Princess Cruises has made even MORE changes affecting cruises in 2026 and 2027 — including higher onboard fees, increased Crew Appreciation, a new 20% service charge, higher Medallion shipping costs and major new booking and cancellation rules for 2027 sailings. In this video, we break down the latest Princess Cruises 2026 and 2027 changes and explain what they could mean for your next Princess cruise. We’ll cover: • New Princess Cruises Crew Appreciation / gratuity rates • Princess onboard service charge increase from 18% to 20% • New Princess Medallion shipping fees in the U.S. and Canada • Current Princess specialty dining prices • Princess Plus and Princess Premier changes for 2026 • Princess Plus beverage package rules and drink limits • New Princess Cruises deposit requirements for 2027 bookings • The new 120-day final payment deadline • New Princess cancellation penalties for 2027 cruises • How the changes affect Princess Standard, Plus and Premier guests These changes are especially important if you’re planning a cruise aboard Star Princess, Sun Princess, Discovery Princess, Enchanted Princess, Sky Princess, Regal Princess, Royal Princess, Caribbean Princess or another ship in the Princess Cruises fleet. We’ll also look at how the newest 2026 and 2027 changes connect with Princess Cruises policy changes announced in late 2025, including non-refundable deposits, Princess Vacation Protection changes and the end of the Princess Best Price Guarantee. If you’re researching a Princess Cruises vacation in 2026 or 2027, trying to decide between Princess Standard vs Princess Plus vs Princess Premier, or planning a cruise aboard Star Princess or Sun Princess, these are the changes you need to know before you book. What do you think about the latest Princess Cruises price increases and policy changes? Are Princess Plus and Premier still worth it, or are Princess cruises becoming too expensive?
