princess cruise visa requirements

Passport books are required for all travelers, including citizens of the U.S. and Canada, who enter or re-enter the U.S. by air, land or sea .

There are a few notable exceptions pertaining to land and sea border crossings:

  • U.S. citizens on cruises that begin and end in the same U.S. port and travel to destinations in Mexico, Canada, the Caribbean, the Bahamas or Bermuda are able to re-enter the U.S. with proof of citizenship other than a passport or passport card. Acceptable proof of citizenship includes a U.S. state-issued original or certified copy of their birth certificate (hospital certificates are not acceptable) or a Consular Report of Birth Abroad, or a Certificate of Naturalization and a government-issued photo ID (such as a driver's license). Passports are required for cruises that begin in one U.S. port and end in another.

A valid passport book is required  for all international Princess itineraries including:

  • Australia & New Zealand
  • Central and South America
  • Panama Canal (partial and full transit)
  • Caribbean (any sailings that visit Martinique or Guadeloupe)
  • South Pacific & Tahiti
  • World Cruises

On select U.S. roundtrip (sometimes called “closed-loop”) voyages, U.S. citizens ages 16 and above may also travel with an original or certified copy U.S. birth certificate (or U.S. Certificate of Naturalization if foreign born) presented together with a valid U.S. government-issued photo identification. U.S. and Canadian citizens ages 15 and younger may travel with a birth certificate.

  • Alaska roundtrip from San Francisco, Los Angeles or Seattle (roundtrip Seattle cruisetours excluded)
  • Canada/New England roundtrip from New York
  • Caribbean roundtrip from Ft. Lauderdale^, Galveston^ or New York (voyages that do  not  call to Martinque or Guadeloupe only)
  • Hawaii roundtrip from Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, or Seattle
  • Mexico roundtrip from Los Angeles, San Francisco or San Diego

^Voyages that call to Central or South America are excluded and only passports are accepted. All voyages that call to Martinique or Guadeloupe require a passport.

  • When minors are traveling with only one adult, Princess requires that all passengers have a valid passport.  
  • A new, lower-cost alternative to the passport, called a passport card, is acceptable for entries into the U.S. by land or sea from Bermuda, Canada, the Caribbean, Hawaii, Mexico or within the United States. The passport card is not acceptable for air travel.

Photocopies of required documentation are not acceptable in any circumstance.

Even though passports are not required at this time for U.S. citizens who sail on cruises to the above destinations that begin and end in the same U.S. port, we strongly recommend that all cruise passengers travel with a valid passport anyway. This is because guests who need to fly to or from the U.S. unexpectedly during their cruise will likely experience significant delays and complications related to booking airline tickets and entering the U.S. if they do not have a valid passport with them. For example, a passenger missing a cruise departure due to a late inbound flight to Miami would need a passport to fly to meet the ship at the next port. Similarly, guests needing to fly to or through the U.S. before their cruise ends because of medical, family, personal or business emergencies, missing a ship's departure from a port of call, or a mechanical problem of some sort with the ship, would need a passport. Of course, situations like these are rare, but they can happen.

Passports are not required for U.S. citizens traveling to or returning directly from Hawaii or a U.S. territory, including Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Swains Island, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.

Passports are required for cruise travel to all International destinations not mentioned above, and for cruises that involve air travel that begins or ends outside of the U.S. Passports must be valid for at least six months after the last day of travel.

Vacations To Go has partnered with CIBT, the largest and most well-established travel visa and passport company in the world, to offer you a fast, easy and reliable way to obtain a passport or other document for travel anywhere in the world. For information about obtaining a passport or passport card for the first time, or about renewing a passport or passport card, click here to visit the CIBT Web site.

Legal U.S. Residents (Non-Citizens)

Legal permanent residents of the U.S. must have a valid passport from their country of citizenship and a valid Alien Registration Card (Green Card) to enter or re-enter the U.S.

Non-U.S., Non-Canada Citizens

The following countries participate in a visa waiver program with the U.S., and citizens of these countries must have a machine-readable passport for entry into the U.S.:

Andorra, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brunei, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, San Marino, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom

Citizens of the countries listed above who do not possess machine-readable passports, and citizens of countries not listed above must present a valid passport and a valid United States visa upon entry into the U.S. For those whose travel plans include multiple entries into the U.S., such as a cruise that begins and ends in a U.S. port, a multiple-entry visa is required.

All travelers, including U.S. and Canada citizens , are responsible for verifying visa requirements with consular officials, and obtaining visas where required, for every country visited during their trip, including countries visited via connecting flights.

Always check with your Vacations To Go cruise counselor at the time of booking to verify the documentation requirements for your vacation.

Visa Requirements

By PigBoy , June 14, 2016 in Princess Cruises

Cool Cruiser

Ok, now I'm confused. DW and I are booked on Med cruise on the Royal this September. We are both US passport holders. Today I get an email advising us of visa requirements and multiple entry visa requirements for Schengen and non Schengen countries. I didn't think any visa requirements applied to US passport holders, but the wording in the email was a bit confusing. My question is, do we need to be concerned about visas or not? Since we're less than 90 days until sail away, if visas are necessary I need to get busy policing them up.

Thanks, Don

For the Med, your US passport is good, no visas required. Enjoy your cruise, the Med is awesome!

Hope this link will help https://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/go/schengen-fact-sheet.html

You say the area you would be visiting would be the Med. OK a lot of the countries would be covered by schengen but if you are going to say Turkey or Israel then use your search engine to check it out. Enjoy.:)

paul929207

We have never had to get a visa for the Med. Our US passports were all we needed

10,000+ Club

Read the information carefully again. I think you will find that no visas are required for U.S. Passport holders.

Just finished 21days on the Med including turkey, you do not need a visa except to charge your purchases. Oh that's a different kind of Visa. LOL.

When we cruised in the Med, we were not responsible for any visas. Princess took care of getting short term visas for Turkey, maybe Egypt as well. We were given a 'ticket stub' that we had to keep in our possession (could have been asked to produce it at any time), and then turn back in when we returned to the ship. Extremely easy.

We got the same email. As noted earlier by sknight this does not apply to US passport holders. See bolded part below:

As a reminder, you will be visiting countries which are member of the Schengen Agreement. Schengen Agreement countries require passport holders from various countries to obtain a visa in advance. This requirement does not apply to Australian, Canadian, New Zealand, UK, or U.S. passport holders. A multiple entry visa will be required if a non-Schengen country is visited between visits to Schengen countries (Example: depart from Italy, visit Turkey, arrive in Greece). Schengen Agreement countries include: Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Malta, Norway, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.

Thanks all! I appreciate your responses!

There isn’t much reason to get this clunker of a card, as a general travel rewards card will give you significantly more benefits. 

Princess Cruises® Rewards Visa® Card * The information for the Princess Cruises® Rewards Visa® Card has been collected independently by Blueprint. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer. basics

  • Annual fee: $0.
  • Welcome bonus: 10,000 points after spending $500 on purchases within the first 90 days of account opening.

  • Foreign transaction fee: 0% of each transaction in U.S. dollars.

About the Princess Cruises Card

If you’re considering the Princess Cruises® Rewards Visa® Card * The information for the Princess Cruises® Rewards Visa® Card has been collected independently by Blueprint. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer. know that even frequent Princess Cruisers are better off with a different credit card. Consider the rewards rate: 2 points per $1 spent on all Princess Cruises purchases including onboard purchases and 1 point per $1 spent on all other purchases. That’s pretty skimpy, even for a no-annual-fee card but redemptions aren’t much better. You can only cash in your rewards for statement credits for purchases you’ve already made, and the redemption system is so knotty even an experienced rewards maximizer will likely find it’s not worth the effort.

There is a welcome offer and an intro APR offer, but even those are not enticing. The welcome offer allows you to earn 10,000 points after spending $500 on purchases within the first 90 days of account opening. There’s a 0% intro APR on balance transfers for the first 15 billing cycles following each balance transfer that posts within 45 days of account opening. After, a 20.24%, 26.24%, or 30.24% variable APR will apply on both purchases and balance transfers. A balance transfer fee of either $5 or 5% of the amount of each transfer, whichever is greater, applies. 

Apart from that, there aren’t many perks that cruisers will find valuable with the Princess Cruises Rewards Visa. The best travel rewards cards will give you a higher earn rate, redemption rate, comprehensive insurance coverage and other benefits you will appreciate.

  • No annual fee or foreign transaction fees: More of your budget can go toward cruising when you don’t tack on an annual fee or foreign transaction fees . 
  • Low intro APR offer on balance transfers : If you wish to make a balance transfer, you can take advantage of the card’s low intro APR offer, which can help you reduce your debt. 
  • Flexible redemptions : You can redeem your rewards as statement credits for qualifying airfare or for multiple cruise lines, not just Princess Cruises. 
  • No cruise-specific perks: There are no Princess Cruises benefits with this card. Most cobranded credit cards offer some perks within the brand.
  • Complex redemption structure : If you want to maximize the value of your rewards, you will have to do a lot of calculating, as value depends on the amount of statement credits you wish to redeem. 
  • Intro APR only extends to balance transfers : There’s no intro APR offer on purchases, which means you can’t use this card to finance your cruise. 
  • Low rewards rate : You can easily earn more rewards with a different card. 

Princess Cruises Card rewards

The current welcome offer allows you to earn 10,000 points after spending $500 on purchases within the first 90 days of account opening.

Using government data and other publicly available information, we estimate that a household in the U.S. that would be in the market for this card has around $25,087 in annual expenses that can be charged to a credit card. Here’s how our sample household’s rewards could break down:

The cardholder in this example earns a grand total of 25,972 rewards points annually, which is worth $259.72 if redeemed as a statement credit toward Princess Cruises or other eligible purchases. 

The most confusing part of the Princess Cruises Card is redeeming your rewards. You can redeem your rewards for statement credits, onboard amenities, gift cards, merchandise or on travel. Redemptions start at 3,300 points for $25. If you are redeeming your rewards for statement credits for purchases from airlines or from World’s Leading Cruise Line brands, your valuation is 1%. 

If you wish to use your rewards on statement credits toward Princess Cruises purchases within the last 180 days, the valuation you receive will depend on the amount you want to redeem:

  • $50 to $499.99 will have a redemption value of 1%.
  • $500 to $2,000 will have a redemption value of 1.25%.
  • $2,001 to $4,000 will have a redemption value of 1.50%.
  • $4,001 and up will have a redemption value of 2.00%.

Reward redemptions for statement credits start at 5,000 points for $50. The confusing redemption structure and the low point valuation alone are potential reasons to look elsewhere for a credit card. 

How the Princess Cruises Rewards Visa Card compares to other travel credit cards 

Princess cruises rewards visa card vs. chase sapphire preferred® card.

The Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card is one of the top travel credit cards on the market, and for good reason. For a $95 annual fee, cardholders earn 5 points per $1 on travel purchased through Chase Travel℠, 3 points per $1 on dining, select streaming services, and online grocery purchases (excluding Walmart, Target and wholesale clubs), 2 points per $1 on all other travel purchases and 1 point per $1 on all other purchases. These points can be redeemed on travel purchases booked via the Chase Travel℠ portal for 1.25 cents per point or transferred to several travel partners for a better valuation.

The Chase Sapphire Preferred also comes with an up to $50 statement credit each account anniversary year towards hotel stays booked through Chase Travel, an anniversary points bonus equal to 10% of your total purchases made the previous year, a suite of travel protections and insurances and a far more straightforward – and valuable – rewards structure.

Wondering if the Chase Sapphire Preferred is worth the annual fee? Here’s how to get maximum value from the card’s benefits.

Princess Cruises Rewards Visa Card vs. Capital One SavorOne Cash Rewards Credit Card * The information for the Capital One SavorOne Cash Rewards Credit Card has been collected independently by Blueprint. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.

If you don’t want to pay an annual fee, the Capital One SavorOne Cash Rewards Credit Card * The information for the Capital One SavorOne Cash Rewards Credit Card has been collected independently by Blueprint. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer. might be a better alternative. Cardholders earn an unlimited 3% cash back on dining, entertainment, popular streaming services and grocery stores (excluding superstores like Walmart and Target), 5% cash back on hotels and rental cars booked through Capital One Travel, 8% cash back on Capital One Entertainment purchases and 1% on all other purchases. Earning cash back on these expenses is likely to yield better returns than what you’d get with the Princess Cruises Card and you aren’t limited to only redeeming your rewards as a statement credit.

The card also comes with a 0% intro APR on purchases and balance transfers for 15 months, then a 19.99% to 29.99% variable APR. There is a 3% fee on each balance transfer in the first 15 months but no fee for amounts transferred at the purchase APR after the first 15 months. Finally, you’ll get some protections with the SavorOne card including travel accident insurance, extended warranty coverage and more. Overall, it’s a better choice than the Princess card.

Princess Cruises Rewards Visa Card vs. Disney® Premier Visa® Card * The information for the Disney® Premier Visa® Card has been collected independently by Blueprint. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.

If you love the idea of a cruise-centered credit card, the Disney® Premier Visa® Card * The information for the Disney® Premier Visa® Card has been collected independently by Blueprint. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer. has you covered. It’s great for families, as you can use your points for Disney Vacations at theme parks, resorts and cruises. The card earns 5% in Disney Rewards Dollars on purchases made directly at DisneyPlus.com, Hulu.com or ESPNPlus.com, 2% in Disney Rewards Dollars on purchases at gas stations, grocery stores, restaurants and most Disney U.S. locations and 1% on all other card purchases. Perhaps the most enticing part of the card is the promotional APR offer on Disney Vacation packages, which is perfect for planning your next cruise. With this card you’ll get a 0% intro APR on purchases for 6 months on select Disney vacation packages, then a standard 19.24% to 28.24% variable APR on purchases and balance transfers applies. A balance transfer fee of either $5 or 5% of each transfer, whichever is greater, applies.

The Disney Premier Visa Card has an annual fee of $49 and a welcome bonus of a $300 statement credit after spending $1,000 on purchases in the first three months of account opening. You can still do better than the Disney Premier Visa regarding earnings on everyday spending. However, if you want to earn rewards towards a Disney cruise or other Disney-fied option, this is a decent choice.

Should you get the Princess Cruises Rewards Visa Card?

The Princess Cruises Rewards Visa comes up short as a rewards card. Even if your travel budget is exclusively reserved for Princess Cruises, you are better off with a different credit card. Choose one that allows you to earn better rewards at a higher value. A general travel rewards card would also allow you to transfer your points to multiple airline and hotel partners, giving you more versatile options. Even a 2% cash-back card would be a better and simpler option than this one.

Princess Cruises Rewards Visa Card summary

Frequently asked questions (faqs).

For most redemption options, a point is worth one cent. If you redeem your rewards for a Princess Cruise purchase over $4,000, a point is worth two cents.

You should have a good to excellent credit score to increase your likelihood of getting approved for the Princess Cruises Rewards Visa. This means a credit score of 670 or greater using the FICO Score model. However, Barclays will use a variety of metrics when reviewing your application.

For Capital One products listed on this page, some of the above benefits are provided by Visa® or Mastercard® and may vary by product. See the respective Guide to Benefits for details, as terms and exclusions apply.

DH and I were just discussing what else we needed to plan for our September cruise, we need ETA's for Australia which we can do online, luckily we are all US citizens this time:D

Do we need visa's for FP, NZ and Fiji??

Will call Princess but was hoping someone here would know.

You don't need a visitor visa to New Zealand (as long as you have onward travel documents, but the ship will sort that out in port) or Fiji (as long as you stay no longer than 4 months).This applies to you in the US as well as us Brits. Whats FP? Phillipines? If it is, we don't need a visa for a visit of up to 21 days, but it doesn't mention other countries. Google 'Phillipines Embassy' and you should hopefully be able to get info from there, although I would imagine you would be in the same boat as us (pardon the pun!!).

French Polynesia, we go to Papeete & Bora Bora, also Cook Islands and American Somoa.

The only place you will need a VISA/ETA is Australia. Princess usually automatically include it in their taxes and fees ($20 PP) but you can get it yourself and ask them to remove that charge from their bill. You might also want to call you airline to see if they will get if for you. United provided it for us last April at no charge but you have to ask for it. You are going to love this cruise. We did a similar itinerary in reverse last April and are booked again for April 2008. Enjoy.

Thanks for the info, I have done the ETA online before for previous trips but will check with Princess.

I have been following your organized informational roll call since it started last summer - :D :D

That roll call is amazing. A great group and there are a whole bunch of people experienced in that itinerary and thanks to a few of them we have been very organized in presenting the info. Hopefully it will be around for a long time to come so others can take advantage of the information.

Introduction

Welcome aboard the world of Princess Cruises! As you prepare for your upcoming voyage, one question that may be on your mind is, “When can I check-in for my Princess Cruise?” Checking in for your cruise is an essential step in ensuring a smooth embarkation process and getting your vacation started on the right foot. In this article, we will guide you through the check-in process for Princess Cruises, providing you with valuable information to make your experience seamless and stress-free.

Princess Cruises is renowned for its exceptional service, captivating itineraries, and luxurious onboard amenities. With a wide array of destinations to choose from, including breathtaking destinations in the Caribbean, Alaska, Europe, and beyond, Princess Cruises offers an unforgettable vacation experience. Whether you’re a first-time cruiser or a seasoned sailor, knowing the check-in procedures and timeline will help you plan your journey with ease.

So, let’s embark on the journey together as we explore the various aspects of the Princess Cruise check-in process. From online check-in options to check-in procedures at the port, we’ll cover everything you need to know to ensure a hassle-free start to your cruise adventure.

Overview of Princess Cruise Check-In Process

The Princess Cruise check-in process is designed to streamline the embarkation process and ensure that guests have a seamless start to their cruise vacation. Prior to boarding the ship, all passengers are required to complete the check-in procedure, which includes providing necessary documentation, submitting personal information, and obtaining the necessary identification materials.

One of the key aspects of the Princess Cruise check-in process is the option for online check-in. This convenient feature allows passengers to complete the necessary paperwork and provide essential information in advance, saving time and effort on the day of embarkation. Online check-in can typically be done within 75 days prior to the sailing date, and it is highly recommended to complete this process as early as possible to secure your preferred boarding time.

During the online check-in process, passengers will be asked to provide details such as passport information, emergency contact information, and any special requirements or requests. It is essential to double-check all the entered information to ensure accuracy and avoid any issues during check-in.

Upon completion of the online check-in process, passengers will receive their boarding documents, which can be printed or saved on a mobile device for presentation at the cruise terminal. These documents include a boarding pass, luggage tags, and important information regarding the itinerary and onboard activities.

Once passengers arrive at the port, they will proceed to the designated check-in area, where their documents and identification will be verified by the cruise line staff. At this point, guests will also be asked to provide a credit card or onboard account information for any required purchases or incidentals during the voyage.

After completing the check-in process at the terminal, passengers will receive their cruise cards, also known as the “Key to the World.” This card serves as identification, cabin key, and onboard charge card throughout the duration of the cruise. It is important to keep the cruise card handy at all times and to ensure its safekeeping throughout the trip.

With the overall goal of ensuring a smooth and efficient embarkation process, Princess Cruises has implemented these check-in procedures to create a stress-free experience for their guests. By completing the online check-in process in advance and preparing the necessary documents, passengers can start their cruise with ease and anticipation.

Online Check-In Options

Princess Cruises offers convenient online check-in options for passengers, allowing them to complete the necessary paperwork and provide essential information prior to their embarkation day. This online check-in process is designed to save time and make the overall check-in experience smoother for guests.

To access the online check-in system, passengers can visit the official Princess Cruises website and navigate to the “Manage My Booking” section. Here, they will be prompted to enter their booking details, such as their booking number and personal information, to initiate the check-in process.

During the online check-in, passengers will be asked to provide important information, including passport details, emergency contact information, and any special requests or requirements. It is crucial to ensure that all information is accurate and up to date to avoid any issues during the check-in process.

One of the benefits of completing the online check-in is the ability to choose a preferred boarding time. Princess Cruises offers different time slots for passengers to board the ship, helping to manage the flow of guests and minimize wait times. By completing the online check-in early, passengers have a better chance of securing their desired boarding time slot.

In addition to completing the paperwork and providing necessary information, passengers can also upload a photo for their cruise identification card. The photo should meet the guidelines specified by the cruise line, such as being a recent, clear, and full-face image. Having the photo uploaded in advance speeds up the check-in process at the terminal, as the cruise line staff will already have the photo on file.

Once passengers have completed the online check-in process, they will receive their boarding documents via email or through the Princess Cruises website. These documents include a boarding pass, luggage tags, and important information about the voyage. Passengers have the option to print these documents or save them on their mobile devices for easy access at the terminal.

Online check-in is available within a specific timeframe, usually starting around 75 days before the sailing date. It is highly recommended to complete the online check-in as early as possible to secure your preferred boarding time and avoid any last-minute rush.

By taking advantage of the online check-in options provided by Princess Cruises, passengers can save time and streamline their embarkation process. It is a convenient way to ensure that all paperwork is in order and to start the cruise experience on a positive note.

Check-In Timeframes for Different Cruise Itineraries

The check-in timeframe for your Princess Cruise may vary depending on the specific itinerary and departure port. It is important to be aware of the recommended check-in time to ensure a smooth and efficient embarkation process. Here is a general guideline for the check-in timeframes based on different cruise itineraries:

  • Caribbean Cruises: For Caribbean cruises, the recommended check-in time is typically between 11:30 am and 1:30 pm. This gives passengers ample time to arrive at the port, complete the check-in process, and board the ship before the scheduled departure time.
  • Alaska Cruises: Check-in time for Alaska cruises may vary depending on whether the ship departs from Seattle, Vancouver, or another port in Alaska. Generally, it is advisable to arrive at the port between 11:00 am and 2:00 pm to ensure sufficient time for check-in and to settle into your cabin before the ship sets sail.
  • European Cruises: European cruises often have slightly different check-in timeframes due to various factors such as local customs, immigration processes, and port regulations. It is typically recommended to arrive at the port between 12:00 pm and 3:00 pm for European cruises.
  • World Cruises: World cruises, which span multiple continents over an extended period, may have different check-in timeframes for specific segments or embarkation ports. Passengers on world cruises should consult their specific itinerary or check with Princess Cruises for the recommended check-in time.

It is important to note that these timeframes are general recommendations and may vary depending on the specific sailing and port conditions. Passengers should refer to their booking information or contact Princess Cruises directly for the most accurate and up-to-date check-in instructions.

Regardless of the check-in timeframe, it is always advisable to arrive at the port with enough time to go through the necessary procedures. Arriving early not only allows for a stress-free check-in but also provides an opportunity to explore the port area, take photos, or complete any last-minute purchases before boarding the ship.

By adhering to the recommended check-in timeframes for your specific cruise itinerary, you can ensure a smooth and efficient embarkation process, setting the stage for a memorable and enjoyable vacation with Princess Cruises.

Check-In Requirements and Documents Needed

When it comes to the check-in process for your Princess Cruise, there are certain requirements and documents that you need to have in order to complete the procedure smoothly. Here is a list of the essential items you should bring:

  • Identification Documents: All passengers, including adults and children, are required to present valid identification during check-in. The most commonly accepted form of identification is a passport. It is crucial to ensure that your passport is valid for at least six months beyond the end of your cruise. Alternatively, some cruises may accept other government-issued identification documents such as an enhanced driver’s license or a birth certificate with a valid government-issued photo ID.
  • Boarding Pass: After completing the online check-in process, you will receive a boarding pass via email or through the Princess Cruises website. It is important to print out this boarding pass or have it easily accessible on your mobile device. The boarding pass contains important information such as your stateroom assignment, boarding time, and other details regarding your cruise.
  • Visa Requirements: Depending on your cruise destination, you may need to obtain a visa prior to your travel. It is essential to research and understand the visa requirements for each port of call on your itinerary. Some countries may require passengers to obtain a visa in advance, while others may offer visa-on-arrival services or waive visa requirements for cruise passengers. Check with the appropriate consulate or embassy to ensure you have the necessary visas before you embark on your cruise.
  • Proof of Travel Insurance: While not mandatory, it is highly recommended to have travel insurance for peace of mind during your cruise. If you have purchased travel insurance, make sure to bring a copy of your policy or proof of coverage with you during check-in.
  • Health and Safety Documents: In light of recent global events, some cruises may require additional health and safety documents such as vaccination records or negative COVID-19 test results.

Check-In Procedures at the Port

Once you arrive at the port for your Princess Cruise, the check-in process begins at the designated terminal. Here are the typical check-in procedures at the port:

  • Baggage Drop-off: Before entering the terminal, you will have the opportunity to drop off your checked luggage. Ensure that you have attached the provided luggage tags to your bags, indicating your stateroom number. The luggage will be delivered to your cabin later in the day.
  • Security Screening: At the entrance of the terminal, you will go through a security screening process, similar to airport security. This involves placing your bags and personal belongings through an X-ray machine and walking through a metal detector. Be prepared to remove any metal objects, such as keys or belts, before proceeding through security.
  • Documents and Identification: Proceed to the check-in counters where Princess Cruises staff will verify your identification and documents. Have your boarding pass, identification, and any other required documents readily available for presentation. The staff will review your booking information, collect any outstanding payments, and provide you with your cruise card.
  • Security Photo: After receiving your cruise card, you may be directed to a designated area for a security photo. This photo will be used for identification purposes throughout the cruise and will be linked to your cruise card.
  • Boarding Time: Once you have completed the check-in process, you will proceed to the boarding area. Boarding times are typically staggered to manage the flow of passengers and minimize congestion. Listen for announcements or refer to your boarding pass for your assigned boarding time.
  • Boarding the Ship: When it is time for your assigned boarding group, follow the instructions of the staff and proceed to the gangway. You will present your cruise card to the crew members stationed at the gangway, who will welcome you aboard the ship.

It is important to note that the check-in procedures may vary slightly depending on the specific port and embarkation process for your cruise. Princess Cruises provides detailed information regarding the check-in procedures for each sailing, which can be accessed through their website or by contacting their customer service.

Additionally, if you require any special assistance or have specific needs during the check-in process, it is advisable to inform Princess Cruises in advance or speak with a staff member at the port.

This includes your passport, boarding pass, visa (if applicable), and any other required paperwork. Keep them organized and easily accessible for the check-in process.
  • Arrive with Ample Time: Give yourself enough time to arrive at the port before the recommended check-in time. This allows for any unexpected delays and ensures that you have sufficient time to go through security, check-in, and board the ship without feeling rushed.
  • Attach Luggage Tags: Before arriving at the port, make sure you have attached the provided luggage tags to your checked bags. This helps the staff direct your luggage to the correct stateroom. Double-check that the tags are securely attached and that your stateroom number is clearly visible.
  • Organize Essential Items: Prioritize your carry-on bag with essential items, such as travel documents, medication, valuables, and a change of clothes. Having these items easily accessible will save you from rummaging through your luggage once you’re onboard.
  • Check for Special Requirements: If you or someone in your party has specific dietary needs, mobility challenges, or requires special assistance, inform Princess Cruises in advance. They can provide the necessary accommodations to ensure a comfortable check-in process and an enjoyable cruise experience.
  • Follow Staff Instructions: During the check-in process, there will be staff members available to guide you. Pay attention to their instructions and follow any guidance provided. They are there to ensure a smooth and efficient process for all passengers.
  • Remain Patient and Flexible: Keep in mind that the check-in procedure involves processing a large number of passengers. Patience and flexibility go a long way in making the process more pleasant. Be prepared for potential delays or queues and maintain a positive attitude.
  • Be Respectful of Others: Remember that everyone is excited to begin their cruise adventure. Show respect and courtesy to fellow passengers and staff members. Maintaining a friendly and cooperative demeanor contributes to a harmonious check-in process for everyone.
