That's interesting! Except the one from NY, Princess normally moves its ship away from the Caribbean in the summer!

Sounds like they're meeting a demand from the many who would love to cruise to the Caribbean with their children when school is out!

Good for Princess!

Yes and less expensive sailing close to home

I was thinking that too. They are probably getting plenty of requests for summer Caribbean cruises. It looks like the winter Caribbean, winter Mexican Riviera and the Exotics (Hawaii, South Pacific, Asia, Australia/New Zealand, and the South American cruises) routes are left to announce. Waiting impatiently.

Love that Emerald Princess with be offering alternating 7-night East-West Caribbean cruises out of Ft.Lauderdale!

They could be combined to make a perfect B2B cruise!

But Princess does sail from NY to the Caribbean in the summer ... what am I missing?

What you are missing is that there have been very few Caribbean cruises sailing out of the Florida ports in the summer.

Most ships have repositioned to either Alaska or to Europe. Several lines are keeping more ships closer to home during the summer months and are giving the Caribbean itineraries a chance during hurricane season.

The cost of European cruises and airfare in the current economic environment has caused the change. Did you notice Carnival left the Freedom and Liberty at home this year? Only the Dream will be in Europe this year.

So glad Princess added more itineraries and another ship (Emerald) to the Caribbean during the summer.
Hope they continue.

Yrs ago they offered Southern, Eastern, and Western.

Can't wait for my
August 09 Caribbean Cruise
and
July 10 Caribbean Cruise
