When can I print my boarding pass for Princess Cruises?

There will be many things that you can do while logged in to the “Cruise Personalizer” system. Your Boarding Pass and Luggage tags will be available to print immediately after you have completed your Guest Registration (Check-in).



For a Princess Cruises voyage in 2026, you can typically access and print your boarding pass (now part of the "OceanReady" process) once you have completed your digital check-in on the Princess MedallionClass app. This check-in process usually opens several weeks before departure, but you must have submitted all required Advanced Passenger Information (API), including passport details, travel insurance, and security photos, before the boarding pass becomes available. Princess has moved primarily to electronic boarding passes with a QR code stored in the app, but you can also print a physical copy or your luggage tags through the "My Princess" personalizer on their website up until 24 hours before embarkation. To "expedite" your boarding and enter the "Green Lane" at the port, you must complete all these steps and have your Medallion shipped to your home (available in select regions) or ready for pickup. It is highly recommended to have your boarding pass saved to your digital wallet to ensure access even without a data connection at the terminal.
