Cruising is a remarkable value. And when it comes to destinations, it’s especially true in places like the Caribbean in the fall and winter or in Europe during the winter months when demand is less and therefore rates are lower. Cruising in Europe really does represent a terrific bargain for two main reasons: the strong Euro makes land-based vacations very pricey. And secondly, to see all the places that a cruise takes you would require numerous flights or a rental car, plus tolls, gas, parking and much more – and that’s not even considering lodging and meals. Ouch. All of you, especially the super budget-minded, will appreciate Saving money.
Book now for a spectacular cruise that takes you through one of the wonders of modern engineering - the Panama Canal. See man and nature working in perfect harmony as you cruise past emerald-green rainforests.
Hurry before these Sailings are all booked.
Bring your group together for an experience you'll talk about for years to come.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has issued a new ruling that goes into effect on February 18, 2008, which mandates that all guests embarking on a cruise from a U.S. port be checked-in and onboard their ship at least one hour prior to ship's departure. To comply with this mandate and ensure that there is ample time for check-in, Most Cruise Lines now require that all guests be checked in 90 minutes prior to the ship's scheduled departure. Guests arriving later than the 90 minutes check-in time will be denied boarding.
Caribbean, Bahamas, Bermuda, Alaska,
Mexican Riviera, Or Canada & New England Cruises
For sailings that depart from and return to the same U.S. port, you only need
proof of citizenship and a government issued photo I.D. or a valid driver's
license with a photo. Proof of Citizenship examples include: an original or
state certified copy of a birth certificate, a valid or recently expired
passport, a U.S. passport card, Enhanced Driver's License, certificate of
naturalization, certificate of citizenship, or a report of your birth abroad.
For open-jaw sailings (cruises that depart from one U.S. port and return to a
different U.S. port), you are required to carry a valid passport, U.S. passport
card or Enhanced Drivers License, as well as have in your possession all
relative visas that pertain to your travel itinerary. Permanent residents of the
U.S. are required to carry their valid ARC cards for boarding AND passport from
their country of citizenship, if available.
Note: We strongly recommend that all guests travel with a valid
passport during their cruise. If you miss your ship at its scheduled U.S.
departure port and need to travel outside the U.S. to meet your ship, or should
you unexpectedly need to depart the ship from a foreign port prior to the end of
sailing, a passport would be required to leave or re-enter the U.S. by air.

Princess Cruises Debuts New “Ultimate Ship Tour” with
Launch
of Ruby Princess
Rare
Behind-the-Scenes Access Will Give Passengers Exclusive Insider’s View of
Ship Operations
SANTA
CLARITA, Calif. (September 2, 2008) – Most cruise ship passengers are aware
that behind the scenes of their relaxing cruise vacation there’s a bustle of
activity to deliver an excellent experience, but few have gotten an up-close
look at these inner workings. This
will change in November with the debut of Ruby
Princess as Princess
Cruises introduces an industry first, The Ultimate Ship Tour, an
exclusive opportunity to experience an array of “back of house” areas that
are key to a ship’s daily operations.
This
pioneering concept will give passengers the unique opportunity to explore
beyond the public areas with visits to the ship’s engine control room,
medical center, print shop, laundry, photo lab, bridge and other spaces for a
rare insider’s view of many areas typically seen only by the ship’s crew.
Participants will also receive a variety of themed mementos at many of
the stops along the route.
“This
tour is really the ultimate opportunity for some of our passengers to get a
very unique view of the new Ruby Princess, and meet some of the ship’s
senior officers in their working environment,” said Jan Swartz, Princess
senior vice president. “I’m
sure people will be amazed at what goes into running a city at sea,
particularly since our onboard staff makes it appear so easy.”
The
Ultimate Ship Tour lasts approximately three hours, and will be offered once
or twice per cruise on a sea day. Space
is limited for the tour, which will be available for $150 per person, and can
be reserved onboard at the Passenger Services Desk.
Following its debut aboard Ruby Princess, the program will be
introduced aboard all Princess ships.
The
innovative tour will feature:
Back
Stage Area – Passengers start the tour with a glimpse behind the
glitz in the Princess Theater, home to Princess’ sparkling stage
productions. They’ll meet the
cast and production staff, who will show them all that goes into making sure
the show goes on night after night – including costumes and dressing areas,
scenery and technical operations such as lighting and sound.
Galley
and Food Production Areas – In the galley, guests will meet the
executive chef, learn about the process of providing thousands of passengers
meals each day, and see the inner workings of the ship’s kitchen areas while
enjoying a glass of French champagne, caviar and canapés.
In addition, passengers will get a peek into some of Ruby
Princess’ vast food storage and production areas, each specially
equipped and temperature-controlled for a specific type of food.
Each guest will also be presented with an official chef’s jacket.
Engine
Control Room – At the center of the vessel’s mechanical and
electrical systems, the engine control room is where the ship’s technical
team monitors everything from the operation of the ship’s propellers to the
water supply in each stateroom. Participants
will meet the chief technical offer and his staff who will explain the
numerous functions overseen by the control room, including the vast amount of
power generated to operate Ruby Princess.
Print
Shop – Passengers will see where their daily Princess Patter, among
other things, is produced. The
ship’s printer will meet the group and demonstrate the printing equipment
and explain which materials passengers see each day are printed right onboard Ruby
Princess. To mark their
visit, each passenger will receive their own set of personalized stationery
printed on board.
Photo
Laboratory – Princess was the first cruise line to go completely
digital, and each ship operates a full photo lab with the latest in digital
printing equipment. The group
will meet the Ruby Princess photo staff and learn how they manage the
thousands of pictures taken and printed each day.
Participants might even see their own smiling faces print out during
their visit.
Medical
Center – The ship’s doctor will meet the group to show them the
state-of-the-art medical facilities, including treatment rooms, laboratory
facilities, intensive care unit, and digital x-ray system.
Participants will learn how the ship’s doctors and nurses – all
full-time maritime medicine specialists – keep both passengers and crew
healthy and handle medical emergencies. They’ll
also learn about the most common reasons passengers visit the medical center.
Main
Laundry – Ruby Princess’ onboard laundries operate 24
hours a day to wash tons of passenger and crew linens, towels, and clothing
– including more than 20,000 towels a day alone.
Here visitors will meet the laundry master and will see this impressive
operation in action. Participants
will also receive a luxurious bath robe usually reserved for suite passengers.
Funnel
– The group will then travel to the upper most deck of the ship to
join the staff captain for the opportunity to peek inside the ship’s funnel
area high atop Ruby Princess, where they will be treated to spectacular
views of the ship and the surrounding ocean.
Bridge
– The tour concludes at the ship’s command center, where passengers will
meet the captain and his bridge team and learn about the state-of-the-art
navigational equipment and safety systems aboard Ruby Princess.
Passengers will also take in the dramatic front-of-ship views from
the bridge’s wraparound windows, while they enjoy special refreshments and
pose with the captain at the ship’s wheel for a complimentary photo.
The framed photo and a tour completion certificate signed by the
captain will later be delivered to each participant’s stateroom.
Ruby
Princess,
a sister ship to Emerald Princess and Crown Princess, will debut
on November 8. Ship features
include a dramatic piazza-style atrium featuring small-bite eateries and an
ever-changing array of performing street entertainers, Princess' signature
adults-only retreat called The Sanctuary, an Italian restaurant, a seafood and
steak house, and "Movies Under the Stars," a giant outdoor movie
screen. The 113,000-ton vessel
will feature an inaugural season of Western Caribbean cruises roundtrip from
Fort Lauderdale, followed by a program of Mediterranean voyages in summer
2009.
On either cruise, you'll also visit some of the most picturesque and exciting
ports of call on both sides of the Canal, including Cabo San Lucas, Acapulco,
Huatulco, Puntarenas, Cristobal, and Aruba. Sportfish or whale-watch, sail or
snorkel, or take a dive in the crystal-blue waters. There's always an adventure
to be had!

| Princess ships offer the line's innovative Personal Choice Cruising program, an individualized, unstructured style of cruising that provides a "what you want, when you want" atmosphere of onboard choice and flexibility designed to give passengers the opportunity to customize their cruise vacation to meet their personal interests, needs and desires. Princess introduced the concept of putting the passengers in control of their own cruise experience in the mid-1990s when it introduced the revolutionary Sun-class ships. This emphasis on choice -- of multiple dining locations, flexible entertainment and affordable private balconies -- has since established customized cruising as the touchstone of new ship design for the entire industry. Princess has also distinguished itself by sailing to more worldwide cruise destinations than any other major line. Offering more than 150 itineraries ranging from seven to 72 days, Princess sails to six continents and calls at nearly 260 ports around the world. Destinations include the Caribbean, Alaska, Panama Canal, Europe, Mexican Riviera, South America, South Pacific, Hawaii/Tahiti, Asia, Canada/New England, Bermuda and world voyages. |
