Apologies we may have gotten a little off track here. On reflection I should have said in my original post that I wasn't trying to discuss or explain why Kiwis/Aussies may be getting worse deals - it was to inform them that they are.

Ldtr - Please note this cruise is in South East Asia not the US, NZ or Australia Trintygirl - i can confirm for this cruise Princess Plus does include less for kiwis/aussies, exactly as you mentioned thanks

Diamond Princess Jan 5 2024 cruise Fare is the same but... Cancellation US 100% refund until Oct 7 (3 months before sailing) AU/NZ 100% refund only until Jul 8 (6 months before sailing!!!) Current "free OBC" offer US interior/oceanview $150USD pp, balcony and above $300USD pp AU/NZ interior/oceanview $33USD ($50AUD) pp, balcony and above $67USD ($100AUD) pp

Sorry to hear the currency went in the wrong direction for you! That actual opens another cancel and rebook opportunity that I hadn't thought of if your currency strengthens against the U.S. dollar

Hi cruisers. Princess's cancellation policy, from their website, offers 100% refundable or 100% refundable - $100 deposits until close-ish to departure. Could anybody who's recently cancelled and rebooked to take advantage of fare drops share their experience on how easy (or otherwise) that was please? And did they refund quickly to your credit card? I don't want OBCs 🙂 Of course I would check that a cabin number we wanted was still available before cancelling thanks!

Looks like she has 16d between Singapore cruises in Jan, could that be her next dry dock? Curious what might be planned 🙂 5th Jan 14d cruise followed by a 6 Feb cruise
