## Families, adults-only areas, and practical information

Checked: 2026-07-03

### Children and families

- Camp Discovery: The Tree House / The Lodge / The Beach House — The free Camp Discovery program for children and teens, comprising three age-group facilities: The Treehouse for ages 3–7, The Lodge for ages 8–12, and The Beach House for ages 13–17. A paid nursery exclusively for infants and toddlers could not be confirmed.

### Adults-only areas

- The Sanctuary — An adults-only retreat on Deck 18 with private lounge chairs, a dedicated bar, and outdoor massages (paid). It provides a quiet space and is not exclusive to full-suite guests; other guests can also use it with a paid day pass. Additional private cabanas are available.
- Princess Casino — A casino with slot machines and table games, operating only in international waters. It is one of the few areas onboard where smoking is permitted.

### Practical information (line-wide)

| Item | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Onboard currency | USD |
| Gratuities | Charged automatically to your onboard account for each day under the name "Crew Appreciation." Prepayment is also possible. Guests on Standard fares are charged automatically every day, but the amount can be adjusted at Guest Services (it cannot be abolished, but you can ask to increase or reduce it). If you have purchased the Princess Plus or Princess Premier package, this Crew Appreciation is included in the package price and is not billed separately. Also, from March 2026 the service charge on food and beverage purchases was raised from 18% to 20%. |
| Payment | Cashless onboard |
| Voltage | 110V/60Hz (North American specification is standard; on some ships, 220V European sockets are also provided) |
| Formal nights | They are scheduled according to cruise length, at roughly 1 for every 4 to 6 nights. Short cruises of 1 to 4 days have none; typically there is 1 for 5 to 6 days and about 2 for 7 to 13 days. |
| Medical facilities | Doctors and nurses are on board 24 hours a day, but the doctors are independent contractors and consultations are charged. As a guide, a consultation during regular hours is said to cost around $100, after-hours visits more ($165 or so), and cabin visits more still (about $205) in some cases. Travel insurance cannot be used directly on board; the charge is first billed to your onboard account, and after disembarking you submit the receipt to your own insurer to claim a refund. |
| Bringing items onboard | Each passenger aged 21 or over (the legal drinking age) may bring only 1 bottle (750 ml) of wine or champagne on board, and no corkage fee is charged for drinking it in your cabin. Bringing beer and spirits is prohibited, and they are confiscated if found. A corkage fee of $20 per bottle applies for additional bottles brought on board or for bottles opened in public areas such as restaurants, regardless of the number of bottles. Alcohol purchased at ports of call or in duty-free shops is held by the ship until the day of disembarkation. |
| Mobile and connectivity | With "Cellular at Sea," which uses satellite communication (via Wireless Maritime Services), regular mobile phone use is possible at sea if your carrier has a roaming agreement. However, maritime roaming tends to be expensive at about $2 to $6 per MB, so it is advisable to check in advance whether your carrier offers a package for sea cruises. If you subscribe to MedallionNet Wi-Fi, you can use data-based calling apps such as WhatsApp, FaceTime Audio and Wi-Fi calling, and going through Wi-Fi is a realistic alternative if you want to keep communication costs down. |
