Cruise News: Alaskan Cruise Overbooked; Compensation Offered!
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Princess Cruises is contacting passengers booked on the Royal Princess for the upcoming two week period due to the vessel being overbooked. The ship is currently operating roundtrip itineraries from Seattle that include visits to Glacier Bay. Because these trips are often considered bucket list experiences for travelers, the cruise line has provided a specific compensation package for those willing to change their plans. To receive the offer, passengers must select a different Alaskan cruise later this year. The compensation includes a full refund of the cruise fare provided in the form of shipboard credit. Any unused portion of this credit is refunded to the passenger at the conclusion of their sailing. Additionally, the cruise line is offering up to 600 dollars per passenger to cover costs associated with airfare changes.
