Princess Insurance Rate Increase?

[PescadoAmarillo]

Maybe they increased the rates after you booked and are not applying the new rates retroactively.

 

No, I just started another dummy booking and the PVP is still being charged at 8% (cruise fare of $1099).

Okay, I may be incorrect. I guess the difference in Vacation Protection cost is the difference in how much the cruise is costing. I received a discount due to using referral program. Our base fares were the same to start with, but I had a larger discount. It took me days to figure this one out.

Thank Rick,

 

Where did you find this? This is definitely a change from three months ago when there was a three tier breakdown.

 

 

I also thought it was a 2 tier system?

Stacy we have cruises booked into 2017 and the insurance was still 8%.

 

That's why I said MAY increase. Sailings before summer of 2016 are still charged on the three tier system which is

 

Up to $2,499.99 is 8% and 12%

$2,500.00 to $4,999.99 is 7% and 11%

$5,000 and greater is 6% and 10%

 

You can see this in this brochure on page 96

Effective with sailings in the summer of 2016 the third tier has been eliminated so cruise fare $2,500 or greater will now be 7% and 11%.
