[Travelandtourism] Dog Guide on Princess Cruise

[cheryl echevarria]

Princess is usually good about guide dogs in fact all of the cruise lines are good, I would let them know in case you want the option of having a box in your room if it is big enough. If you are going with a group of guide dog users than they usually offer an area of the ship for this purpose, similar to what Norwegian is doing for us.

I would contact your travel agent, If you used one they can contact princess for you. Normally traveling within the US you don't need to inform anyone of traveling with a guide dog, but when traveling with one via Plane, Boat, etc. I would my own feelings on this one.


Being a guide dog user myself, I have let the airlines know so that I can get a comfortable place for both dog and myself, but again, my own feelings.  Others do not though.

  You might also want to let the Princess Cruise people know that you're 
  bringing your dog.  If you've never been on a cruise before, you'll need to 
  work with them to find an acceptable place for him to relieve.  Don't let 
  them try to put a box in your room.  We've even had companies suggest the 
  dog go in the shower and then wash it away.  That's also not a good idea. 
  Suggest a place, out of the traffic path of most passengers, but outside, on 
  deck.

  Hi,

  I am scheduled to go on a Princess cruise in about 12 days.  Can anyone
  please tell me what steps I need to take, what I can expect if I bring my
  dog, and what documentation I will need?  It is a Caribbean cruise leaving
  from fort Lauderdale.  I am leaving from Canada.  I would be grateful for
  any help.  In fact, I am in the process of deciding whether to bring him; I
  would truly miss him.

  Thanks,



  Richard
