Before You Buy
Thinking About Buying? What to Evaluate
We've looked through customer reviews and common questions to pull together a few helpful tips and things to know before you buy.
Weigh the whole package.
Value comes from the combined bundle: Future Cruise Credits, Onboard Credits, Land Stay Certificates, Hotel Savings and more. If one benefit is carrying most of the value for you, compare the numbers carefully and determine whether the overall package still makes sense for your travel plans.
Get the total cost in writing.
Ask for a line-by-line breakdown of the price and any installments, and any additional fees. Some buyers have reported misunderstanding the total purchase price, believing the initial payment represented the full cost. Requesting a written breakdown can help avoid confusion.
Understand cancellation timing.
Most buyers have seven days to cancel from purchase. Florida residents have 30 days, and Washington residents have 15.
Know how you plan to use the benefits.
Think about how soon you'll take another Princess cruise, whether you'll use the certificates and credits, and whether the included benefits fit your travel style.
From travelers
Here's What's Popular Among Satisfied Customers
Future Cruise Credits Adds Meaningful Value
Guests who were already planning to sail with Princess Cruise Lines in the next couple of years found FCCs useful because they could apply it toward travel they already intended to book.
Onboard Credit, Promotional Onboard Benefits, and Booking Flexibility Are Legitimate Perks
These add measurable value on top of the FCCs and are consistently cited as positives in consumer feedback.
Princess Cruise Lines Is a Carnival Corporation Brand, the World's Largest Cruise Company
Your cruise booking goes through one of the most established operators in the industry. Future Cruise Credits are redeemed directly through Princess Cruise Lines.
A Convenient Platform for Cruise-Related Travel
Many guests enjoy having one place to book and manage travel extras that complement their cruise, including hotel stays before and after sailing.
Flexibility When You Love Princess but Aren't Ready to Pick a Sail Date
Another common upside: you can lock in package value when you know you want to sail with Princess within the next couple of years, without having to decide immediately when or where, that flexibility plus cruise and land benefits is a big part of why repeat guests buy in.
Limited-Time Offers While You're Still Onboard Are Legitimate
Some offers are available only during your sailing. Ask what offers remain available after you leave the ship and capture anything time-sensitive in writing.
