Ship Map

[jemy70]

I was curious if there were maps on the ship to help you get around, sort of like those signs in the mall with all the stores and the little dot saying "you are here". :) Or, maybe a paper copy. Just wondering if I need to study the ship layout before we leave or not.

When you check-in, you'll be given a map of the ship. There are also maps of the ship in every stairwell.

 

Have a great cruise!

There are both fixed maps and paper maps. There are deck plans at he elevators and you can get paper maps from the Purser's desk. You won't need them for long after you find your way around.:)

And the maps located on the walls do have a red dot locating that 'You Are Here'. You might get turned around at times as some of these ships are huge, but before long you will know exactly where you are and where you are headed, with the help of your little pocket map. ;)

The best map will be in the Princess brochure that covers your voyage (example: Europe, 2009).

 

It will show exactly what is on every deck and every cabin location. If you do not locate this before your trip (your travel agent should have one or you can request it on the internet from Princess), usually the onboard Future Cruise Consultant will have some brochure which will have it.

Unless, of course, if some um... good-natured... children rearrange the dots as has happened on one of our voyages. :p

And don't forget Princess color codes the stripe on the edge of the carpet in cabin areas. As I recall blue on port side orange on starboard (but could be the other way around). Remember the color so when you get out of the elevator you know which way to turn.

Here's a couple of map/directory examples for you from the Caribbean Princess

I've never been on a cruise where you couldn't get a deck plan from the Purser's

Office. I really like the ones on the wall near the elevator, though. I can read them

without my glasses.

I do check out the deck plan for my ship in the brochure. Then by the time I board,

I have a pretty good idea where everything is. If I can fine my stateroom and the

buffet for lunch, I'm set for the first few hours.

Oh, now that is a very good excuse if I get myself turned around on the ship. I need to remember that one. "sorry hunny, I went the wrong way because some silly children re-arranged the dots on the wall map". Yep, sounds like the perfect way to keep him from teasing me, especially on the mega monster ships. :)
