Princess Cruises Extends Best Price Guarantee Offer

Princess Cruises figures, why mess with a good thing? After a successful launch earlier this summer, Princess Cruises is extending its “Better than Best” Price Guarantee offer through December 15, 2025.

How does Better Than Best Price Guarantee work?

Book any Princess cruise and if you find a lower fare on your Princess cruise prior to your final payment with the same identical details, simply fill out the claim form.

**The identical fare must consist of the same ship as the Original Booking, the same sail dates, the same stateroom category, the same number of guests, and the same cruise fare type. 

When you submit the claim form, we will verify it, and once it is confirmed, we’ll match the difference. 

If the two offers fail to match these categories, your claim may not be eligible for reward. See the terms and conditions below for more specifications on making your claim. 

What you get: In the (unlikely) event that you find such an offer, you will receive 120% of the difference in the form of onboard credit to maximize your vacation experience – A 10% higher compensation rate than any other cruise line.

Once your Princess cruise is booked for 2025, 2026 0r 2027 at the best price, all that’s left is anticipation for your exciting voyage. We will see you onboard!

With the Princess “Better Than Best Price Guarantee” offer, guests are assured that if they find a better fare for the same Princess cruise, stateroom category, and sail date at any time before their final payment, Princess will honor the lower rate and provide 120 percent of the difference in the form of an onboard credit.

“Now is the best time to secure preferred itineraries to spectacular destinations in the accommodations you prefer – from balconies, suites and more – all at the best pricing,” said Terry Thornton, Princess Cruises chief commercial officer. “Plus, our exclusive guarantee covers the extended period from the initial booking all the way to final payment – a perk not always offered by other cruise lines.”

The offer is available on 17 Princess ships in 2025. The itineraries on the Love Boat include more than 330 destinations, 90 countries and all seven continents.

So take your pick.

Princess also recently added Starlink WiFi service to its voyages.
