Caribbean Princess replacing Crown Princess in New York

I don't remember seeing this information posted on RTC, again this is
from the CNDs public website.

http://www.cruisenewsdaily.com/

"* The Caribbean Comes to New York
Mar 16 - Since New Yorkers are sailing to the Caribbean on Princess,
Princess thought it only appropriate to bring the Caribbean to them. In
the summer of 2008, Princess will base Caribbean Princess in New York,
sailing 9-night cruises from the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal to the Eastern
Caribbean.
The ship will replace Crown Princess which established Princess' New
York/Caribbean cruises last summer and will continue them this summer.
Crown Princess will be getting its turn to wow European passengers in
the summer of 2008."

Caribbean Princess from Brooklyn will be the only Princess ship in the
Caribbean in the summer of 2008.

This I don't like at all!!

Did you find out about this on your last cruise? I didn't think that
Princess had announced their summer 2008 Caribbean schedule yet.

Replying to myself.lol

I just checked the Princess website and you are right. It also seems
that the Caribbean Princess will be doing exactly the same itin that we
did on the Crown Princess last summer.

I have been checking Princess and Travelocity and this only shows up on
Princess now. It must of just come out a day or so ago.

sue - not happy with Princess!!

I found out about it on CC. Someone posted the schedules not too long ago.
I don't think I like it either. If it's the only option for Princess to the
Caribbean in the summer then I think the fares will be high. It seems like
Princess thinks that they are better off with their ships in Europe and
Alaska in the summer months. They are also cutting short the season from
New York, like this year with the Crown Princess. They will be sailing
Canada/New England beginning in September instead of the Caribbean up until
the repositioning in October.

Exactly. They can make more money sailing in Europe and Alaska than in the
Caribbean and that's the bottom line.

I also read on CC that the Carribean Princess was replacing the Crown,
but I hadn't read that the C.P. would be the only Princess ship in the
Carribean in the summertime.

We have no interest in a Canada/New England sailing. The repositioning
in October is a great itin. and very good pricing, but the timing
wouldn't be right for us.

I just took a look on the Princess website and aug. 15th is the last
caribbean sailing. The pricing is almost $2000/person in a balcony, very
high IMO.

Gee, I hope not. We're on the Caribbean Princess on August 28 to the
Caribbean. And the balcony prices are a lot lower than that. And I know
there's a September 6 cruise to also to the Caribbean.

Are you talking about it sailing from Florida or from NY?

I haven't seen the new schedules on travelocity yet, only on the
Princess website.
