For evenings and dinners, guests are requested to follow a smart casual dress code. Skirts, dresses, trousers, blouses, t-shirts, polo shirts and shirts are all permitted, but guests aren’t permitted to wear shorts or swimwear in restaurants. On some evenings and select restaurants, a formal dress code may be in place and this will be signposted outside the room the day before. Ladies are recommended to wear an evening gown, cocktail dress or pantsuit, while men can wear suits, combination or dinner jackets.
What plugs/voltage is required?
Each stateroom is equipped with 110V US plug fittings. If you have any questions about whether your appliances can be used, you can ask your stateroom steward.
Are there laundry facilities onboard?
Laundry facilities and services are available for a small fee. Guests can either take advantage of 48-hour return and express laundry services or self-service laundrette facilities. Either way, you can make sure your wardrobe staples are clean and fresh throughout your cruise.
Can I use my mobile from the ship?
Your phone can be used onboard Princess cruise ships so long as you have international roaming switched on and have alerted your provider that you’ll be travelling. You can also connect your phone to the Wi-Fi if you purchase a Wi-Fi package.
What is the cost of Wi-fi onboard?
All Princess cruise ships offer super-fast MedallionNet® Wi-Fi, keeping guests connected during their cruise. With prices starting at $24.99 USD pre-cruise for a single-device and a 50% discount for Platinum and Elite Captain’s Circle members, it’s easier than ever to use your devices as you would at home from the comfort of Princess cruise ships.
What are the onboard payment options?
The standard onboard currency is USD, although on select Australian-based itineraries, Australian dollars will be the onboard currency. Princess allows guests to provide cash or cards in advance to register for Express Check-Out, meaning you won’t need to visit Guest Services to settle your account. If you choose to pay by card on board, payments can be taken as you make your onboard purchases.
Can I smoke onboard?
Princess operates a no-smoking policy in all staterooms and on stateroom balconies for the comfort of all guests. Smoking is only permitted in designated areas which will be clearly marked.
Which Southampton cruise terminal does Princess Cruises use?
If you’re travelling from Southampton, then your cruise ship will most likely depart from the Ocean Terminal. Top tip: no public transport will take you to the Ocean Cruise terminal. Local transport will take you to the city centre – hop in a taxi once you’re there and after a short journey, you’ll find yourself at the Ocean Terminal, ready to depart.
Do Princess Cruises provide shuttle buses?
Once you’re docked in your port, Princess Cruises will provide you with a shuttle bus to take you from the dock if it’s required.
Paying for these shuttles tends to depend on the location of the dock. Generally, they’ll be free if the port is in a fairly restricted area that you can’t depart on foot. However, if the shuttle has to take you from the port to a nearby city or town, then you should expect to pay a fee – the amount generally depends on the distance you’ll be travelling on these trips.
How many formal nights are there on Princess Cruises?
The number of formal nights depends on the length of your cruise, pack your best clobber and dress to impress according to the following:
1-4 days: no formal evenings
