Princess postponed full payment due date by 1 month

[PRNole47]

Not sure when they did this because I hadn't been to their website in a few days but PCL just put off my payment due date from this Sunday 7/11 to 8/10/21 for my October 9 cruise.  Good, because I was just going to email my TA and ask that unless PCL was guaranteeing they would sail out of San Pedro on Oct 9, I was going to cancel the cruise before my due date this Sunday so I would only have to chase them for the deposit refund and not the entire cruise payment.

My March 2022 cruise payment is due December 2021 and it still is. No extension there

Not yet.  So far the policy says that it's only for dates through October cruises.  https://www.princess.com/plan/cruise-with-confidence/cancellation-final-payment-policy/

It's been their policy for a long time for final payment only  60 days before it wasn't an extension

My Dec 4 cruise final payment date is still the original Sep 5. No change there. Only change was my Oct 9 cruise final payment date as noted above.

Sorry to disagree....but I have been 'thinking' about a California coastal in October.

I have been watching how it fills -- or not -- 

Prior to today, the final payment date was July 25th, so I was hoping there might be a price decrease.

As of today, it changed to August 25th.

IF people booked early, they may have had 60  days, but if you hadn't booked before a couple of months ago, the final payment date was in July.

Thanks for the heads up!!  We are on B2B on 10/6 & 10/9 and I was getting ready to make final payment.  Interesting that Princess did not let us know the FP date was pushed out. 
 

Really hoping these cruises go - when will California commit to opening the ports?

We just received an email this week telling us if we didn’t make our final payment in July, our cruise would be cancelled… and now given this I just double checked the booking and yep, payment pushed out to August! I’ll be waiting to pay for sure! Spa reservations are still not available for this cruise. Makes me wonder if they still think it may not happen. We can’t book our arrival group either.
