Cruise Documents, Passage Contract, Passport and Travel Documents

Before leaving home, ensure you have all the proper documentation required to travel. Without appropriate documentation, you may be denied boarding of your flight, cruise, or cruisetour. All travel documents are your responsibility. Please read the Passage Contract carefully - its terms and conditions apply to you, your cruise and cruisetour(s).

In addition to carrying your Cruise Documents, Passage Contract, passport and other required travel documents, we also recommend you bring your medical insurance cards and travel protection plan, if purchased. Make sure you carry these items with you. Do not pack them in your checked luggage.

Valuables

We strongly recommend you hand-carry all valuables and breakables, including jewelry, electronics and cameras as well as any medications. Please read the Booking Conditions for limitations and responsibilities for lost items and baggage.

Clothing Suggestions

You should dress for a cruise with Princess the same way you would for any stylish land-based resort. Casual sportswear, including shorts, lightweight pants and jogging suits, is the order of the day both at sea and ashore in hotter climates. See weather.com for the latest weather information on the region you are visiting. We recommend you bring a sweater, a jacket or an all-weather coat for cool evenings, and for shore excursions, depending on your destination. Due to unpredictable weather, don't forget a hat or visor and a collapsible umbrella. Please be sure to bring proper clothing for visits to religious sites. You'll also want low-heeled, rubbersoled shoes for strolling on deck, as well as comfortable walking shoes or sandals to wear.

Onboard Attire

Princess makes it easy to know what to pack and what to wear when you're dining onboard. There are two designations for dress codes: Smart Casual and Formal.

Smart Casual Evenings:

• Passenger attire should be in keeping with what would be worn to a nice restaurant at home. Inappropriate dinner dress such as pool or beach attire, shorts, ball caps and casual jeans (with fraying and/or holes), is not permitted in the dining rooms. Shoes must be worn.

Formal Evenings:

• Evening gown, cocktail dress, or elegant pant suit for women
• Tuxedo, dark suit or dinner jacket and slacks for men

Princess offers formal wear rental on all cruises; this can be arranged prior to embarkation. Please review the section entitled: formal wear. See below for a general evening attire schedule.

Dress code is subject to change with the ship's itinerary. The above is a general guide. The dress code suggested in the Princess Patter may vary from time to time.
