Princess Cruises has announced the extension of its suspension of operations, and is offering guests the option of requesting a full refund for all monies paid on their booking HERE. Requests for refunds must be received by 15 June 2020.
Alternatively, those guests not applying for a refund and currently booked on the (below) cancelled voyages, who have paid Princess in full, will have the option to receive a Future Cruise Credit (FCC) equivalent to 100% of the cruise fare paid plus an additional bonus FCC equal to 25% of the cruise fare.
For guests who have not paid in full, Princess will Double the Deposit, providing a refundable FCC for the money currently on deposit plus a matching bonus FCC that can be used on any voyage through May 1, 2022. The matching bonus FCC will not exceed the base cruise fare amount of the currently booked cruise and will have a minimum value of $100 per person.
In order to receive the above FCC no action is required.
Cancelled voyages are:
- All remaining Alaska cruises on Emerald Princess and Ruby Princess
