Some people might remember when your non cruising friends and family were able to board your cruise ship with you to "send you off". Once the ship was ready to depart, they disembarked and you stayed on for your cruise. With all of the security measures imposed in the last few years, having guests board the ship to send you off was eliminated- until now.
Bon Voyage Program
Princess has revived an old tradition with a new program allowing passengers' friends and family to board their ship on embarkation day. Guests can enjoy a four-course lunch with wine, a ship tour, and a souvenir photo for $39 per person. This cost can be applied towards a future Princess cruise. The program debuts this month in the ports of Los Angeles and Fort Lauderdale and will then roll out to New York, San Francisco, and Seattle.
When I was on the Caribbean Princess (sailing out of NYC) a couple of weeks ago, there was a large group of people with BON VOYAGE tags in the dining room. We were wondering who they were and now we know. They only problem with this program is that Princess may find that the guests don't want to leave!
