suekel Posted November 20, 2020 #26 Share Posted November 20, 2020 My cruise on the Discovery for 4/24/2022 has been canceled due to redeployment. However the cruise on 4/10/2022 is offered as an alternative. Not sure what is happening there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just the one April sailing that has been cancelled - the reason given for the cancellation is "Redeployment" which means they are revising her itinerary for that sailing and beyond (which were not yet published). This is normal for a last sailing of a season where they decide to move a vessel a few weeks earlier than planned for her following seasonal deployment. The same thing recently happened to folks booked on the Sky for 3/12 3/19 and 3/26 2022 sailings Edited November 20, 2020 by AtlantaCruiser72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one cancelled for Covid and 2 now for redeployment. We going to rebook for the Discovery 2 weeks earlier. We could do the Majestic but I don't want to sail on her.

Some of my cruises I booked myself and 2 other ones are via my new TA. I've been kind of tired getting new emails from Princess wanting me to book another cruise, so I've been kind of lazy and deleting them w/o reading them. Now that I know that I'd get an email from Princess I guess I'd better start reading ALL my emails from them again. We're booked on the Discovery on the 11-17-22 sailing, week before you. Sorry to hear yours got cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarky213 Posted November 20, 2020 #38 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Just received an email from Princess. My 1st May 2022 cruise on Discovery has been cancelled due to redeployment. Need to look for something else as that was our 30th Anniversary cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly, if I'm going somewhere warm, I need more pools. That's a dealbreaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I read a little more between the lines and interpreted his statement as being “I have to say the ship is on time until corporate announces she will be delayed”. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare stevenr597 Posted December 22, 2020 #43 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Princess is still advertising and booking this ship. I am hopeful that they can get it ready to sail on time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milolii Posted December 22, 2020 #44 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I booked a b2b just recently for April 24, 2022, Cabo; and then April 29, LA to Vancouver. So I am guessing this is the new deployment? Very small deposit, thanks to my Princess Consultant. Hope it goes, so interested in updates on the Discovery Princess.

But for the sake of the many guests who've booked, I hope they don't have to derail too many plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bajapen Posted December 25, 2020 #46 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I am booked on the November 17, 2021 twenty one day TA from Barcelona to Ft Lauderdale. I am really hoping the ship will be ready. Did the inaugural TA in 2019 on the Sky and loved it. Also booked March 2022 in the Caribbean on the Enchanted which I know will be sailing. At least we don’t have to make final payment until August and by then Princess should know if the ship will be ready or not. If not, then it will be cancelled. By using a FCD, no harm, no foul.

Rare stevenr597 Posted December 26, 2020 #47 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Princess is still advertising and still booking. Looking at the rooms listed, it does seem that the ship is well booked, I don’t believe that Club Class is available. Still hopeful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're doing the Cruisetour and embarking on the 24th for the Spanish Passage and TA. I am so looking forward to it...hope it happens...we will be more than ready by then!!

I wanted to try to take advantage of the new promo with the Specialty Dinner but our TA said we might lose the Mini that we already chose. We can forgo the new deal and buy our own dinner with all the OBC we have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
