darknightsdespiser Posted May 19, 2020 #1 Share Posted May 19, 2020 So, the agents are working from home and they are very busy; if I was doing my job from home and was very busy my Manager/Supervisor would still expect progress reports. This is why I don't understand why they can't publish how far they are - it would shut a lot of us up if we just KNEW! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzsnooze Posted May 19, 2020 #2 Share Posted May 19, 2020 That's why so many of us have started a dispute on our credit cards. If the refunds aren't started until after the sail date I'd be waiting well into 2022, not acceptable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karylrocks Posted May 19, 2020 #3 Share Posted May 19, 2020 People with sail dates back to March have not received refunds - it appears that they have not processed any at all since they announced the pause. I believe that there is another reason that refunds have not been processed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sail date was March 17th. I do not know what hers was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzure Posted May 19, 2020 #5 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Hello - I had booked my first ever Princess Cruise (Alaska, May 23rd) last December. Princess canceled the cruise, of course, and sent me a refund request receipt on April 14th. I had booked through Costco travel and they, likewise, sent me a cancellation confirmation on April 17th. I haven't done anything more, except this morning I called Costco Travel and the recorded message said refunds may take up to 90 days. Cruise was paid for with Costco Citi card. Should I do anything else, or just be patient? Does the 90 days start the date of the canceled cruise, or the date of the cancellation itself? Thanks.

Ereggae Posted May 19, 2020 #6 Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) I submitted my refund request March 12th and still waiting for my refund. The Future Cruise Credit showed up on my account three weeks ago. The refund process is too lengthy for my liking so I will not be booking any cruises in the near future with Princess or any other cruise line.

I have seen all of one post that said that their CC declined their dispute, but they did not provide a lot of information. A dispute can be declined if 1. The person submitting the disute does not submit information in a timely manner 2. If they do not provide documentation supporting their case 2. If they are disputing counter to the booking terms and conditions A fairly large number of posted that they have filed, I being one, and have had their dispute successfully resolved. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cruise was a B2B on the Coral Princess leaving 5/20/2020. Princess cancelled my cruise and my TA (same as your travel company) sent in the paperwork on 4/17/2020. I opted for #1 and still waiting like the rest of the others on this board. When I cancelled my TA told me it would be around 90 days for reimbursement. I have also heard that Princess is working on refunds in date order of cruise. Everyone's case and needs are different. For now, I will wait and be patient. Hopefully, Princess will not try my patience with with an extensive overdue of repayment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you paid for a cruise that Princess cancelled by a credit card you should contact customer service of that Costco Citi Card and request a charge back for the amount that you paid.

Aus Traveller Posted May 19, 2020 #13 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Last week my TA contacted me and said my refund from Princess was available for a 2nd July cruise. I elected to leave it with Princess because I had booked using a FCD. The refund would have been AUD$100, but by converting it to a FDD, it grew considerably. A gamble - but the odds are good. I have the impression that refunds are not being done chronologically. My 2nd July one was ready to be finalised, but my 7th April one was not ready yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italy52 Posted May 20, 2020 #22 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Update, I just called Princess to check on the status of my refund for my 5/20/2020 Princess-cancelled cruise. My TA cancelled the cruise with Princess on 4/17/2020. I was told that my Option 1 refund had not been processed and he did not know the status other than that. He did say that the refunds were being processed in the order of sailing date --- which I know is not the case due to what I have read on the boards --- I am sure he is just saying what he has been told to say. Just wanted to pass this info along to the original poster since our cruise dates were very close to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realize that some have thousands or tens of thousands of dollars of skin in this game. Just because you only have a few deposits and it doesn't mean much to you doesn't mean it doesn't mean much to others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgd3rdbcfd Posted May 20, 2020 #24 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Just looked at my Circle Saving account and found that a FCD used for Sky on 4/11 has been posted back into my account. Hope that means they are processing the refund. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
