To reflect the suggested dress code, dinner wear such as pool or beach attire, gym shorts, ball caps and casual jeans (with fraying and/or holes), is not welcomed in the dining rooms.
There are no baggage limits with Princess, so you can arrive on embarkation day with as many suitcases as you need. Do be aware that when you first board the ship, your suitcases will be loaded on separately and delivered to your stateroom later that day.
Level up your perks after completing 5 cruises or 50 cruise days with Princess. In addition to all of the benefits at the Gold and Ruby levels, enjoy priority boarding in the cruise terminal, so you can experience your MedallionClass® vacation even quicker.
Your Boarding Pass and Luggage tags will be available to print immediately after you have completed your Guest Registration (Check-in). Bring your Boarding pass & all other required documents to the pier.
All U.S. guests receive their free Medallion device either in the mail before leaving home or when they arrive at the terminal. International guests can pick up their Medallion device at the port. This quarter-sized device can be worn several ways.
A small quantity is considered a maximum of 12 sealed, unopened cans/cartons of 12 ounces each or less per person. Guests will be asked to discard open beverages in plastic containers prior to boarding.
Yep.That size of suitcase will fit through the scanners so you can definitely take them aboard yourselves as long as you can do so without assistance. As for disembarkation, as long as you can handle the luggage without assistance you can select "walk off" disembarkation and schlep your own luggage off the ship.
Having your luggage sent to your room is not required. If you'd rather keep it with you, that is an option. However, your stateroom is generally unavailable for several hours after boarding, so you'll need to carry your luggage around on the ship — and that can be highly inconvenient.
Boarding begins around 10:30 or 11am. Believe your cruise probably sails at 3pm. The cruise line is required to submit a passenger manifest to the authorities 60 minutes before they sail. You must be checked in before that time.
Green Lane – Guests who have completed all steps of the Travel Checklist in Ocean Ready via the Princess MedallionClass app or the web-based OceanReady at Princess.com ❯, and chose to have their Medallion(s) shipped to them (U.S. and Puerto Rico only). With Green Lane, guests enjoy the most streamlined embarkation.
No, once on board you can download and use the Princess Cruises app and all digital experiences for free. But we suggest you download the app prior to boarding to enjoy seamless boarding with OceanReady. What if I have trouble signing in or connecting to MedallionNet Wi-Fi?
Get OceanReady® while you're still at home by downloading the Princess® Cruises App from the App Store or Google Play Store. Choose your desired arrival time slot so not all guests are trying to board at the same time.
