chipfixer Posted August 26, 2012 #1 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Has anyone been able to print return flight boarding pass the day before while still at sea? I called Princess and the agent said NO. I am wondering because others have said they were able to print theirs Is this something new? I have printed passes before on other cruises....:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted August 26, 2012 #2 Share Posted August 26, 2012 You will probably find more info on the Princess board. Personally, I suspect the Princess rep didn't know what they were talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mapsmith Posted August 26, 2012 #3 Share Posted August 26, 2012 And you can always print your boarding passes at the kiosks at the airport. They are actually more numerous than Ticketing agents at the airport anymore. All you need is your record locator number which is usually the same as your flight to the cruise port was.

Dietemann Posted August 26, 2012 #4 Share Posted August 26, 2012 You can print your boarding pass on a Princess ship, just have to buy some internet time and there is a small charge per print job. Don't know the cost, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted August 26, 2012 #5 Share Posted August 26, 2012 You can print it out 24hrs prior to flight just like you have always done. We usually get an e-mail notification from the airlines which makes it easy to print onboard. PCL should be no different than any other cruiselines once you pay for their internet minutes.

Rare Keith1010 Posted August 26, 2012 #6 Share Posted August 26, 2012 You were given incorrect information. You just have to pay for the internet and you can print it from the ship. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted August 26, 2012 #7 Share Posted August 26, 2012 So many reps working for all the cruise lines do not always give correct information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flamomo Posted August 26, 2012 #9 Share Posted August 26, 2012 When one thinks of the sheer volume of information that Princess agents would have to have to answer all the questions about every aspect of cruising on Princess ships, it's easy to imagine that they might just not know everything!! Particularly if they themselves have never been on a Princess cruise. JMO As to printing boarding passes onboard .... I have always been able to when needed. I make sure to save some internet minutes for that purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisyloo Posted August 26, 2012 #10 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Yes you can print it out on a Princess ship. I never used the internet onboard until the last full day and I went on just to print off the boarding pass. I think it cost me less than $10.00 which was added to my onboard account. I like having it done before I get to the airport so it was worth the cost to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TracieABD Posted August 26, 2012 #11 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Yes you can print down in the Internet cafe. I think that it costs a dollar a page to print, once you have accessed and paid for the Internet. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanJ Posted August 26, 2012 #12 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Not sure if they still do, but Princess used to advertise a special 15 minute package on the last day just for this purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmom Posted August 27, 2012 #13 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Yes you can print boarding passes out if you wish to at the internet cafe, just as everyone has advised you. However, if you are checking luggage, you can always have them printed out when checking in your luggage. I usually do the check in for our flights in the night before we fly out but don't bother with printing out the boarding passes, since we always have luggage to check anyway. There is an extra charge for printing anything, so I figured why add that charge in addition to all the other misc charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamomo Posted August 27, 2012 #14 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I have never had to pay a fee to print my boarding pass for my flight home. The last time was in March of this year, so unless something has changed since then ........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the last 2 times I cruised on Princess, we paid for printing. Granted, it's been over 4 years, so maybe it's changed since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug S Posted August 27, 2012 #16 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I know for SWA at least you don't have to actually print them. Go to the site and check in. The boarding pass/check in slip will be on the screen. It is assigned to your confirmation #. When you go to check in / check baggage at the airport the agent can print it for you. If you had boarding #A25 when you checked in online, that's still the number that will print at the ticket counter. Really more of a check in than grabbing a boarding pass if you are going to the counter to check bags anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
