Princess Cruise Line has a cancellation policy that varies based on the type of fare selected and how far in advance the cancellation is made. For most standard fares, if a guest cancels their reservation, the penalties increase as the departure date approaches. Generally, if a cancellation occurs more than 75 days before departure, the guest can receive a full refund, minus any deposits made. If the cancellation is made between 74 and 57 days prior to sailing, there is typically a penalty of the deposit amount. For cancellations made between 56 and 30 days before the cruise, guests may be subject to losing 50 percent of the cruise fare. If the cancellation occurs within 29 days of departure, the policy can lead to forfeiting the entire fare.
For Princess Plus and Princess Premier bookings, the policy may differ and could include additional considerations such as the cancellation of excursions or pre-purchased plans. To ensure that one has the most accurate and updated information regarding the cancellation policy, it is advisable to review the relevant section on Princess Cruise Line's official website.
