- This is something we can certainly accommodate. Make sure when you speak with our agent, you let him know.
- Do I need a passport?
- No, however one is recommended. You should have a current passport that does not expire within six (6) months of the cruise sailing. More information can be found on the Princess website under Travel Documentation.
- As a new cruiser, what should I expect?
- There is a lot of valuable information on the Princess website for new cruisers. Start here. Plus, follow our website or join our Facebook group. We will be sharing more information as the year progresses.
- Do I have to do everything the group does?
- No, indeed! Although we will have a few group events, you are free to experience all the activities the cruise offers including shore excursions. Just like at a land-based rally, you are not required to be at every group activity.
- Are there group shore excursions?
- Because there are so many wonderful things to see and do in the ports, there is no designated group excursions. We do encourage you to share in our Facebook group which excursions you are taking. There may be other cruisers looking to partner up with others.
- Do we eat together?
- A group dining time will be set up. This is usually an early dining time so people still can make the early shows. You are not required to eat together. Some of the packages offer specialty dining that we encourage you to take advantage of. Sometimes we are still in port during our dining time and while you can still join in, don't feel like you have to cut your time in port short to do so.
- Are there any other group activities?
- Yes! We will have a couple of short group events during our cruise. These events will NOT take place during our time in the ports so that we do not interfere with your shore excursions. A schedule will be released prior to our sailing.
- Is there Internet available?
- Yes, Princess Cruises offers MedallionNet on-board the ship for a fee or as part of a package. There are different plans available.
- Do I have to use the group's travel agency?
- Yes, if you wish to be included with this group, all bookings must go through our travel agent. There are special group events and perks that come with your booking.
- Do I have to be a Grand Design owner to do this cruise?
