Alaska and Canada Sea Princess

ONBOARD SEA PRINCESS
Stylish and friendly, Sea Princess epitomises versatility as, more than any other, she offers greater freedom and choice. She offers an extensive range of entertainment conveniently located close together providing plenty of opportunity for passengers to mingle with like-minded adults.

INTRODUCING A REVOLUTION IN CRUISE DINING
Welcome to a new dining experience in cruising. One that gives you the freedom to choose where, when, and with whom you wish to dine. On Princess, you are offered a variety of choices. In fact, on some ships there are up to nine different dining options to choose from. And, more importantly, you can select a seating option that's based on your schedule.

WHICH DINING CHOICE DO YOU PREFER?
In the main dining rooms, there are two options for dinner: Traditional Fixed Seating and Anytime DiningSM. If you enjoy the traditional option of having the same table partners and waiters throughout your cruise, select Traditional Fixed Seating. This dining option features award winning Princess cuisine and offers a choice of two seating times, 6:30 p.m. or 8:30 p.m.

When you select Anytime Dining, you choose your dining style-whether you prefer to dine alone or with newfound friends-anytime between 5:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. This option features the same award winning cuisine as the Traditional Fixed Seating.

Whichever dining option you choose, you'll enjoy the same delectable menus and follow the same dress code in the dining rooms each night. Traditional Fixed Seating or Anytime Dining? The choice is yours. Simply let your travel agent know your preference when you book your cruise.

AFTERNOON TEA
Enjoy the time-honored custom of afternoon tea with finger sandwiches, pastries, scones, cookies, music and whiteglove service. It's the perfect interlude between sunning and swimming out on deck and a star-studded evening at sea. Enjoy your choice of a wide selection of premium teas— from Earl Grey to your favorite herbal infusion. And of course there's coffee if you prefer. The choice is up to you.

When you cruise on Princess you'll find completely equipped Youth and Teen Centers. There's everything from arts and crafts corners, games tables, movies, and splash pools to Teen Centers with ping-pong tables, juke boxes, and all the latest video games.*

Toddlers' are even offered a play area, special outdoor deck area, splash pool, and video games. Teens have their own "Off Limits" special hideouts: Cyberspace, The Fast Lane, and Wired are guaranteed to give them the time of their lives. In addition to all these features, kids on Grand and Golden Princess will also enjoy their own deck space with a whale's tail splash pool. And teens have a separate jacuzzi and deck area just for them.

All Youth and Teen Centers are fully supervised by staff of Youth Activities Coordinators.
