Creator's Key Takeaways

Princess did an excellent job. They immediately refunded the port um all of the excursions for anyone that had anything booked

Absolutely book the Majestic Princess. Don't stay home because it's a different ship.

Overall, things are magnificent here. And I'm really grateful to get to be here.

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description

As we head north aboard Sapphire Princess after our time in Antarctica, we ran into something many cruisers worry about — a missed port call. We were unable to stop in Port Stanley, and that raised an important question: What happens to port fees and taxes when you don’t actually get off the ship? Princess refunded excursions quickly, but port fees and taxes are a different story — and the policy may surprise you. In this video, I walk through: * Why the port was missed * What Princess did (and didn’t) refund * How this policy compares to other cruise lines * And the bigger question: what should happen when plans change? I truly want your thoughts on this one — there’s more than one side to the discussion, and it’s something every cruiser should understand.
