You can use a Princess transfer if you don't book your hotel through Princess, but you'll have to go back to the airport the day of your cruise to meet the transfer. Princess can give you instructions as to when/where to meet the Princess rep at the airport.

Another option would be purchasing the Princess transfers, staying at an airport hotel with free shuttle to/from the airport, flying in the night before and then going back to the airport on the day of the cruise to meet up with the Princess transfer.
