You can review the Princess dress code online at Princess.com. It’s best to be prepared before you embark!

great point!

Incredibly helpful as we prepare for our cruise.

Gratuities are not part of your price. They are additional & you can prepay or be charged on board on your account. Also, the pods for he washers do work in the washing machines. I always bring a few pods and some dryer sheets to use. Doing this you do not need to pay $3.00 per token to purchase detergent, dryer sheets and your washers and dryers. Save money where you can. I've cruised 13 times thus far, most being on princess. Please check your facts before putting out a video with incorrect info?

Just completed Princess cruise and found the laundry rooms neat and clean. After tallying up what it would cost to do one load with detergent, dryer sheets, wash and dry, decided to use the ship's laundry service. Cost was $10 self-serve and $20 they do it. You are correct about gratuities. Also she left out the room steward, who I got to know well and he took good care of us.

Jenny Bentancort - 5 years ago

could you please let me know what is the "pods" for the washers... and what are dryer sheets... ? and how many token you need to wash one machine? sorry I ask all these but Im interest because we are going to use the Sun princes and will like to be prepare.. thank you

The Robes are NOT to be worn to the Pool. Only in your room.

r g - 5 years ago

Just completed Alaska cruise and those brave souls who used the pool or hot tubs in the cold wore their robes and no one had any problems.

Traveling Flamingo - 5 years ago

That’s for commenting. There is definitely a debate on if bathrobes should be worn to public areas or not. Our belief is both are right and you’re free to enjoy your vacation your way, with or without the robe :)

The first night on board I purchase a magnet of the ship I am sailing on. This is not only a nice souvenir, but very useful during the trip. Every night my mail box is filled with papers, some needed, some not so much. Information about the next day's port is stuck to the wall opposite my bed, using my handy little magnet. This is an item I want handy but it doesn't need to take up space in my safe. It is also useful for leaving messages for the other person in the cabin. As handy as Princess@Sea sounds, sending texts to others is complicated by the fact that there is no notification on the receiving end.

Great idea magnets are very handy on ship. We enjoyed the princess patter also it’s a great way to see what’s going on but if you leave it in your stateroom we liked that there are other options.

Patrick Mooney - 5 years ago

Thanks for the useful information. It is very appreciated.

Lonnie Dotson - 5 years ago

I would recommend that you don't use back ground music. Not needed I think you talk fine and your speech was fine :)...you said the groutites were included in your price, it was added to the ticket at 15.50 per day...I paid up front

Have you guys sailed with Celebrity? If so what line you like better , we have sailed Celebrity more and Princess one time, we have sailed many other lines,we are trying to settle in on one cruise line so we can start taking advantage of there loyalty programs, and it seems to be our choice between Princess or Celebrity , and tips would be great

How is the internet service?

r g - 5 years ago

Sailed in last week in May 2019 and the internet was SLOW!!!!!!!!. Also purchased the must used package which was $100 for 200 minutes. After viewing one youtube video and watching my minutes dwindle to half, I only checked email for the remainder of the cruise. Also, by being slow, you lose minutes as well. But, you have now choice. Also watch out for use of your cell phone. If you do not put it in airplane mode then you will get extra "sea charge" from your carrier for all the stuff that downloads behind the scenes.

Traveling Flamingo - 5 years ago

Yea outside of the Royal Caribbean’s new ships and the new Sky Princess (which is suppose to have similar service to Royal Caribbean) it’s very slow and expensive.

On princess it's very slow and expensive.

Thank you for these great tips! It is good to know that the guest laundry onboard does not have High Efficiency washers. I'll leave my HE detergent at home.

Information regarding gratuities is misleading.

lucky khan - 5 years ago

Thank for sharing

Thelma Ortega - 5 years ago

You mention using your phone to look at activities and message others on board and using their wifi to do this. Do you pay extra to use their wifi etc.?

r g - 5 years ago

The answer below is correct. There is an app that you can download just for ship info. This is free. Will not allow regular internet access.

Traveling Flamingo - 5 years ago

Great question, the on-board wifi you do have to pay for however the list of excursions, booking certain restaurants and messaging people on the ship is free and works even if you do not pay for a wifi package.

Our experience with Princess, which is our favorite cruise company, is that gratuities are not normally included in the price of the cruise. The exceptions may be that: 1. You got a special deal where they are free, or 2. You prepaid your gratuities. They are normally charged daily to your room bill. At the end of the cruise they will be charged to your credit card on file or you can pay for them before leaving the cruise.

Traveling Flamingo - 5 years ago

Correct to clarify gratuity is included in the price of the meal / drink. As you said a default rate is charged at the end of the cruse (to clarify what we said in the video ;))

Lund Travels - 5 years ago

as a travel agent, I totally agree with your cruise tips! Princess is so great and especially in Alaska!

Traveling Flamingo - 5 years ago

It is, such a great cruise line for Alaska I’d love to try there cruise tours next time.
