BREAKING NEWS!!!!
We’re getting word that Princess Cruise Lines will be announcing changes to their already announced 2008 Alaska itineraries, travel agents should be receiving a notification in the next day or so if they have clients that will be affected.
Here’s what’s happening- Originally Sun Princess was to sail to the South Pacific , offering sailings from various Australian ports from November 2007 to March 2008. In March 2008 Sun Princess was to head to San Francisco to sail 10 day round trip itineraries to Alaska. Sun Princess instead will remain in the South Pacific offering sailings from Freemantle, Hobart, and Sydney. We are getting mixed reports right now as to whether Sun Princess will continue to operate under the Princess banner in Australia or if she is being transferred to the P & O Australia fleet.
Dawn Princess’ schedule after May 2008 was extremely unclear… until now. Princess had published a 4 day sailing departing May 9th from Vancouver to Ketchikan and ending in Seattle - This was the sailing SeaSocks 2008 was scheduled to be on. Princess had already announced the Dawn Princess would be headed to Australia in November of 2008, but had published no other information for the period between May 13, 2008 and November 2008. It now appears that Princess will be announcing that they are canceling several Dawn Princess sailings including the previously announced May 9th sailing from Vancouver. For the 2008 Alaska season Dawn Princess will return to San Francisco to offer the 10 day round trip sailings to Alaska that she had been sailing for the last several years.
As a result of Princess’ sudden cancellation of the May 9th Dawn Princess sailing, there will be some changes to SeaSocks 2008. Folks who were on SeaSocks 2007 as well as those who have already made reservations for SeaSocks 2008 will be contacted shortly so that we can discuss the situation as well as their options for next year. Once those folks are notified we’ll post more details about our revised plans for SeaSocks 2008. We’ll also have more information on this week’s podcast.
