2019 - 2020 Caribbean Itineraries

As we prepare for our upcoming Disney Wonder voyage, we decided to hunt down the 2019 and 2020 Princess Caribbean itineraries and take a close look at them.

Here are some of the higher level statistics compared with 2019.

Summary 2019 2020
Total Voyages 122 119
Ships Caribbean, Crown, Pacific,
 Regal, Royal

Season Length 181 days 187 days
Itinerary Types 11 9
7 - 9 day voyages 45 41
10 - 14 day voyages 63 62
20 day voyages 14 16
Average INSIDE brochure fare  $                         928.55  $                          857.75
Average BALCONY brochure fare  $                      1,428.55  $                       1,262.75
Average MINI-SUITE brochure fare  $                      1,687.64  $                       1,522.75

Notably absent is the Eastern Caribbean Treasures itinerary which included stops in Grand Turk, Princess Cays, Amber Cove, and San Juan.  Grand Turk calls are down also, however Ocho Rios shows up again for 2 voyages in 2020 whereas it will be absent in 2019.

As you might have noticed in the table above, fares have come down about 10% year over year, all things averaged (7 day voyages).

As anticipated, the Sky Princess will make her American debut in the Caribbean sailing primarily the alternating east and west Caribbean "milk runs".  Total weekly capacity for Princess goes up slightly in the Caribbean as the Royal is now out on the Pacific Coast.
