Creator's Key Takeaways

Princess's new non-refundable refundable policy is now in effect and I'm going to let you know what I have seen about it so far.

A future cruise credit and a future cruise deposit are two very different things. They are not the same thing.

In my mind, it should not change the way that you book a cruise.

I think it's really important whether um no matter when your final payment is due that you have insurance.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Watch the creator's previous videos on Princess deposit changes and future cruise deposits for more information.
βœ“Consider booking cruises early, especially for popular itineraries, as prices are often best when first released.
βœ“Ensure you have travel insurance regardless of when your final payment is due.
