OK, when I get the advance release of the itineraries like this, I don’t get “true” itineraries showing port times or sea days or anything. I only get a listing of ports, in very small print on a fax that’s hard to read. SO, again, please forgive any errors or typos! I know there will be lots. I’m not going to take the time to look up the foreign ports that are a blur. I’d rather just get you the info ASAP.

I forgot to mention in the first post that Princess seems to have the same three “cruisetours” available, on select dates (not every sailing).
They have “Under the Tuscan Sun” with some Emerald, Grand and Star cruises hooking onto Greek Isles cruises and Greek Isles / Med cruises.
They have Cathedrals and Castles of Imperial Europe hooking on to some Star Princess Baltic itineraries.
And The Ring Of Kerry hooking onto various Grand Princess sailings from London.

Also, new “change fees”. $50pp if you add Princess air or change or add Princess hotels 45 days or less before sailing.

Merci Marie-Claude, j'espère que votre itinéraire s'y trouve. Chose certaine, ce n'est pas le choix qui manque. Il y aura de plus en plus de navire en Europe et c'est tant mieux pour tout le monde. Les autres compagnies devraient suivre bientôt, mais Princess est dûr à battre pour la grande variété d'itinéraire proprosée peut importe l'endroit.

Allez les autres, un peu d'imagination.
