Yeah, they have offices here, but the ship's registration is usually outside 
the United States.

The ships are built in other countries but they do need to be registered in 
the US, like Norwegian, Royal Caribbean and many others have home offices 
either in Miami or other parts of FL.

  Well, I think I'd let the cruise line know about the dog guide, because 
most
  are not registered in the United States.

  I have a friend who went on a cruise, in January.  The cruise line put the
  box to relieve his dog on the balcony, outside their room.  The balcony, 
of
  course, is covered.  His dog wouldn't go, at all, for two days.  Then, as
  soon as they moved the box to a deck, where there was no roof above, the 
dog
  went and had no problem.

  I have never thought having the relief box in the cabin is a good idea.

  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
