theloo Posted June 1, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Just curious, does anyone know what happens at the Princess HQ? I know the production shows are staged there and there are customer service staff. I will be there the day before I sail out of San Pedro and was wondering if they have a gift shop or anything to visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrawberryHill Posted June 1, 2023 #2 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Hi, Its just an office building. You have to have a reason to get in. There is a modal of a Princess cruise ship in the lobby and not much else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go, would you mind dropping one of these books off for the IT Department? ETA: Tagging @Thrak in case you don't see it as I am sure you will have a good laugh.

Mike45LC Posted June 1, 2023 #6 Share Posted June 1, 2023 It is likely the same ship model they had in the lobby when headquarters was in Century City (Los Angeles). I was in those offices several times for legal meetings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a number of separate buildings that house the different Princess departments. Edited June 1, 2023 by LACruiser88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antsp Posted June 1, 2023 #11 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I've always thought that a Airline must be one of the most complex logistical business to ever run, I guess a ctuise line is similar, but things happen a bit slower. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted June 1, 2023 #12 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Not a tourist destination. If you could even get into the building you would see desks, and other normal office stuff. I think you might be able to find the cabin mock ups on line. In the past I have seen videos of them. It is an hour or more drive north of San Pedro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltd Posted June 1, 2023 #13 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Worst case if you get there just walk a half a block and go into the Valencia Mall to do some shopping. Also you are surrounded by many restaurants. Thats about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn’t Six Flags Magic Mountain nearby? 45 years ago, before it became gang infested, that was a fun amusement park. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been to SFMM two or three times a LONG time ago. Not sure I would venture there again today considering other options. I suppose if I wanted to ride some of the coasters.... I liked a lot of the old coasters they had many moons back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dides Posted June 1, 2023 #21 Share Posted June 1, 2023 We were so close last October and didn't realise it until later! After our Discovery Princess cruise we drove up from LA to San Francisco and stopped by the "Lost Boys" bridge - which is only 4 minutes drive away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The receptionist would have to actually figure out where the outsourced IT team are located and mail it to them ...... along with the reservations support agents, and all the other outsourced functions. These days there is probably as much empty "Princess" office space as there is occupied space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
