Princess Cruises has recently updated its tattoo policy for crew members, imposing stricter limitations on visible tattoos.

This change runs counter to the spirit of inclusivity, respect, and growth that Princess Cruises has long claimed to represent. Rather than embracing individuality, this policy diminishes the humanity of employees, treating them as faceless, nameless workers serving an imagined ideal of a “perfect” guest.

Anyone who spends even a few moments on deck can see that tattoos are common and widely accepted among our guests—nearly one in three adult passengers proudly display them. This begs the question: Who is this policy really for? It certainly isn’t for our guests.

Princess Cruises already prohibits offensive or inflammatory tattoos under its existing guidelines. The new restrictions are unnecessary, unfair, and harmful.

Those most affected will be crew members on deck and in dining services, who would be forced to purchase tattoo coverings at their own expense and wear them while working long hours in the oppressive heat of the Caribbean and Mediterranean. This is both impractical and disrespectful to the people who deliver the world-class service Princess is known for.

We call on Princess Cruises to immediately reverse these restrictive changes and reaffirm its commitment to treating crew members with dignity, respect, and fairness.

Sign this petition to demand that Princess Cruises recognize its crew as individuals—not just uniforms—and uphold the values of inclusivity it claims to represent.

Additionally here is a link to a google doc with a form email that you can copy and fill out to send to your on board HR director expressing your protest towards this changin policy.
