“She's just fantastic.”
“The tragedy began 10 days into the voyage. On April 11, a Dutch passenger died on board the ship.”
“i was actually blocked by you know instagram and facebook for breaching their community policy by reporting too many fake accounts”
“What was meant to be a rare voyage through the South Atlantic Ocean has turned into a significant medical emergency.”

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.
