LC1950 Posted August 23 Author #6 Share Posted August 23 Thank you @boeckli but the address you offered no longer "works". LOL just got an email bounce-back. Oh well, onward and upward. I've got my Princess Cruise Planner on the job so hopefully she can come up with something. I've got the totally biodegradable "container" with official certificate, etc., already organised so fingers crossed this will happen. Thank you so very much for your speedy reply. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you can get it sorted. That email address still comes up on a search of Princess's website as well . Maybe try again a bit later when it's working hours over in the States.

Rare arxcards Posted August 24 #9 Share Posted August 24 NSW law says you need permission from the master of the vessel, so you can't just rock-up and do a DIY. Princess will make it feel special, and as mentioned above, they do cater for it. The 2nd subject down in the FAQ also lists that email address. https://www.princess.com/en-au/faq/onboard-experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LC1950 Posted August 24 Author #11 Share Posted August 24 I've just received an acknowledgement email from Princess so it looks like my request will go into their "system". Thank you @arxcards and @boeckli for your help. Much appreciated. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
