Hygiene and Safety Protocols
Princess is actively working with public health officials and medical experts in an effort to do everything possible to prevent illness, including COVID-19, onboard Princess ships. Here are some actions that Princess is taking to ensure our guests can sail confidently and safely with Princess.
Changing Itineraries
Princess is constantly monitoring the global health map and cancel or modify itineraries to impacted areas. Princess also prevents guests and crew who have recently traveled through these high-risk locations from boarding.
Enhancing Health Requirements
Princess will deny boarding to guests and crew if they:
- Have been in contact with a suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19 or a person being monitored for COVID-19.
- Are suffering from a fever or flu-like symptoms prior to embarkation.
Stepping Up Screenings
At embarkation, Princess will require all guests and crew to participate in mandatory health screenings, which may include a thermal scan to check temperatures, and in some cases secondary screenings. Depending on the results, Princess will deny certain individuals boarding if they feel they could pose a risk to others.
Enhancing Sanitation Procedures in Embarkation Terminals
Enhancing Sanitation Procedures in Embarkation Terminals Beginning in select terminals on March 7, 2020, highly touched surfaces throughout each embarkation terminal will be sanitized continuously, and terminals will be thoroughly sanitized and, where possible, fogged before and after each embarkation and debarkation.
Cleaning Everywhere!
In addition to the rigorous daily cleaning regimen they already have, Princess is establishing additional sanitation measures on all of their ships, which include sanitizing frequently touched surfaces in all public areas – from tables and chairs to casino chips and fitness machines – even more often than they did before.
Free-flowing Hand Sanitizer
Princess already has hand-washing sinks or hand sanitizer dispensers in front of entrances to all dining venues and the buffet. Crew will monitor entrances to all venues to encourage all guests wash their hands before entering. Princess is also adding additional hand sanitizer dispensers in high-traffic areas around the ship.
Keeping Crew Healthy
Each day, Princess is raising awareness daily of how to maintain a healthy environment on board by reinforcing frequent hand-washing, avoiding hand contact, reporting guests who present signs of illness and more. Princess will also more actively enforce crew hand-washing and provide more hand sanitizers in crew areas.
Revising Medical Protocols & Staying Prepared
Every Princess ship sails with a highly capable medical team that will receive special training for COVID-19. Any guest or crew member who exhibits symptoms of respiratory illness will strongly be encouraged to visit the Medical Center for a complimentary consultation and, if appropriate, screening for COVID-19.
24/7 Monitoring and Preparedness
Princess' team monitors world health developments from state-of-the-art Fleet Operations Center in Santa Clarita, California, and offices around the world 24-7. Princess is also in close contact with major health agencies, medical experts and partners in the travel industry so Princess can act quickly to revise plans and protocols as the situation evolves.

Trip was perfect. DAWN and Affordable Tours took care of all my needs.
Great trip - everything went smoothly with no problems. The cruise itself was great.
We only have two negatives to complain about: The internet on the ship is woefully slow! I know satellite internet is slow by its very nature, but this is unreal. You literally burn minutes just to get the browser to open your in box. For the price, Princess should either speed up the internet connection, or give more minutes, or provide "unlimited minutes" for a reasonable price. The second beef is the coffee urns in the Sun Deck. No sterno underneath the urns to keep it hot. On the last day of the cruise, they finally switched to thermos containers instead of metal urns.
We were impressed with Princess Cruises. Autumn did a great job with our booking
We weren't sure what to expect since this was our first trip with Princess Cruise - We were pleasantly surprised and will book our next cruise with Princess Cruise. We already put down a deposit towards a future cruise with Princess.
The off ship tours were not the best. Only two guides spoke good English...others not. I would never book Jakarta or Bali highlights again...just urban sprawl. Singapore and Kula Lumpur city highlights were much better. Penang the worse..dirty and bad guide...we couldn't find our bus at appointed place...she changed it but we were able to ride back to the port with another bus. Lok... Island was quite beautiful. The ship was well organized, food excellent. We used the dining rooms as buffets are too hard to manage. The service tops. I would go for more scenic tours in the future.BAD..they sold us two spirits (1L) but never told us the any spirits coming into Singapore from Malaysia were taxed...89 Singapore dollars.. They should have never sold them also smokes etc. We gave them to them. Sure would be nice if flying in to Singapore came in earlier as we were dead tired anmd by the time we got to our hotel it was 3:30 AM
Was very pleased with the location of our cabin. We were disappointed in the weather but the weather we had at our home wasn't any better and we just took it in stride and made the best of it.
While the excursions were wonderful (for the most part), the excursion to Denali National Park was scheduled to be a 6-hour tour and lasted only 3 hours. The only wildlife we observed on this excursion was a snowshoe rabbit and the rear of a caribou from at least a 1-mile distance. That was the only disappointing aspect of the cruisetour.
Another great cruise! We are looking forward to our April transatlantic cruise!
