-Lew- Posted December 25, 2016 #2 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Is Princess keeping a ship in the Caribbean this summer? If so, which ship? Not summer 2017. The Caribbean Princess will be sailing the Caribbean summer 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted December 25, 2016 #3 Share Posted December 25, 2016 As the schedule is out for Summer 2017, all you need to do is look at the Princess website for the answer. No ship in the Caribbean for May-September 2017. They will for 2018-Caribbean Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working 2 Cruise Posted December 25, 2016 #5 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Carnival, and Disney do. So? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdshaw1000 Posted December 25, 2016 #6 Share Posted December 25, 2016 So? So? I was attempting to be helpful to Claudia. Grinch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo222 Posted December 25, 2016 #7 Share Posted December 25, 2016 (edited) So? So ... it might be helpful to someone looking for a cruise in the summer. As opposed to, say, your post. Edited December 25, 2016 by pablo222 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridalover5623 Posted December 25, 2016 #8 Share Posted December 25, 2016 I wonder just how successful Princess will be competing with Royal Caribbean, Carnival, and Disney who seem to cater to kids more. People who cruise during the summer months are usually families with kids out of school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akeasley Posted December 25, 2016 #9 Share Posted December 25, 2016 I was surprised to see that princess was offering summer cruises again since I didn't think they were very successful a few years ago. Didn't they have to practically give them away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riclop Posted December 26, 2016 #11 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Is Princess keeping a ship in the Caribbean this summer? If so, which ship? Thanks! Claudia In 2018 there will be a ship all summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyboy Posted December 26, 2016 #12 Share Posted December 26, 2016 There are sale every so often. One just have to put value to all perks offered and compare with previous sale if it is any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted December 26, 2016 #13 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I was surprised to see that princess was offering summer cruises again since I didn't think they were very successful a few years ago. Didn't they have to practically give them away? a) With the geopolitical troubles in Europe and the Med, there is less demand and thus Princess believes having a ship in the Caribbean in the summer is a more profitable opportunity. (Princess is not the only cruise line to do this.) b) There are often posts by people saying they wish Princess had Caribbean itineraries in the summer. Now their wish will come true in 2018.

satxdiver Posted December 26, 2016 #14 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Caribbean Princess will be in the Caribbean the summer of 2018 on 7 day cruises. I would say they are experimenting with where they can get the most revenue per ship. As pointed out other cruise lines have kept ships in the Caribbean in the summer for years.

venicecruiser Posted December 26, 2016 Author #15 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Thank you all for the info. For some reason I thought it was summer of 2017. Claudia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akeasley Posted December 26, 2016 #16 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I remember them giving away the short cruises but the summer Caribbean ones always seem to sell out. I'll have to look into this more, it would be a good time to cruise with kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare donswife Posted December 26, 2016 #17 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I'll have to look into this more, it would be a good time to cruise with kids. The caveat for planning summer Caribbean cruises is that there is an increased (though not enormous) chance that your itinerary could change due to hurricane season. as long as you are flexible in what ports you will visit, it should not be a problem.
