caribbean princess in 2025?

[cruiseray]

the caribbean princess is our favorite princess ship.  i am a little worried as i do not see any cruises for this ship during 2025.  anyone heard any rumours?  i realize princess does not have the entire 2025 yet but like i said i am worried that maybe princess will sell it.

Caribbean Princess is being relocated to Europe (May 2024). I'm guessing the Sun Princess will take over her Caribbean runs.  

 

Her itineraries are up now.  She will mostly be homeported in Southampton.

Caribbean Princess has no schedule beyond her 2024 Europe season. She was not included in the recent fall 2024 to spring 2025 Caribbean, Panama Canal, West coat or Australia/Nz deployments. Sapphire will most likely go to South America when it is released.
 

Unless Princess have a new homeport deployment in the works, or plan on putting her on short 4/5 day Caribbean from Ft Lauderdale or Galveston I fear she may potentially be leaving the fleet.  She would be the logical next ship to be transferred to P&O Australia as she is very similar in layout to the former Star/Golden (current Pacific Adventure/Encounter), just with an extra deck of cabins. She could give that brand a nice bump in capacity were they to sell the Pacific Explorer (former Dawn Princess of 1997).

Say not so. The Grand (also fate unknown) and the CB are the only ships left with the Fiesta Deck Window Suites.

She is scheduled to do a Transatlantic on November 10th, 2024 to Ft. Lauderdale, but nothing after that. They haven't announced the 2024/2025 South America schedule yet. Maybe the Caribbean Princess will be doing those itineraries for the season. Hoping it stays in the fleet.

There have been rumors that the Caribbean Princess (2004) will transfer to P&OAU to replace the ageing Pacific Explorer. (1996)

Same here and sounds plausible as the 2nd sphere class ship would arrive in 2025 as well
