Seems like Princess has opened up the Sea Princess South American voyage into sectors. Too bad they didn't offer that right from day one.

 

Just received an email about it from Princess. It might interest someone.

They might get dedicated Celebrity cruisers at those prices but if they are not competitive with other cruise lines they are not going to get too many newbies.

 

They do still get a fair number. Do it by advertising as "the only 5 star line" and similar.

 

Just like people going to expensive resorts.

Would definitely have agreed with you Mic about Solstice being the best ship by far ... until last week when we stepped on board the Ovation of the Seas. This is the most amazing ship - you and Rosie will need to try it some time!

 

We will as we are on her for the NYE cruise.:D

Oh I am very jealous! We don't want to have to disembark! She is magnificent! Make sure you pre-book restaurants, shows, activities online before to sailing (preferably as soon as possible) - it will make it very much easier and enjoyable for you.

 

Enjoy!!!

Always pays to check out the fly cruise deals......sometimes you can do them cheaper yourself , but sometimes the TA's get onto a wholesale flight deal that they can pass on to anyone who books the cruise with them.:)

True. Sometimes it is that the accommodation is of a much higher standard as well which not everyone would pay for.
