I did not like having to resort to a credit card dispute to get our money back. Fwew. Hopefully, there is still time for me to get JiltedPrincessLuver username! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it was interrupted as it was to end after the date stipulated in Pause 1. We were pleased that Princess offered FCC for the cancellation fees. You are the first to post that is in the same category as me!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi we are in a similar position, our cruise was canceled after 8 days. So we have been arguing the toss on this since 23 March. I would be interested to hear what ABTA have to say I have looked at their website and they are def on the side of their members. I then realised we dont have an ABTA certificate - asit is a package it is ATOL. Having said that the TA is ABTA bonded but there is an odd statement something like If you do not receive any part of your package you can claim a full refund. I can read that a couple of ways 1. If you dont get to leave on the holiday for some reason and you dont get ANY of the holiday you can claim a FULL refund ( fair enough) or 2 If you dont get ANY PART ( in my mind a. the flight, or b the transfers, or c the the hotel or D can claim aFULL Refund . (Doubtful) But it doesnt say what happens if you do just miss some part of your holiday. They have an arbitration company but if you lose you have to pay double. Another idea I had was to run it through Citizens advice but they are closed I think. and maybe the arbitration attached to Martin Lewises setup. I find it nigh well impossible to even contact Princess - whilst US pax have a toll free number and online chat we have neither! and ABTA have told them they have 56 DAYS to answer emails.

r/f Posted May 25, 2020 #2729 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Good news! We finally got a full refund from our March 21 cancelled cruise. We had not contacted Princess or our credit card , just waited it out, hoping Princess would follow through on their promise. This has given me confidence in Princess and ready to start cruising again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queenslander Posted May 25, 2020 #2732 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I just received the deposits for two cabins I booked for the April 8th Golden Princess cruise but not the balance which was on a different card. Hopefully I will get that soon as it should have been processed at the same time. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gelerp Posted May 25, 2020 #2735 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Still nothing showing up on our FCC or refund for pre paid gratuities. Cruise date was March 18th. I have no trouble waiting but would like an update. I think it is time to call them. Anyone else from a March date still waiting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were scheduled for the March 26th Crown Princess transatlantic cruise. We selected Option 2 on March 13th and are still waiting for our money to be returned to our credit card for our cruise, taxes and fees, and EZ Air fare from Barcelona to Miami. We are lucky that we live near Ft. Lauderdale so we only needed one way air fare. We received our FCC on April 21st for 50% of the price of the cruise. We went to file a dispute with our Costco Citibank credit card but was told since we made our initial deposit in July we were still covered by their trip cancellation insurance that Citibank discontinued in September. We filed a claim with them and have submitted all of the paperwork they asked for and are still awaiting our refund. We are very disappointed with Princess and the way they have handled this. If we use our FCCs it will be on a last minute cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale to the Caribbean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The subject line should be as such: (There might be a few different variations, but that's the one you get from submitting the form in March.) Edit: Sorry, misread the original post-- that's what you get for filling out the form and selection Option 2. Not sure if you get the same response for Option 1.

Aulanis Posted May 26, 2020 #2744 Share Posted May 26, 2020 @Gelerp Your answer may lie within this- may depend on whether you cancelled or whether PC cancelled? https://www.princess.com/downloads/pdf/plan/impacted-and-cancelled-cruises/voluntary-60-day-pause-of-global-ship-operations-details-faq.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe d Posted May 26, 2020 #2745 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Update on my refunds. I had two cruises (B2B), one on April 18 and one on April 25. I cancelled both late on the evening March 11 (great timing on my part). I resubmitted both the next day under the March 12 Pause. I rec’d an e-mail on the April 25 cruise on May 5 offering me additional FCC if I switched to Option 1 (I did not). I had to May 31 to accept this offer and I suspect that is why I have not seen anything else on this cruise. As I had not rec’d the same e-mail on the other cruise I called Princess on May 7 and was told I should be getting a refund on it in a couple of weeks. I rec’d a cancellation notice on May 18 and my FCD’s about the same time. Today, I noticed a full refund on my credit card. The refund was dated May 21 but I don’t think it has been there that long. Still missing the FCC’s but I am not sure I will ever be able to use them. Hope this helps anyone in similar circumstances. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfuego4cruising Posted May 26, 2020 #2746 Share Posted May 26, 2020 My refund was posted to my credit card account this morning. I was refunded my base fare, port fees & taxes, PVP, and prepaid shore excursions. I am still owed for my now expired FCD's and for a prepaid specialty dinner reservation. On March 12th, I chose refund option 2 for a scheduled March 15th Panama Canal sailing on the Emerald. My 100% FCC posted to my Captain's Circle account back on April 9th. I had not filed a credit card dispute, although I was considering doing so in the next week or two. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was all refunded to Visa. Now I can delete the screenshots of those gift cards (as soon as I find out which ones they are 🙄) Added: when my Majestic Princess cruise was canceled I had to put all GCs on https://wbiprod.storedvalue.com/WBI/lookupservlet?language=en to find the refund. Never got an email but it was there. are you still waiting for more refunds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
