plwilliams Posted November 10, 2004 #1 Share Posted November 10, 2004 This will be our first cruise with Princess after four with Celebrity. We've always been able to board early, between 11 - 11:30 am, for a 5pm sailing. About what time can we expect to start boarding the Island Princess for a 5pm sailing? Also, has anyone come across a review of the Island Princess 15 day Hawaii cruises? I've looked and found nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plwilliams Posted November 11, 2004 Author #3 Share Posted November 11, 2004 That's gerat news, thanks for replying. Though this is our first Princess cruise, there is a "Platinum Check-in" sticker on our documents, I assume because we have a mini-suite (????), so hopefully we can get on at 11:30 as well. How was your cruise? Have you posted a review any where? We're really looking forward to trying Princess for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kking0002 Posted November 11, 2004 #4 Share Posted November 11, 2004 We just did the 15 day Hawaiian cruise that left on 10/21. It was great. We also had Platinum check in because we were in a mini suite. When we arrived the Platinum line was a shorter than the regular line, and it didn't take long to get on the ship. We really enjoyed the cruise. The ship is just immaculate. I was worried about being at sea so long, but honestly we both loved it. It was so relaxing. The five port days all in a row are exhausting, so the return trip was a great way to unwind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flowy Posted November 11, 2004 #5 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Another post indicated that the casino is closed while touring thru Hawaii. Is that true :( Thanks, Fran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kking0002 Posted November 11, 2004 #6 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Yes, the casino is closed the entire time you are in Hawaii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GloriaF Posted November 11, 2004 #7 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Just for clarification, the casino is required by law to close when in US waters. The 'gambling ships" that go out for the evening from US ports must go out 3 miles before the games begin. Or so I'm told.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
