Princess Cruises Cancelation Policy
You are required to pay a cancelation fee (including 3rd and 4th berths) if You cancel Your Cruise, Cruisetour or Cruise Plus package. Cancelation fees are based on the fare paid, excluding Taxes, Fees and Port Expenses, transfers, surcharges, shore & land excursions and most pre-purchased gift(s) and/or special service(s). You are not entitled to any refund, payment, compensation or credit except as otherwise provided in this Section. Any refunds will be made directly to the method of payment You used at the time of booking or Your travel agent and You must receive Your refund directly from these sources. You may cancel by telephone or electronic advice via a Carrier-approved Computer Reservation System, provided Carrier immediately receives written confirmation of cancelation. In such case cancelation shall be deemed effective as of the close of business Pacific Standard Time on the date You communicated such cancelation.
Since a cancelation likely means a diminished opportunity to sell space on other cruises/cruisetours, the cancelation fees in the schedules below apply regardless of whether Your space is resold. You hereby agree that losses sustained by us in the event of Your cancelation would be very difficult or impossible to quantify, and that the fees set forth in our cancelation policy represent a fair and reasonable assessment as liquidated damages. The amount of cancelation fee varies based on length of sailing for cruise/cruisetour and timing of cancelation for cruise/cruisetour and Cruise Plus package, as illustrated in the schedules below.
