Pro Tips From Creators
The most-shared advice for Chris Frame the Maritime Historian.
If you can, get your Princess Medallion mailed to you before travel to avoid longer check-in times at the dock.
Don't be blown by the hype of mega-ships; smaller ships (90k-100k tons) often provide a more luxurious and less crowded experience.
Look for the 'sweet spot' in ship size to avoid the 'Disneyland' experience of constant queuing.
The less you pay, the less disappointed you're going to be.
Dietary control prior to a dive is very important; don't eat for six hours beforehand.
Ensure regular detailed inspections of safety-critical seawater pipes to detect hidden corrosion.
Implement thorough safety management systems for routine examination of critical equipment.
If you're planning on a cruise in 2026 or 2027 in Brazil and you speak Portuguese, keep an eye out for Buena Vista.
