i recently received a letter from American Cruise Lines to welcome past guests of AQV and offerring a discount. They stated they have acquired the riverboats previously operated by American Queen and now have a fleet of 20+ ships across America.
We were recently charged a Cover Charge for the 18% gratuity at the Crown Grill on the Discovery Princess. It was just added to our statement after our Crown Grill dinner.
So is this 18% gratuity also being added to a Chefs Table Dinner??
I'm pleased to say that my Shareholder credit posted to my upcoming cruise. I was late requesting it only 2 weeks before sailing. I did use the Alinea option on my Iphone, and NOT Plaid as others had recommended. After submitting it, they acknowledged receipt in a couple days and said they would submit to Princess for processing. It took another 2 days.
Correction! My Princess Agent called me back and checked again with a Senior Supervisor. She said you are indeed covered for medical issues even if you are on a private tour or on your own in any foreign port during the duration of your cruise. I am sorry for posting the mis-information...... But very happy to know the Princess Insurance covers us on private excursions etc.
Cheers,
Carol
I just talked directly to a Princess Agent and was informed that their insurance does NOT cover you if you are on a private tour or "on your own" in a foreign port. You are only covered off the ship if you are on a Princess sponsored tour. So I will continue to buy an outside policy for medical coverage.
Cheers,

Thank you for this information. If transatlantic from London, does EZ check still qualify?
Also, if flying First Class and no baggage fees are charged, does United still charge for this extra handling?
Thank you for the quick response. I asked this question because a few years ago I was told that the Princess Insurance did not cover you if you were on a Private Tour. I tried to find the info in their policy terms, but couldn't find anything. I used to buy a separate policy to ensure we had coverage. So I am happy to see that you are covered.
Does the Princess Platinum coverage cover medical expenses incurred on a Private Tour in one of the ports. Or does the insurance only cover medical expenses on Princess Ship Tours?
