SANTA CLARITA, Calif.,
Dec. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Princess Cruises today announced its Shore Excursions Best
Price Guarantee is available on thousands of the award-winning
tours in ports the cruise line visits worldwide. Today the program
launches fleetwide and guarantees if guests find the same shore
excursion elsewhere at a lower price, they will receive 110 percent
of the difference in the form of non-refundable onboard credit.
"Our new Best Price Guarantee on shore excursions gives guests
satisfaction that they are receiving competitive and fair pricing
while enjoying an exceptional experience ashore," said Bruce Krumrine, vice president of shore
excursions for Princess Cruises. "We find our guests rate their
overall cruise vacation experience higher when they take our shore
excursions because we handle every detail for them so they can
easily explore the world and take home lifelong memories of the
places they visit."
The new Best Price Guarantee is being announced to Princess
guests through pre-cruise e-mails and on Princess.com and is
available to guests who book their excursions with Princess
pre-cruise. If guests find an equivalent shore excursion at a lower
price, the request can be submitted at least seven days prior to
the sailing date to shoreexcursions@princesscruises.com for review
by the Shore Excursion customer service team. Within two business
days, guests will be notified if their request meets the Best Price
Guarantee criteria. If it does, 110 percent of the price difference
will be applied in the form of a non-refundable onboard credit.
The Best Price Guarantee only applies to shore excursions that
are advertised with pricing and publicly available. It applies to
all shore excursions, with the exception of Asia, Southeast
Asia and Japan ports, and
excludes private vehicle and driver excursions in ports
worldwide.

Excursions" by Global Traveler Magazine and "Best Cruise
