Princess News & General Princess Chatter / Re: Unofficial Daily Schedule update
« Last post by RichC on May 09, 2024, 07:32:44 AM »I find it almost impossible to do any future cruise planning's without the spreadsheet.
If you rely the Princess web site you're in the dark, not knowing which ships are sailing during any period without extensive searching.

Discovery Princess Chatter / I cruised on the Discovery Princess, here’s my review of the voyage
« Last post by Host Mike on May 08, 2024, 06:05:53 PM »"The lovely Discovery Princess, the second newest cruise ship among Princess Cruises’ fleet, is one of the most elegant I’ve voyaged on — and I’ve been on 10+ cruises (read: best cruises I reviewed). So, you can say I’ve become quite the cruise critic over the years."

Princess News & General Princess Chatter / Princess (sort of) is waiving goodbye to Australia (for now)
« Last post by Host Mike on May 08, 2024, 09:07:00 AM »"Of Majestic Princess, Royal Princess, Grand Princess and Coral Princess, only Royal will be returning to Australia next season. However, Diamond Princess and Crown Princess will be joining the party.
Then another shake up will happen in 2025/2026, when Royal and Diamond make way, but Grand Princess returns, and Discovery Princess excitingly arrives for the first time in Australia.
While both the following years will represent a decrease in Australian capacity for Princess, from October 2024, Crown Princess will be sailing year-round in Australia. Furthermore, Discovery Princess will represent the biggest Princess ship to home port in Australia, marking the cruise lines intention to promote cruising in the region."
