Creator's Key Takeaways

The Princess Transfer is just a normal big bus, and they will pick you up and take you from the airport or from a Princess hotel to the ports just as an easy way to get to the ship.

They meet you at baggage claim and then they take your luggage from you there and you don't see your luggage again until it shows up in your stateateroom.

I think this is um my 13th cruise with Princess and um this is the first time that a transfer did not show up.

They always have more than one. They've got their clipboard. They've got your name and that you have paid for it and on there.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Fly in the day before your cruise to ensure you make the shuttle transfer.
βœ“Call Princess directly if the transfer option doesn't appear online during booking.
βœ“Take a screenshot or print your travel summary to show proof of payment if needed.
βœ“Check in with the Princess representative by 10:00 a.m. to avoid missing the shuttle.
