Rare Paula_MacFan Posted February 24 #4 Share Posted February 24 Maybe depends on the itinerary? I've had a 2026 Panama Canal cruise booked since mid-December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phabric Posted February 24 Author #6 Share Posted February 24 (edited) He said the rest of 2026 as presently spring 2026 for Caribbean itineraries. I said Princess releases Caribbean, Alaska, Europe, Canada & New England at different times, he said the rest of 2025/2026. Presently, no discount sailing bookings through Future Cruise Dept on the Sky. Edited February 24 by phabric 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to make a second trip to get my booking corrected & FCD applied. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LACruiser88 Posted February 24 #8 Share Posted February 24 (edited) FWIW, we booked March of 2026, 54-day Island cruise, a month ago. We are also booked for 50 days on the Sun, for Oct/Nov of 2025. Now we are ready for cruises in the second half of 2026 to be released.

Since there was no benefit I chose to work through my travel agent instead of transferring a booking to her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTrail Posted February 29 #13 Share Posted February 29 Yeah, I'm already booked on the Baltic cruise at the end of May 2025. Guess I've got 6 months til I look if I'm going on a 2026 cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yyjguy Posted March 1 #14 Share Posted March 1 Be aware that the Future Cruise desk on board is no longer staffed by Princess Cruise employees. The reps there work for a large travel consortium and are really travel agents paid my commissions. They are urged to push certain cruises for which their agency has group bookings. They also give your information to shoreside staff who often hound you once home with very high pressure sales tactics for “cruise/resort stay packages”. A very sad change. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very surprised to read your posting about Future Cruise desk being staffed by travel agents not Princess Cruise employees. I am a travel agent and would not be too happy if I booked onboard and lost my commission to someone else. Also, I would not like to be hounded by shore side staff.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same Future Cruise folks also took over the onboard Captain Circle duties. And, they are also the same company that manages the upgrade bid process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't call them travel agents per se. They are a travel company that Princess has contracted with to do this for them. I guess they decided it was cheaper that way. But once you book the cruise, it's just like you booked it online from what I've read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purchase $100/pp FCDs on board and you use that as deposit on your next booking and earn back OBC, depending on cabin category and voyage length.

I did purchase some FCDs and used them to book our next cruise with our travel agent 🙂. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LN1Casey Posted March 9 #22 Share Posted March 9 I hope the September/August 2026 tours get released sooner than June/July. That's my next availability, and I'm excited to start planning for it sooner rather than later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
