Princess Offering Pleasant West Coast Cruises in 2012-2013

[Dave]

Something for our west coast friends and members to consider, and other options that any cruiser might want to look into. Press Release

People cried "foul" when Princess substituted these itineraries during the H1N1 scare a couple of years back; but guess what? They loved 'em. Finally, an alternative to the Mexican Riviera for those of us who live out here and sail there as often as those on the other coast sail the Caribbean.

Boy, I'm I getting tired of the Caribbean. Anything else is looking better & better.

[Dave]

I'm sick of the Caribbean and Bahamas too, although I'll be going to Nassau in December, but that is on the Rock Legends cruise so the ports do not matter.

I've started looking for 'something different' and that is why I cancelled the Alaska cruise we had for next year and replaced it with one going to Bermuda AND New England.

Those Princess cruises in the press release also fit the bill of 'something different'.

I'll bet you can guess which one I'm looking at: that's right--the California Coastal r/t from Los Angeles. The overnight in San Francisco is especially appealing when you consider how easy it is to get around on your own. In fact all the ports are very user-friendly.

[Dave]

Rick,

That is a great itinerary, even if you have to visit Ensenada.

[f-mattox]

Ensenada is a good day for the Spa or to just enjoy the ship :-)

[Dave]

For me, visiting Nassau is the same thing. A bonus day aboard the ship to relax.

Living in the Pacific NW our local cruising was limited now with this new costal Princess has our options have opened up. We have booked the California Costal for March 24, 2012. We have been to LA and a quick stop in SF but the other ports will be new. Thanks Princess for the chance at new adventures.
