LAUNDRY AND DRY CLEANING

Take advantage of Princess' onboard laundry service. All laundry is returned within 48 hours, or on the same day with our express service. The ship also offer dry-cleaning services and self-service launderettes.

INTERNET AND EMAIL ACCESS

Internet access is available on all Princess vessels through the onboard Internet Cafés and in your stateroom. Use our state-of-the-art computer systems to access your web-based e-mail account (i.e., AOL, Yahoo and Hotmail) or browse the Internet for world news, sports and stock trading.

Passengers who have an account with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) such as AT&T, EarthLink and MSN will not be able to retrieve them while onboard, as it is not possible to access these accounts through the World Wide Web. We therefore recommend that passengers establish a Web-based account such as AOL, Yahoo or Hotmail prior to their cruise, although this may be done while onboard.

Please contact the Purser's Desk onboard for information regarding the charges that apply for Internet services, wireless services and the hours of operation, or if you have any specific requirements.

POSTAL SERVICE

Since U.S. stamps are acceptable for use only within the U.S., the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, the Purser's Desk has stamps for most ports you'll be visiting. Mail can be dropped in the mailbox located at the Purser's Desk.

PURSER'S DESK

The Purser's Desk in the ship's lobby is the place to cash travelers checks, buy stamps, mail letters, ask questions, settle your shipboard account and check Lost and Found.

MEDICAL CENTER

It is comforting to know that the onboard medical center is staffed by full time British registered doctors and nurses. In addition to twice daily office hours they are available twenty-four hours a day in the event of an emergency.

Charges for medical services will be added to your shipboard account and you will be provided with an itemized account to submit to your insurance company.. Check with your insurer if coverage applies outside the USA or purchase travel insurance that does.
