Embarkation
Your smooth cruise journey begins here
Embarkation is the gateway to your cruise adventure. Princess has implemented a new, improved process with the OceanReady system, offering a color-coded boarding system that allows guests to board at their convenience with minimal wait times. This organized process includes check-in and security, staffed by friendly crew members who provide a warm introduction to the ship’s amenities. The streamlined setup ensures a smooth start, setting the tone for an unforgettable journey. The OceanReady system divides guests into three categories: the green lane, the blue lane, and the accessibility lane, ensuring a stress-free embarkation experience for all.

Embarkation is included in your cruise fare
Embarkation has no additional cost and is included in your cruise fare. Platinum and Elite members may receive priority boarding, but the process itself is free for all guests.
The Embarkation area is open to guests of all ages for boarding and disembarking, but children under 16 must be supervised by an adult for safety. No specific age restrictions apply during these processes.
There is no specific dress code for this venue on a Princess cruise. The attire for the shops aligns with the ship's overall daily dress code. During the day, guests typically wear "cruise casual" clothing like shorts and sundresses. In the evening, the dress code is either "Smart Casual," where guests wear slacks, blouses, and collared shirts, or "Gala," where more formal attire is encouraged. While guests are not strictly required to dress up on formal nights, most guests choose to do so. In any case, swimwear is not permitted in indoor public areas.
