as19111 Posted September 6, 2007 #1 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I have my boarding passes in hand for a November cruise on the Diamond. On the boarding pass, about a third of the way down, is a star, and just above it is "for internal use:". Does this mean anything? Just curious.

Rare Coral Posted September 6, 2007 #3 Share Posted September 6, 2007 We figured this out before on this board and I just can't remember.... I think it means where you are from. US has a star, Canadians had another symbol - Leaf, maybe.... Hopefully someone from Canada can pipe in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
as19111 Posted September 7, 2007 Author #4 Share Posted September 7, 2007 That would make sense. Curiously, I tried to scan the document to cut and paste the symbol into my message, and it comes up a giant goose egg! So, there must be some security attached to it to prevent forging the boarding pass, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I wish I had one that I could try :) I scanned my passport and visa for my trip this summer in case I lost them. What would happen if I would have done that with a boarding pass and forgotten them and got the scanned copy off of my email at the hotel and printed that copy..... Too funny.

spongerob Posted September 7, 2007 #7 Share Posted September 7, 2007 My wife gets the star, I get the maple leaf. I actually wish they'd distinguish between Canadians and legal US residents. They keep trying to direct me to the wrong immigration line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Coral Posted September 7, 2007 #8 Share Posted September 7, 2007 So what do others get - people from the UK, Aussies, etc??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the e-boarding passes. I'm so anxious for this trip that I printed them off pronto at day 75!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toto2Kansas Posted September 7, 2007 #13 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Well I'll be darned. Just printed my boarding passes off for our Egypt/Aegean Cruise in November. I did have a star on ours (shows how close attention I have paid in the past). And a little bus symbol that shows our transfers when we arrive. Guess I need to pay a little bit better attention................... :::blushing::: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mii Posted September 7, 2007 #14 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Toto don't feel bad. I never noticed the star either. if this thread had not asked the question I would have never noticed the star on the boarding pass. I printed mine out a few weeks ago and had to go back and see what was there and voila it was a star. Marilyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrierjohn Posted September 7, 2007 #16 Share Posted September 7, 2007 So what do others get - people from the UK, Aussies, etc??? UK passengers cannot book in on line yet. Yet another case where we are short changed by Princess.:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

as19111 Posted September 7, 2007 Author #19 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Ok, now I really started something. I purchased the Princess transfers, and the pre-cruise hotel. I do not have any bus (big or little). Since this is a boarding pass, I didn't think I would need to present this until after the transfers. Do I need to worry?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
