IN-STATEROOM AMENITIES
The little extras you find in the best hotels — fresh fruit (by request), evening bed turn-down, chocolates on your pillow, complimentary shampoo, conditioner and body lotion — are provided in every stateroom. Waffle weave cloth bathrobes are available upon request from your stateroom steward for your comfort and convenience. For those of you who wish to enjoy a relaxing drink in the privacy of your stateroom, bottles of liquor and stateroom bar packages are available for purchase at non-duty-free prices through room service or from designated bar locations. Click here to download our menu of offerings.

Mini-suites include a welcome glass of champagne, two televisions, a sitting area and a spacious closet, while full suites offer all of these premiums plus amenities such as a DVD/CD player and free access to a DVD library. Full suite passengers also enjoy complimentary web access in the Internet Café, laundry and dry cleaning, use of the Lotus Spa® Thermal Suite (on select ships), one-time free mini-bar setup and use of our Disembarkation Lounge.

Each stateroom has other luxuries for your convenience, such as a private safe and refrigerator. In addition, each room is equipped with a 110-volt, 60-cycle alternating current (AC) with standard U.S. plug fittings. Please ask your stateroom steward to check your appliances for suitability before use if you have any questions. All ships are equipped with an electric hair dryer in every stateroom.

TV PROGRAMMING*
Getting away from it all doesn't mean being out of touch. Every stateroom on Princess ships has its own TV set featuring our multi-channel Princess Overseas Television programming.* We offer live satellite reception of CNN, ESPN International, TNT, Turner Classic Movies, Cartoon Network and Boomerang where satellite coverage permits. Along with a movie channel featuring a wide selection of first-run movies, we also provide the latest sitcoms and dramas, an onboard version of the Discovery Channel, and a wide selection of special programming, including the Academy Awards®. Plus, for sports fans, we offer several major sporting events such as the Super Bowl®, BCS college bowl games, NBA Finals and the NCAA basketball tournament. Closed captioning is available on most Princess ships; please check with the Passenger Services Desk for information.

* Ship television programming is not guaranteed at all times due to the nature of satellite communications, which are subject to itinerary and possible disruption from weather patterns and various obstructions. Also, Internet access via satellite is significantly slower than high-speed connections on shore.

PASSPORT TO VALUE
Enjoy great savings on products and services onboard with our complimentary Passport to Value booklet. This handy item — worth up to $500 in total savings — can be found in your stateroom mailbox upon arrival. It offers substantial discounts on tax- and duty-free shopping, spa treatments, fine art, photo services and more. Plus, every time you redeem a participating Passport to Value coupon, you'll be entered to win a crystal replica of a Princess ship — a $275 value — in our Passport to Value Sweepstakes. The more coupons you use, the more chances you'll have to win!

ART AUCTION PROGRAM
You will have a unique opportunity to view and purchase pieces of fine art from a wide range of artists during our onboard auctions. Art Directors are available throughout the cruise to answer your questions about the onboard art collection. At the end of your sailing, Princess will arrange to have your artwork framed, packaged and shipped to your home.

BOUTIQUES ONBOARD
Shop our Boutiques Onboard for the perfect gifts to remember your cruise vacation. We offer incredible tax- and duty-free savings off suggested U.S. retail prices on fragrances, cosmetics, jewelry, gifts, apparel, accessories and liquor. In addition to our everyday savings, we bring you special promotions throughout the cruise. Once onboard, please check the Princess Patter calendar for times and locations of these exciting events.

PHOTOGRAPHY
Photographs taken throughout the cruise by our team of professional photographers are available for purchase in our shipboard photo gallery and shop. For a truly special souvenir, have a portrait taken on a formal night. You can also purchase a video produced on your cruise — a wonderful keepsake of your dream vacation. Quality film processing is available using state-of-the-art equipment, as are frames and photo albums in which to display your new memories. You will also find advanced digital imaging services, memory card downloads, and CD-burning services.

LIBRARY
Onboard each of our ships, we've created a library that includes contemporary and classic titles, as well as books related to specific cruise itineraries. You'll find subjects on art, history, sports, travel, health and wellness, natural history and reference materials. And, we also have a fine selection of fiction and biographies. Princess onboard libraries have collections of up to 2,000 books, as well as Internet stations and music listening chairs. Read your Princess Patter for library hours and other information.

Do the interior rooms have an ironing board and iron?

No, not in room, most ships have on each deck a laundromat with washers, dryers, ironing boards and irons!!

Passengers are asked not to bring irons onboard. You shouldn't have a problem being able to use the iron in the laundry rooms during most of the day and evening. A major advantage for us is the ability to do our own laundry which cuts down on how much clothing we need to pack. And we can use our own allergen free detergent.

We also love the little mini-fridges.

Do the suites have Tea/ Coffee making facilities as on some other cruise liines??
