SANTA CLARITA, Calif.,
March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- While Princess Cruises continues to work with government
and port authorities to finalize its plans for return to cruising,
the company is extending its pause of cruise vacations sailing the
Caribbean, California Coast,
Mexico and Mediterranean through
June 30, 2021.
The pause in operation affects the following voyages:
- Caribbean Princess: Seven-day Western and Eastern Caribbean cruises
- Enchanted Princess: Seven-day Mediterranean & Adriatic,
seven-day Western Mediterranean, and 14-day Western Mediterranean
& Adriatic Medley
- Ruby Princess: Seven-day Classic California Coast, seven-day
Mexican Riviera, and five-day Cabo San Lucas Getaway sailings
For guests booked on a cancelled voyage, Princess
will offer to move guests to the equivalent cruise
in 2022. The rebooking process will have the added
benefit of protecting the guests' 2021 fare on their 2022 voyage.
Alternatively, guests can choose a future cruise credit
(FCC) equivalent to 100% of the cruise fare paid plus an additional
non-refundable bonus FCC equal to 10% of the cruise fare paid
(minimum $25 USD) or a full refund to the original form
of payment.
For guests currently booked on a cancelled voyage where there is
no matched cruise available in 2022, guests
will automatically receive a refundable future cruise
credit (FCC) equivalent to 100% of the cruise fare paid plus
an additional non-refundable bonus FCC equal to 10% of the cruise
fare paid (minimum $25). Alternatively, guests can request
a full refund to the original form of payment.
Requests must be received through
this online
form by April 15,
2021 or guests will automatically receive
the FCC option. FCCs can be used on any cruises booked by
and sailing by December 31,
2022.
Princess will transfer the commission earned by travel
agents from the cancelled 2021 cruise to the new booking
in 2022 for bookings that were paid in full. This
convenience is in recognition of the critical role they play in the
cruise line's business and success.
The most current information and instructions for booked guests
affected by these cancellations, and more information on FCCs and
refunds, can be found online at Information on Impacted &
Cancelled Cruises.
