Princess Cruises Offers New Upgrade Program Allowing Cruisers to Bid on Higher Stateroom Categories

Good news has arrived for Princess cruisers who wished they had booked more elevated accommodations.  These cruisers can now “bid up” as part of the cruise line’s newly introduced Princess Upgrade program.

Launching during September 2022 , Princess Upgrade will be a bid-based system, in partnership with PlusGrade.  It will allow guests residing in the U.S. the opportunity to secure a more desirable upgrade – to ocean view, balcony, deluxe balcony, mini-suite and even a full suite.

Upgrades will be available at the outset on five North America-based ships (Caribbean Princess, Discovery Princess, Enchanted Princess, Regal Princess and Ruby Princess), with plans to roll out fleetwide by the end of October 2022.

The Princess Upgrade process is a simple one.  Once the sailing is within the Final Payment period and full payment has been received, guests will receive an invitation to take part in the program and submit a bid, whereupon they can bid on any stateroom category that is above the one they are currently booked in. Guests can change or cancel their bid any time before it is accepted.
