Searching function on the Princess website

[ExploringTheGlobe]

The old search site on Princess used to allow for selecting a specific port but now I only see an option to add it the start/end port. Anyone found a good way to search for cruises that go to a specific port?  Or maybe I am just not seeing it?

This was discussed quite a bit when the change was made. It was a terrible change.

Just use https://www.cruisetimetables.com/ and choose your selection from Ports of Call.  EM

Thanks. Great site.

For some inexplicable reason, Princess did away with this.  I've suggested numerous times on their feedback tab that they add it back, but you can see how much good that's done...

Thanks for the link.  I wish it would allow to select the cruise line instead of a specific ship.

It is a terrible change.  For a long time, I could still use a backdoor link to the old search site but it no longer works 😞

I wish that site let you denote which cruise line you are interested in. Entering a specific ship is too granular if you don't know which ship might go somewhere. I'd like to only see the Princess offerings.

Yep. I kept my old link for a long time as well but it finally stopped working. I really dislike the new system. Do we really need pictures?

Right?  And to select the start/end port, you first have to select region.  More steps than necessary.

And CC moved this out of Princess even though this topic is specifically Princess.  WTH?? 

[Essiesmom]

Someone apparently thought you were asking about the search function on CC, not on Princess website.  EM

They obviously did not read the posts!  Or even the first sentence!

Howdy all!  

 

To help the other Host, I have edited the thread title and returned the thread to the original forum.

 

I sincerely hope this will be helpful to all.

 

Happy sails,

On the Princess site you hit the "destinations" tab. Then under "plan & book" you see ports of call, hit that. Select a destination, then select a port of call. Hit "view details". You can then click to view cruises from chosen destination.

 

It's long winded but it gets you the info you want.

Thank you.  They definitely have made it much more difficult.  And in that method, one still needs to select the "destination" first which means one must know the destination cruises it may show up in.   For example, I tested out Bermuda.  When I put in TA, it came up.  But when I put in Asia (I know it isn't in Asia, it was for a test), it does not come up.  So it still defeats the purpose a bit.  But it is a tool.  Thank you!

They also took out the ability to see the other available cabins as well. I wanted to find a balcony cabin and also an inside cabin that is near by for my son and his friends. 
it makes it much more difficult to find anything. Sometimes I might want to get the next level balcony but can only see the one cabin type. 
so frustrating

You have made my wife very happy. Thank you!
