URGENT MESSAGE FOR ALL CRUISERS - CRUISE NEWS

Editorial Summary

Dawn provides an urgent warning to passengers participating in her group cruises, specifically those scheduled for September on the Caribbean Princess. She explains a potential risk involving travelers who book airline tickets through Princess Easy Air after they have already paid for their cruise in full. Because travel agents only manage cruise bookings and are not notified when airfare is added, a discrepancy can occur. If the airfare is not paid for, the cruise line may view the entire reservation as unpaid. Dawn notes that this can lead to the cancellation of the entire cruise, even if the original cruise fare was settled. She references previous instances where small unpaid additions, such as bus transfers, resulted in total cruise cancellations. To prevent this, she advises passengers who have booked airfare through the cruise line to contact her or Angelina to confirm payment status or to cancel the airfare if other arrangements have been made. She concludes by advising future cruisers to exercise caution when adding airfare to a cruise booking after the final payment deadline has passed.
