Personal Choice
Cruisingsm
"Where i belong"
Princess takes you back
where you belong - a place to re-connect with the things you
care about. You'll witness the awesome beauty of nature, give free
rein to your adventurous side, and enjoy the unstructured freedom
you enjoyed as a child in a grown up world of incomparable
service. It's all part of Personal Choice Cruising
with Princess. A vacation designed to meet your wants, needs and
even whims.
Personal
Choice Dining
Princess
has Blown Conventional Dining Out of the Water
Princess has cooked up a revolution in cruising called Personal
Choice Diningsm. This means
that you no longer have to appear at a fixed time for dinner in
the dining room. Instead, the choice of when & where you wish
to enjoy our award-winning cuisine is up to you. Your options for
dinner aboard Grand Princess or Golden Princess include the
Italian Trattoria, the Southwestern Café, the Pizzeria, the
24-hour Horizon Court and one of three intimate dining rooms--an
astonishing selection unsurpassed by other cruise lines.
With
Princess' new restaurant-style seating in the dining room, being
introduced aboard Grand Princess and Golden Princess and coming
soon to our entire fleet, you'll enjoy even more freedom and
flexibility. Now there's no need to cut your time short by the
pool, so that you can get to the dining room in time for your
fixed, pre-arranged seating. Just drop by the dining room whenever
you're ready and we'll be happy to seat you wherever you choose.
Feel like meeting new people? Want a romantic dinner for two?
Princess' friendly staff will accommodate you at a table seating
from two to ten.
To enjoy Princess' new Personal Choice Dining,
just let your travel agent know your preference at the time of
booking. If you enjoy the "traditional" Princess
experience with a set time of first or second seating at dinner,
this option will still be available to you. The choice is up to
you.
The following is a listing of approximate dining times around
which many of our passengers plan their day. Meal times may vary
by approximately 30 minutes. Please check the Patter or your
stateroom portfolio guide for correct meal times.

time for at home? Well, every Princess vacation does, thanks to
the professional beauty and health care experts that run our
salons and spas, offering everything from hair styling to facials,

aromatherapy, and much more.
Princess' exercise programs are equally diverse with gymnasiums
on all ships and their newer vessels boasting some of the most
lavish, ocean-view gyms afloat. The latest in equipment, aerobics
rooms, personal trainers, a range of classes throughout the day,
jogging tracks, sports courts and even a fresh juice bar round out
the fitness experience with Princess. Passengers can take part in
a variety of aerobics classes with great teachers and earn coupons
redeemable for Cruisercise logo merchandise available in the
shipboard boutique. Activities like Ping-Pong tournaments, pool
games and other events are also highlighted.
Survival Of The Fittest
"Cruisercise" is a great way to stay fit while you earn
"Cruisercise Cash" for every Cruisercise activity you
attend. Save your coupons and use them toward your purchase of
colorful "Cruisercise" T-shirts, sun visors and other
apparel offered in the shipboard boutique. Depending on your ship,
take your pick of stretch and tone, walk-a-mile, aquacise,
workouts in the gym and aerobics classes. Sports enthusiasts can
compete for medals and prizes in addition to earning "Cruisercise
Cash". Join ping pong and shuffleboard tournaments or get in
the swing with golf putting and chipping. Many of our ships also
offer sports courts including paddle tennis, volleyball and
basketball.
Taking A Dive
Learn to snorkel and/or scuba dive with professional, fully-
certified PADI instructors. Princess' "New Waves"
program is available on all seven day cruises to the Caribbean.
Under the guidance of the "New Waves" staff, you can get
your feet wet with snorkeling and scuba demonstrations, snorkeling
classes and tours and scuba tours for non-certified and certified
divers. You can even get a full or partial scuba certif- cation
during your cruise, if you register in advance of your cruise.

the pool. On most of our cruises, there are water volleyball and
basketball tournaments and a host of pool games. There's something
for everyone and prizes too. It's a wonderful way to meet your
fellow passengers and have a boatload of fun.

around the world to tee off. On 11-day cruises between Hawaii and
Tahiti, for instance, you can golf in every breathtaking Hawaiian
port. The blue waters of the Caribbean are complemented by as many
as nine different tropical "greens". And we also offer
simulated golf at "Princess Links" on Dawn, Sun, Sea and
Grand Princess; a nine-hole putting green on the Grand Princess,
plus golf packages or opportunities for independent play in New
Zealand, Mexico, the South Pacific and more.

varies but there's always plenty of choice. We make available

sailing, horseback riding and snorkeling.

Love
Boat Access
The Love
Boat Access project was initiated to raise the standards of cruise
ship access to a new level while keeping in mind the inherent
constraints and special considerations of a ship at sea. Princess
is proud to have the highest number of wheelchair accessible
staterooms in the industry. Doorways wide enough for most chairs,
rooms designed with wheelchair movement in mind, and bathrooms
featuring roll-in showers and hand-held detachable shower heads
are among the list of special accommodations.
Additionally, special wheelchair transportation gangway
mechanisms, ramps, and elevators with Braille call buttons as well
as audible arrival sounds are available aboard many or all of
their ships. Princess also has a supply of ADA "all in one
kits" including telephone amplifiers, visual smoke detectors,
door knocker sensors, text telephones and other aids for guests
with hearing impairment.
If there is additional information you require, please call us
and let us know and we will arrange it with Princess. Princess
sincerely hopes to be of service to you and they look forward to
welcoming you aboard.

Staying
Well At Sea
Princess'
medical facilities and the shipboard staff are perhaps the
finest at sea. With a highly-trained staff of doctors and nurses
and well-equipped shipboard medical centers stocked with oral and
injectable medications, you can rest assured that your health is
in good hands while onboard.
With at least three years post graduate medical training,
shipboard doctors are trained in primary care, advanced life
support, intravenous line placement and intubation, the use of
laryngeal masks and minor surgery. Each ship is equipped with cardiac monitors, defibrillators and
external cardiac pacemakers. They carry suction equipment, oxygen
saturation monitors, nebulizers for the treatment of asthma and
COPD, volumetric infusion pumps, oxygen concentrators and more.
Pharmacy medications are approved by the UK Committee on Safety
of Medicines and we have made arrangements with specialty medical
evacuation firms in various regions of the world for assistance
when far from home.

library stock twice a year to include the latest releases and to
