Royal Caribbean, Princess and P&O
Update 14 Sept 2009, I have kept this post on here, though I am no longer using the image generated.
The whole purpose of this post is not to talk about our Cheap Cruises even though they are cheap, it is to help create the logo on the front page using Wordle, the great free website that looks at feeds from websites and creates words based on those feeds.
For our feed imprint we want Royal Caribbean, Princess and P&O to show up more than anything else, along with Planet Cruise as well as the term cruise deals. What I almost forgot was Med, as I have missed Med off my last post. Mediterranean should also be shown as well so I will say it, Mediterranean again!
So with a little playing around, this post will give us what we want!
Princess Cruises World Cruise
Princess Cruises have announced that Dawn Princess will partake in a second 104 night World Cruise departing from Sydney, Australia on the 21st May 2010.
Sailing westbound the cruise will make 42 ports of call in 26 countries, these will include the European ports of Venice, Dubrovnik, Rome, Florence, Barcelona in the Med as well as Paris. Also included in the European section is Southampton and Dublin.
Further afield the ports of Boston, Newport and New York in the USA, the Caribbean islands of Antigua and Barbados and a transit of the Panama Canal to Mexico, LA, Hawaii, Tahiti, American Samoa and Auckland before returning to Sydney.
As with most World Cruises, Princess Cruises are offering passengers the chance to book shorter sectors of the cruise. They have also stated that anyone booking the full cruise before 1st August 2009, will receive $1000 per person on board credit, while passengers who only book a sector of 50 nights or longer will enjoy an on board credit of $500.
World Cruises tend to sell quickly and this Princess Cruises World Cruise on board Dawn Princess will be no different.
