To take your bike on a Princess cruise ship to Alaska will most likely allow you some sort of freedom for moving around when you should arrive at certain ports of call.
Instead of being obligated to hire a car or any other way of transportation, you can practically hop on your bike and tour the area with not worries whatsoever.
The easiest possible way for doing this is to practically have your own bike to be shipped via Princess` Luggage Valet service.
This is a service that will take care of your bike to/from airport when it will be headed to the cruise destination.
Below are some small guidelines which should help you on this matter.
1.
Make a schedule for the Princess Luggage Valet service so someone from there can come and pick up the bike box.
You can do that by simply making a call at (800) 399 7350 or mail sending an e-mail.
Since their service is always a subject of availability, their staff will be able to inform you whether or not there will be adequate room for your bike on the cruise so they can be able to send it through their Luggage Valet service.
Their staff will then arrange for your bike to be picked up and then shipped via DHL, and then you will be informed about the date when you can pick up your bike.
This type of arrangements must be done at least 35 days before your date of departure.
Your bike will most likely be picked up not more than a week before the cruise.
Also, you will most certainly do not need to offer your credit card info upon making the reservation, because the cost of such a service is less than $90 anyway.
2.
Try to obtain a bike box.
Most of the shops that sell bikes will also offer cardboard bike boxes in which their bikes come in, so you can start asking around you with a few weeks prior the date you wish to ship your bike.
Try to make sure though that your bike box will be the right size for your own bike; if you should have a 25 inch bike, make certain to use a 25 inch or even large bike box.
Another way will be to buy a hard shell bike case so you can better protect your bike during its transportation.
For an even better protection, you should check out TricoSports.

Now you can place the bike into the box, along with its shipping insert which was most likely e-mailed to you by now from Princess Cruise Lines.
Follow all the instructions so you can have your bike being shipped to the embarkation point of your cruise.
4.
Pick up the bike in your own stateroom on the same day you will leave for your most desired Alaska cruise.
