2028 World Cruise, 100 day, 41 ports

...........All the following needs updated when I get time................/h2>

Princess gives you three levels of reservation, standard, plus and premium. We again did standard as it saves us money since we don't drink a lot of alcohol or go to the specialty dining much. My main disappointment with their loyalty program is that they no longer (since 2019, I believe) give you any wifi minutes included. We use to get 150 or more free minutes on each cruise. Now you have to pay, and it is not inexpensive. Platinum and Elite get 50% off, but it still cost around $20 per day.

This would be our 39th-42rd cruise (16-19/318 days on Princess (after this cruise), 13/148 days on Norwegian, 6/44 days on Carnival, 3/26 days on Royal Caribbean and 1/9 days on Celebrity) = 545 days of fun and relaxing cruising.

Coral Princess (Jan. 18 - April 28, 2028)

Coral Princess is an older, smaller ship in Princess Cruises fleet. It entered service in Jan. 2003, with major refurbishments completed in 2019 and 2024 to modernize its amenities. We heard but I don't see it scheduled, the Coral Princess was suppose to get a refurbishment (fix piping and carpets) in Oct. or Nov. 2026. The Coral Princess holds 1,970 passengers, 900 crew. We cruised on this ship on our 2026 Asia cruise and liked the size, amenities and staff.
