Princess Cruises to allow non-cruisers aboard ships on departure day
Published Thursday, February 11th 2010 - Updated Thursday, February 11th 2010 
Princess Cruises will be starting a new program in March which will allow non-cruisers to board ships on departure day. This gives them the opportunity of coming onboard to wish their friends and family a "bon voyage." This was a common practice which stopped more than twenty years ago as security procedures tightened.
Princess says visitors who sign up for the new program will get a four-course dining room lunch with wine on the ship, a tour of the vessel and a souvenir photo. They and their passenger friends/family will have access to priority embarkation. A charge of $39 for the four-hour experience can be applied to a future Princess cruise.
The program will debut in March in the ports of Los Angeles and Fort Lauderdale, and later to New York, San Francisco and Seattle. Princess says passengers will be notified about the program through the pre-cruise emails they receive from the line as their cruise date approaches. In-port visits can be booked through a travel agent or by calling Princess beginning 120 days before a cruise and up to six days before the sailing date.
