Each Princess cruise offers a set number of amenity points as part of the Travel Agent’s Group Programme. These points can be used to ‘buy’ amenities to customize each agency’s group. The consumer amenities are protected even if the minimum group size is not met. Below is a summary of the available amenities for the 2012-13 Programme, along with their points value.

The number of amenity points available on each cruise can be found in the Programme Release and varies over time. Although amenity points are subject to change at any time, our intention is to reduce them according to the same schedule as the group recall dates (see next page for details). Groups taken out before the first recall date on a voyage will receive up to the initial amount of amenity points shown in the programme releases. After the first recall date, the number of amenity points will be reduced. Groups taken out after the second recall date will not receive amenity points.
All group amenity points that are unassigned after 70 days prior to departure will be forfeited.
