Princess Deposits refundable?

[sugarsnap1981]

Hi All,

 

Are the Princess cruise deposits 100% refundable? My husband is worried that we are front loading our sabbatical and is weary about pulling the trigger and putting the deposit down... :( Any insights?

 

Thanks!

Yes , they are in NA if canceled by the final payment date, but occasionally Princess does have specials that are non-refundable but I believe these are usually sell off prices after the final payment date for that cruise..

Thanks so much for the confirmation!

When booking, just be sure that you are not booking a special where the deposits are not refundable. Many special sales long before final payment come with a non-refundable deposit feature.

 

Also, if you are booking with a Travel Agent, make sure there is not a cancellation fee from the travel agent. If there is, pick another agency.

The Princess Sales that seem to occur every few weeks often specify

Non-refundable deposits in the fine print.

If that scares you , book at the best refundable rate code available

to you , for your sailing. Your TA familiar with Princess ,can explain .

FLASH rates for bookings (may appear after Final ), are full payment , non-refundable .

As already said sale promotions come with the NR-NT deposit & not just the last-minute specials. For those of us with a $100 FCC deposit losing the deposit isn't as big of a consideration as those making a full deposit
