We are to be on the Caribbean Princess cruising out of New York next Aug and Sep. Looking at the latest Cancellation Notice, after the cancelled cruises the CB starts back in Fort Lauderdale at the end of May. I haven't heard anything about where it will go after drydock, just that it will sail from SF to VAN on a 3 day coastal and then will go into drydock in Portland.

I would have thought that all the ships would be in top top shape after being out of service for over a year. They had plenty of time to get any work done during that time. I agree. Unless there is something about the ship that needs to be addressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked the Princess site and it shows you can’t book any cruises on the CB in April 2022. We are booked on the 4/30/2022 cruise. I hope they update both the drydock schedule and their website to the correct information soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew J. Cat Posted August 3, 2021 #31 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Our May 7 western Caribbean was just cxld due to dry dock. We selected May 14 eastern Caribbean as a substitute via a link that they emailed to us. I then called Princess to try to firm it up an select a cabin. They said we had to wait until they process it. Grrrr!!! We’re extremely picky as far as cabin location. The Princess rep advised that it could take up to 30 days for us to be transferred to the new sailing. <sigh> Oh well. First world problems. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 5:00_Somewhere Posted August 3, 2021 #34 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Got confirmation from our PCC: cancelled the from our 3/20 sailing through the 5/7 cruise. We can switch to any of the other 7-day sailings on the CB but, unfortunately, they're only doing our same itinerary once in Feb and once in May and neither date works for us. We've done all the others too many times for them to be appealing. As someone else said, First World Problems. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GottaLuvCruising Posted August 3, 2021 #35 Share Posted August 3, 2021 We are taking our granddaughters on the Caribbean Princess March 13, 2022. Princess notified us today that our itinerary is shortened to six days (that's OK) but they are dropping Cozumel and keeping the two tender ports. This is disappointing.

GottaLuvCruising Posted August 3, 2021 #36 Share Posted August 3, 2021 2 hours ago, ALWAYS CRUZIN said: Only two cruises are listed for March 2022 March 6th and March 27th. No others. So the 13th to the 26th just about two weeks are no cruises. Our cruise 3/13 will sail, but is being modified to just six days (dropping Cozumel.) Spring breaks 2019 and 2020 were canceled, so this is an improvement, but I'm disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cltnccruisers Posted August 4, 2021 #38 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Today our March 20, 2022, Eastern Caribbean on Caribbean Princess was canceled. This was a family cruise with daughters, granddaughters and a boyfriend. It had previously been rebooked from March 2021. Fortunately, we have an excellent Princess VCP. She had helped us through the first cancelation which involved adding people and upgrading from balconies to mini-suites. She is a gem and today helped us with rebooking again. Third time's the charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been told by a reliable source that the ship will do a 3 day from San Francisco to Vancouver, arriving April 10th, and then go to drydock. I still see sailings on the East Coast for the ship through next spring? If they do a 3 day from SF it’s not listed on the Princess web site.

Tom🤔 To get the ship to the west coast and then back again to the east coast would mean going through the new Panama Canal locks each way and overall for the time involved (at least 30 days) would be very costly operating a ship with no revenue passengers.

Reina del Mar Posted August 4, 2021 #46 Share Posted August 4, 2021 We were due to sail on 20th March Caribbean PRincess 14 day cruise…another one lost. Fortunate to see information on here which made me check Princess updates for cancelled cruises…found the info posted above. Sad thing is when I phoned our travel agent, they knew absolutely nothing about it and needed to check cancellations on Princess website too. Apparently they can’t do anything until they receive official notification !!!!!! Life is not simple these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
