[CruiseSter1ing]

Anyone know when the schedule for bookings for 2026 Alaska for the Star Princess?  Also which port will host the departures?

Loyalty week??? how did I miss that?  Just for elites?

I haven’t seen that either.  I usually wait for the announcements from @LACruiser88 to post them! 😳

Am I remembering correctly that when they first mentioned the Star Princess in Alaska they mentioned July 18th for beginning bookings?

Yep, the Elite benefit of booking a day early is dead. Now Gold and above can book for a week in advance of newbies getting to book.

Just booked an Alaskan cruise today.  I had to be signed in to my account to see pricing.

Does anyone know what Princess is doing to reposition the Star Princess from the Caribbean to the west coast for the May 2026 Alaskan cruises during March/April 2026? I did not see anything slotted in for the ship during that time period for a Panama or a South American sailing.

Her last Caribbean cruise ends in Ft Lauderdale on March 28 and her first Alaskan cruise departs Seattle on May 3.  That is 35 days unaccounted for.  A Panama Canal full transit Ft Lauderdale to LA is about 15 days and a repo from LA to Seattle is less than a week.  There would still be some free time.  There would also be time to sail around Cape Horn.  It will be interesting to see what Princess is planning.

The Alaska itinerary schedule is terrible when they don’t provide a full day at Victoria.  A highlight for us on any Alaskan voyage. Arriving at 7pm and departure at 11:59 is nonsense.
