To qualify, guests 1 and 2 on a twin, triple or quad-share booking must both be booked on the applicable Princess Plus or Princess Premier Fare at the time the original cruise booking is made. For an eligible single-occupancy booking, the sole guest must be booked on the applicable Princess Plus or Princess Premier Fare at the time of the original booking.

If the qualifying fare is subsequently downgraded, removed or changed to an ineligible fare, eligibility for the Mastercard Gift Card is forfeited.
The Mastercard Gift Card is provided by Carl Retschlag and is not supplied, sponsored or administered by Princess Cruises or TravelManagers Australia. One Mastercard Gift Card applies per eligible booking.
The lead passenger named on the booking must personally travel on and complete the voyage to receive the Mastercard Gift Card. If the lead passenger cancels, does not travel or is removed from the booking, the promotional Gift Card is forfeited.
If an eligible booking is cancelled before departure, the Mastercard Gift Card is forfeited. Changes to fare type, cabin category, guest numbers, pricing or promotional offers may also affect eligibility and may require the booking to be cancelled and rebooked at the prevailing fare and availability.
Advertised cruise fares are based on Princess Standard Fares unless otherwise stated. Princess Plus and Princess Premier are available at an additional cost, with pricing and inclusions subject to change and confirmed at the time of booking.
