On the majority of our cruises, you will be required to identify and clear your luggage through customs. As you leave the ship, you will be directed by Princess representatives to the luggage claim area. As many bags are similar in appearance, please check each luggage tag to ensure you are claiming your own luggage.
Due to U.S. and local customs restrictions, guests may not leave the ship until all luggage is off-loaded. Disembarkation will begin once the ship has received clearance from the local authorities. You will be notified within the MedallionClass® app when it is time for you to disembark. You may then make your way to the gangway.
For further customs information, we recommend that you attend the Cruise Director's disembarkation talk given during the last days of the cruise.
If you have purchased a Princess ship-to-airport transfer, Cruise Plus Hotel Package or are participating on a cruisetour, you will be directed by uniformed Princess representatives to the transfer departure point.
Depending on flight schedules, Princess Cruises in its discretion will arrange either a transfer to the airport for your homeward flight, use of facilities at a first class hotel or a local sightseeing tour as appropriate. The disembarkation arrangements set out in the brochured itineraries will be operated should the flight schedules require them. These arrangements are at Princess Cruises discretion and may be subject to change.
If your friends or relatives are meeting you at the pier, please be advised that disembarkation may take up to four hours after the scheduled arrival of the ship in order to clear immigration and customs.

Princess Cruises makes every effort to reunite items left behind or lost during a cruise with their rightful owners. Unfortunately, not all items are identifiable.
If you lost or left behind personal property, please complete a lost item report. Once the report is complete, it will be automatically uploaded into our lost item tracking system.
Rest assured we will make every effort to find your item. As items are all shipped to our main office in Santa Clarita from all over the world, it takes time for us to receive found items and match them to loss reports. Your patience during this process is appreciated. You will hear from us shortly. Shipping fees to return items left behind will apply.
By clicking select link above, you will leave the Princess Cruises website and navigate to a 3rd party website that is not owned, operated, or controlled by Princess Cruises or any of its affiliates.
