What do I need to board?

[Rina's Mom]

Despite my previous 15 or so cruises on other lines, I am confused as to what I need in order to board a Princess cruise to Hawaii. I am a US citizen with a passport. Do I need anything besides the boarding pass and the passport? The Princess website says to take your "cruse documents" and the "passage contract." Are there other "cruise documents" that I'm missing? And why would I need the contract?

 

Thanks,

Boarding pass, passport and credit card. That's all you need to board. Don't forget to sign the boarding pass.

Did you download your Cruise Documents from the Princess website? They also include your luggage tags.

Thanks Pam and HJH.

 

Got the boarding pass, passport, luggage tags and credit card. So I'm good to go!

 

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly as well.

How do you know when it's time to download your boarding pass?

I downloaded mine after the final payment.

You can download it anytime after you have filed your info on the personalizer and when it shows they are available, however, it should be printed out at least a week or two before the cruse.

Your Personalizer is "frozen" five days before sailing and you can't make any changes or updates after that without calling Princess. However, there are links to downloading and printing your Boarding Pass and luggage tags. It's best and easier to print both well ahead of time.
