Princess Cruises

For your cruise, Princess recommends no more than two (2) bags per person. Each bag can be no bigger than 140cm x 60cm x 40cm and cannot weigh more than 32kg. It is important to remember that airlines may have different luggage restrictions. In addition to your personal identification tag, please attach a completed Princess Cruises luggage tag which has been included in your pre-cruise documents to each piece of luggage.

You can book your shore excursions through your Cruise Personalizer from approximately 180 days before travel, and up to 5 days before you depart. A Shore Tours Office with a Shore Excursion Manager is also on board each ship, ready to assist you with your port and shore tour related questions and purchases.

You should dress for a cruise with Princess the same way you would for any stylish land based resort. Casual sportswear, including shorts, lightweight pants and jogging suits, is the order of the day both at sea and ashore in hotter climates.

Princess recommends you bring a sweater, a jacket or an all-weather coat for cool evenings, and for shore excursions, depending on your destination. Be sure to bring appropriate clothing for visits to religious sites. You'll also want low-heeled, rubber soled shoes for strolling on deck, as well as comfortable walking shoes or sandals to wear when going ashore.

During the day, casual clothes are suitable. After 5.30pm, smart casual attire is required in the public lounges and restaurants or as published in the ship's newsletter. Guest attire should be in keeping with what they would wear to a nice restaurant at home. For example, skirts/dresses, slacks, and sweaters for ladies and suit pants with dinner jackets for men.

Dinner wear such as pool or beach attire, shorts, ball caps and casual jeans (with fraying and/or holes) are not welcomed in the dining rooms. Shoes must be worn. On formal evenings, Princess suggest gentlemen wear a suit, or jacket and tie, and for ladies an evening or cocktail dress.

Princess Cruises has formal nights on cruises of more than four days. The number of formal nights will depend on the length of your cruise. Cruises up to 14 nights duration usually feature two or three formal nights, cruises up to 28 nights duration usually feature three or four formal nights, while longer cruises feature a minimum of five formal nights.

Cruises of seven nights or more usually also feature theme nights. Outfits are available for purchase onboard, or you are welcome to bring your own. Theme nights vary from cruise to cruise.

On the day of embarkation, guests are permitted to bring one 750ml bottle of wine or champagne onboard per voyage, which will not be subject to a corkage fee if consumed in your stateroom. Additional wine or champagne bottles are welcome, but will incur a $15 corkage fee each, irrespective of where they are intended to be consumed. Liquor, spirits, or beers are not permitted.

Any alcoholic beverages purchased duty free from the ship's gift shop, or at any port of call, will be collected at the gangway for safekeeping and will be delivered to your stateroom on the last day of the cruise.

One of the best things about cruising with Princess is the convenience of being able to charge all your onboard expenses to your stateroom. You will receive your OceanMedallion before you board. The Medallion allows you to make TrulyTouchless™ purchases on board and is linked to your personal shipboard account where all purchases are charged.
