Dear guests and partners,
CRUISE CANCELLED BY GUEST
• If you, your family members living with you in the same household or traveling companions assigned to the same stateroom, cancel a cruise booking due to testing positive for COVID-19 within 7 days of embarkation, you and those traveling companions assigned to the same stateroom are entitled to an FCC for the amount paid to Princess. To qualify for the FCC, you are required to notify Princess within 24 hours of receiving a positive COVID-19 test result. Guests may be required to provide proof of a positive test prior to building a FCC.
• Any close contacts of a confirmed COVID-19 case (those in the same household or traveling companions assigned to the same stateroom) may travel if they are asymptomatic on embarkation day, test negative to an antigen test at embarkation and agree to additional testing up to 5 days from last exposure. Close contacts with a document of recovery are exempt from testing.
