Interesting fact: One in four guests who sail with Princess Cruises is celebrating a special occasion.  Not a big surprise there, Princess is known as the line of the Love Boat.  But now the cruise line is making it even easier to turn “Sailabrations” into lasting memories with new packages and convenient online ordering.

Past guests of Princess Cruises know a whole lot of customization can be done to their bookings via the line’s Cruise Personalizer.  Online registration, boarding passes and luggage tags are all available there.  Researching and booking shore excursions, spa treatments and more; all possible via the easy-to-use online resource.  Now, Princess Cruises is offering savings of up to 25 percent off of retail prices on“Sailabration” packages via the new Princess online gifting webpage.    Some of the new Celebration packages include:
