Extending the Book with Confidence policy...

[bobloblaw007]

So right now it expires Sept. 30. Based on the past, does anyone have an idea on when it may be extended (like 60 days before or ?). 

I know it's been extended repeatedly for over a year, but not sure about the timing of the extensions. Perhaps someone here follows it closely 🙂

Holland America already extended their version of it until the end of the year.

what does 'book with confidence' cover that the Princess insurance (AON) doesn't cover?

Not sure, but "Book with Confidence" is free, insurance is not.

If you use the book with confidence policy, you actually get the insurance premium back.

Book with Confidence is returned as FCC. I think the cut off might be 30 days.  And yes, it will maintain. your PVP.

I believe the Princess Platinum insurance give you FCCs too, unless you have a "covered" reason to cancel.

Does the FCC from cancel with insurance have an expiration date?  FCC from Book with Confidence is a year from issuance.

I just closed a claim with PVP and got a refund minus the insurance (cancelled for any reason).  My sister vowed she would NEVER cruise with Princess and an FCC was worthless to her.  PVP covered my single solo supplement.

But if you have Covid, you can cancel for FCCs within the 30 days.

We sail on October 9, so I wish they WOULD extend it.  Seems like they should go until the end of the year.

I feel like the Cruise with Confidence/Book with Confidence policy should be extended as long as you can be denied boarding/put into quarantine for testing positive. Otherwise, you'd have all of the downside w/ none of the upside.

Ours did not have a year expirations date on all of them. Our cancelled cruise was partially paid with FCCs but also gift cards, and cash.  
The part of the fare that we used from the Coral covid cruise came back with the same expiration date as it had previously....12/31/22.
The other refunds do have a year expiration date from the day I cancelled.  But it took 2 months at least to get them all back.

I used cancel with confidence- use by date was extended from December 31/22 to September 30/23. I cancelled in March 22.
