Princess Cruises for seniors

Princess Cruises: the rules, from Princess Cruises's own pages

Dress code

Casual most nights, with a number of formal dining nights

On formal nights the dress code is observed: evening gowns, cocktail dresses, tuxedos, suits, or a dinner jacket with slacks.

Wrinkle-free fabric is recommended for packing.

The page we read is Princess's packing guide, so we have not recorded the venue-by-venue rule.

Daily gratuities

Crew Appreciation, charged daily by stateroom category

Suites: $20.00 USD per person per day. Mini Suites, Cabanas and Reserve Collection: $19.00. All other stateroom types: $18.00.

The amount is added automatically to your onboard account.

You may adjust it at your discretion at any time during the cruise, but only before you disembark. It is not refundable after the cruise.
