Celebrating on the Diamond Princess?

Anyone celebrating an Anniversary? Birthday? Retirement? Or some other special day? If so I recommend that you note this in your My Princess, Cruise Personalizer. Princess is very good about recognizing your special occasion. 

I recall spending my birthday on the Island Princess in 2010 and they had my door decorated and such. There are also additional specialty items you can order on the gifts and services link at Princess to enhance your cabin stay.

To my knowledge I believe we have Rocky and Peggy celebrating their Anniversary on April 17th.

Is there anyone else among our cruisers celebrating?

Congratulations and we look forward to seeing you on board.

 

REMINDER...MY PRINCESS-CRUISE PERSONALIZER

Just a friendly reminder that Alex would like for you to get your MY PRINCESS/CRUISE PERSONALIZER completed and filled out. Please complete this no later then Friday,
March 15, 2013.

This will allow her time for her to review your information and work on any follow-ups as needed. This is very important as you will not be able to get your cruise documents if you
do not have this information completed and on-line for her to access. If you need assistance, contact the 800 Princess Cruise line (I have used them and they were very helpful) or contact us and we'll do our best to help you.

Did You Know...PRINCESS CRUISE AIR FLIGHT GUIDELINES

Although Alex is on top of this information as a professional travel agent. Not all of us (myself included) may cross out “t” and dot our “i”. With the website at our access some of you may choose to make arrangements on your own and NOT seek Alex’s professional assistance.  

There MAY be more information regarding our preparation to our cruise. And though I will do my best to share this information, I can’t guarantee that I can do this for you as I am by no means a professional like Alex. Which is why my personal choice and recommendation is to book with her!. So for those who are still working on flight arrangements,  fellow independent cruisers, “Buyer Beware”!  

I came across this important note on the Princess Cruise website.  It was under 
MY PRINCESS > Cruise Personalizer > Travel Summary > Notification.

AIR FLIGHT GUIDELINES
If you have purchased independent air arrangements, please ensure your air
schedule falls within these guidelines as Princess is not responsible for
making any alternate arrangements or for any out of pocket expenses that may
arise should you miss your cruise or cruise tour and/or return flight. The times
listed below are subject to change.

Embarkation:
Bangkok - Latest flight arrivals: 2:30 pm domestic/1:30 pm international

Disembarkation:
Anchorage - Earliest flight departures: 1:30 pm domestic and international
