We’re Platinum disembarking from our Diamond cruise in Japan, and we can see the prices of the new 2025 SA itineraries. Probably because it’s July 27 over here in Japan. 😂 Another fun fact. I’m in California, I’m Platinum, it’s the 26, and I can book the SA cruises if I want to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have very much enjoyed it. Alaska, however is my absolute favorite state to visit, and I've been to every US state at least twice, most several times, Alaska 4 times. Enjoy!!!!!

geoff2802 Posted July 27, 2023 #235 Share Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) I see Sapphire will arrive in LA from Santiago on April 8, 2025. The next cruise I see in Alaska spreadsheet is a Pacific Coastal from LA departing on May 10. Is it likely that Sapphire will do a couple of Hawaii cruises at this time? Sorry, I just saw there is a 32 day Pacific cruise. Edited July 27, 2023 by geoff2802 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angekins Posted July 27, 2023 #236 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I'm in Australia, just logged into my Princess account, all excited and expecting to be able to see and book for South America and Antartica for 2025.....but no 😞 apparently, according to the live chat person, here in Australia we can only start booking from 11am Friday 28th, Sydney time - argh!

I didn’t take this as critical at all! We had a SA/Antarctic cruise planned before covid, and we hope to get there again in the future. So glad to hear you enjoyed it. Agree with you about Alaska. The cruise in 2025 will be our 4th one there! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdey16 Posted July 27, 2023 #238 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Hi all , I’ve been following along reading all this information about Alaska and this will be our very first time going to Alaska so we wanted to get it right . we really like the 22 day ultimate Alaska cruise on the Ruby princess and would book a balcony cabin , can anyone give any recommendations what balconies would be best , port or starboard side ? and most importantly are any of the balconies protected from the elements with a over hang, any tips are welcomed.

Actually, we saw a cruise in Jan 2025 from Buenos Aires to Ft Lauderdale with 3 stops in Brazil that looked super awesome. So we sent an email to our TA to book it! 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An aft-facing premium balcony if they have any available. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, not happy. I was up in the middle of the night expecting to be able to book. I ended up on the phone to Princess this afternoon and holding a booking - of course the cabins I had picked were gone! Also no OBC was being offered.

dreaminofcruisin Posted July 27, 2023 #242 Share Posted July 27, 2023 It looks like I should have booked yesterday.... Today the $900 OBC is there, but only if you book the Plus package..... ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We often travel with another couple and I was waiting for them to indicate if they are interested in which case we would get cabins next to each other. It actually makes more sense that it would be only the Plus package, so those of you who got it without got a real deal I think! I'll let the dust settle a bit and see if I am ready to pull the trigger. I have been booking the Plus package in the past, but it appears in 2025 (if this is correct), it's showing as $80/day and at that rate.... I'm out.... 🤷♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to my TA, it's still available today even with a standard package because I was helping another friend inquiring about it. If you ever need a TA to book cruises for you, let me know and I can refer you to my agent. Her response is very prompt and I have been using her service for many years. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually get a mini suite and their comparable signature suite is a good deal for ports visited. Still deciding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I booked a suite yesterday for the 51-day SA cruise and am getting $2300 from Princess. Seems kind of out of whack, though I have to say the suite prices were very low. I figure out the cost per day on our cruises, and normally they are around $1,000/day. The 51-day cruise works out to about $606/day. Go figure.
