2027 World Cruise segments

These two cruises sounded good to us, so we reserved each with $50 down payment (an additional $350 for each cruise was required two weeks later). We needed to see how finances and life was evolving before committing and final payments which are due Sept. 9, 2026 and Oct.? The cruise prices are $15,112 and $13,206 = $28,318 divided by 68 days = $410.41 per day for an obstructed oceanview stateroom on deck 8 (E616) behind a tender boat. Lynn didn't want to change rooms between cruises so this limited our choices.

Well, life has a strange way of moving you and in February 2026 we got a good offer to buy our Key Largo condo, with closing in May. Lynn had been wanting to sell for a while, with the idea of going other places in the winter and more financial stability. I had been hesitant, liking our time on the water with our boat and having a set up place with our things. The offer, the fact that we were spending less time at our condo and the thought of more winter adventures like current cruises, won me over.

First cruise, 37 nights (Jan. 21, 2027): Los Angeles; Hilo, Hawaii; Kahului, Maui; Honolulu, Oahu; Nawiliwili, Kauai, HI; Pago Pago, American Samoa; Suva, Fiji; Dravuni Island, Fiji; Port-Vila, Vanuatu; Luganville, Vanuatu; Rabaul, Papua New Guinea; Alotau (Milne Bay), Papua New Guinea; Cairns, Australia; Airlie Beach, Australia; Brisbane, Australia; Sydney, Australia

Second cruise, 32 nights (Feb. 27, 2027): Sydney, Australia; Auckland, New Zealand; Tauranga, New Zealand; Christchurch (Lyttelton), New Zealand; Dunedin (Port Chalmers), New Zealand; Fiordland National Park, New Zealand (cruising); Hobart, Tasmania, Australia; Adelaide, Australie; Perth (Fremantle), Australia; Kimberley Coast, Australia (Cruising); Darwin, Australia; Bali, Indonesia; Lombok, Indonesia; Singapore

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.

Our longest cruise so far is 53 nights and we said we could have kept going. So, if we commit to these cruises, they will be our longest (69 nights). We booked through Costco and would get a $1,050 and a $895 digital costco shop cards for booking with them. I also bought Carnival stock which could give us two $250 credits for these two cruises, due to stock benefits.

This would be our ?? cruise (??/??? days on Princess (after this cruise), ??/??? days on Norwegian, 6/44 days on Carnival, 3/26 days on Royal Caribbean and 1/9 days on Celebrity) = ??? days of fun and relaxing cruising.

Coral Princess (Jan. 21 - March 31, 2027)

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. The Coral Princess holds 1,970 passengers, 900 crew, we booked an obstructed oceanview stateroom on deck 8 (E616) behind a tender boat. This will be a smaller ships for us as we have mostly cruised on ships from 4,004 to 1,380 passengers, crews from 550 to 1,735.
