Creator's Key Takeaways

I've put in a complaint to Princess because since they changed to the non-refundable deposit, they've also changed the confirmations they send out to guests and agents.

It's very frustrating. And I imagine even yourself if you go online and you book it and you book the Princess Plus package and then you look at your confirmation, it doesn't say Princess Plus, you're going to be saying, 'What the heck?'

In big red letters on the new confirmation, it says all deposits are nonrefundable unless otherwise stated. But then when you have a non-refundable deposit, it doesn't state it right there.

I'm putting this out there because so many people are confused and I completely understand the confusion and that's why I've sent a letter into my business development manager with Princess saying, 'Hey, they've got to fix this.'

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Check the cancellation schedule on your confirmation to determine if your deposit is refundable.
โœ“Look for a $200 penalty date to identify a non-refundable deposit.
โœ“Verify your Princess Plus package is listed on the confirmation, as it may not appear.

Confusion about deposit refundability โ€” Check the penalty schedule; a 25% penalty after final payment indicates a refundable deposit.
Uncertainty about package inclusions โ€” Contact your agent or Princess directly to confirm Princess Plus is applied.
