I agree, the price we paid for a balcony with the all inclusive drinks, wifi and tips was less than £100pppn, which I think is pretty amazing!

They aren’t the 17th and 22nd of September cruises are they?
Princess, in fact none of the Carnival Group, are allowing back to back cruises over the summer. There needs to be 7 days between cruises.
Unfortunately I have read posts from people who have managed to book, both direct and through TA, and not been advised until much later. It is in their terms and conditions.

I am a fan of Princess, and believe there is a cruise line out there for all of us.

Years ago I used to think if I got a cruise in a balcony stateroom for £100 ppn I had a good deal. So these Seacations with the plus fare, especially for those of us lucky enough to also get the BLC discount (thank you Ladyshopper for pointing that out) are amazing value.

I’m sailing on Sky Princess at end of August.

We're not on a Staycation cruise but we're booked on a 10 day Caribbean from Miami on Enchanted Princess in March - we've only done one Princess cruise before, on Ruby.
I've already booked 3 shore excursions, and Crown Grill & Le Mer for dinners.
For the 10 nights + pre cruise hotel and all transfers, tips, drinks and wifi it's only £1,473 more than the 4 nighter we have on the Disney Wish next Sept with no extras or inclusions at all! Both brand new ships.

Please don’t go to Miami to board the Enchanted- it sails from Fort Lauderdale!😂
Tip: If anyone is military or ex military, Carnival Corporation give $50, $100 or $250, (depending on length of cruise) as on board credit.

We will be on the same cruise Food is usually good, but I always think the cakes look better than they actually taste. Except for Nutella doughnuts they do taste as good as they look.
