Princess’s new practice is back to the future

Tuesday, 11 Feb, 2010 0

Steering a course popular in the past, Princess Cruise’s new wrinkle is a program to give passengers a chance to invite friends and family aboard on embarkation day to wish them “bon voyage.”
 

The California-based cruise line also adds the experience gives guests a “taste” of cruising.
 

“Unique in the cruise industry, the Bon Voyage Experience enables passengers to extend an invitation to their guests to join them onboard…for a four-course dining room lunch with wine, a ship tour and even a souvenir photo,” the cruise line says in a press release.
 

Because of increasingly tighter security procedures, the practice of inviting guests on board disappeared more than two decades ago, says Princess.
 

The program’s cost is $39 per person. It will debut in March in the ports of Los Angeles and Fort Lauderdale, then on to New York, San Francisco and Seattle.
 

Princess Cruises is a global cruise and tour company operating a fleet of 17 modern ships best-known for their innovative design and array of choices in dining, entertainment and amenities.
