Consumer Terms & Conditions

ELIGIBILITY FOR CELEBRATION GROUP:

Celebration Group pricing and benefits are available only to legal residents from the United States and Canada that book a minimum of five (5) staterooms and a maximum of ninety-nine (99) staterooms, subject to availability, on cruises sailing from three (3) to twenty-four (24) days.

CELEBRATION GROUP REPRESENTATIVE:

Each Celebration Group (“Group) must elect a member of their Group to serve as the Group’s representative with Princess (the “Group Representative”), and each Group member authorizes the Group Representative to make all decisions on behalf of the Group, including dining preferences and arrangements, and how the Group will use benefits awarded to the Group, including points and amenities.

CELEBRATION GROUP PRICING:

Celebration Group gets Princess Plus group fares with drinks, Wi-Fi and crew appreciation included. The Group can also request to change to Princess Saves group fares.

CELEBRATION GROUP POINTS:

Points are automatically applied to the Group contract at time of Group set-up. The number of points earned by the Group vary by voyage and number of days booking occurs in advance of departure. The Group Representative can decide how to apply the points for amenities (subject to availability). Point selections and changes must be made at least 75 days prior to the voyage’s sail date. The minimum of 10 group passengers must sail in order to receive the amenity.

CELEBRATION GROUP TOUR CONDUCTOR CREDITS:

Princess awards one Tour Conductor (TC) credit for every eight staterooms a group books, which can be used on a ninth stateroom. Celebration Group can also use points to buy down the TC ratio to be 1:7, 1:6 or 1:5, which means a Celebration Group could get one Tour Conductor credit for every 7 (1:7), 6 (1:6) or 5 (1:5) staterooms you book. A Celebration Group with a reduced TC ratio can earn a maximum of 12 TC credits.

OTHER BENEFITS:
