Princess Cruises

Princess Cruises operates in US dollars onboard, with all purchases charged through the MedallionClass cashless system. Guests set up a debit or credit card before departure for Express Check-Out. After completing the OceanReady check-in process via the MedallionClass app, you'll receive a QR code for boarding and can print luggage tags in advance. Most ships use US 110V sockets, so an adaptor is required. Princess Cruises also offers accessible staterooms, onboard medical centres with 24-hour doctors and nurses, laundry services (some complimentary for suites and loyalty members), and the Captain's Circle loyalty programme, which remains available when booking through Destination2Cruise.

Princess Cruises includes a wide range of entertainment in your fare, such as stage productions, live music, magic shows, opera performances, comedians, interactive game shows like Deal or No Deal, and outdoor cinema screenings. The dress code is smart casual for most evenings, with formal nights introduced on voyages of five days or more, requiring tuxedos or dark suits for men and evening gowns or formal wear for women. Smoking is only permitted in designated onboard areas, and gratuities are either included via packages like Princess Plus or charged daily depending on your fare. Wi-Fi (MedallionNet) is available for purchase, with discounts for loyalty members.

Princess Cruises caters for a wide range of dietary requirements including low-fat, low-sugar, vegetarian and kosher meals when requested in advance. Guests may bring one bottle of wine or champagne per person onboard, though additional bottles incur corkage fees, and spirits or beer are not permitted. The minimum drinking age varies by itinerary (18 or 21 depending on region). Complimentary tea and coffee are available at afternoon tea and the 24-hour International Café, while room service is available for a fee unless included in Princess Plus or Premier packages. The International Café also offers 24-hour dining with snacks and beverages.
