BnDcruisers Posted March 22, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Hi all, It looks like the Princess cruise line will be removing the Pacific Princess from their fleet in the near future. I recievied an email from Princess yesterday that says staring in January 2021 the world cruises will be on the Island Princess and if you book a world cruise or a segment of a world cruise early, they will give you some unbelievable deals. Which I can understand because the Island Princess holds 2200 vs 670 for the Pacific Princess. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be tempted to book the cruise but there is no way I can be gone that long or during tax season. Can you just imagine the amount of mail you would have waiting for you after a 111 day cruise!

Cruise Junky Posted March 22, 2019 #3 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I don't think there has been any confirmation that she's leaving but yes, as you said, certainly confirmation that she's not doing the WC. Did the e:mail give any details of the trip? It may be something we'd be interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivesLikeMario Posted March 22, 2019 #4 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Some of my friends just got off the 29 day world cruise segment. They had flooding in their cabin from the high waves crashing over the bow. They were really disappointed with the ship in so many ways. I was sad to hear that because it's one of my favorite ships. They said the crew were telling them the ship was going in for a refurbishment soon but it just had one in 2017. ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltd Posted March 22, 2019 #5 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Yes the email gave the ports for the full cruise as well as each of the segments they will be offering. Open for reservations for former Princess cruisers on March 27th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been many rumors about the Pacific leaving Princess. IMO........I think it will be with the next 24 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrak Posted March 22, 2019 #17 Share Posted March 22, 2019 What a drag to spend that much time on Island Princess. I can't afford a world cruise anyway but, if I could, I wouldn't want it to be on Island Princess. I really dislike what they did to that ship. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This way it forces people who really want to do the WC to have to sail her because they know it will sell out regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing that Princess did when they scheduled the Island for many of the full transit Panama canal cruises. People would book it because they really wanted the canal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Junky Posted March 22, 2019 #21 Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) Sad that they butchered her. We liked her 45 day LA - Singapore segment but just saw a 43 day on HAL of a similar route, wayyyyyy less money and includes drinks. $7,000 pp on HAL with drinks and $11,000 pp on Princess. I'll take the non butchered ship for $8,000 please. Edited March 22, 2019 by Cruise Junky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaDog-46 Posted March 23, 2019 #25 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Pacific Princess is due her 20 year survey in 2019. The docking could have interferred with the world cruise & that is why Island is doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
