Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Paul and Carole Love to Travel.

  1. Book cruises well in advance to secure better prices and preferred cabins.

  2. Watch multiple websites and travel agents rather than relying on just one.

  3. Plan for downtime during port-intensive cruises to avoid burnout.

  4. Always bring insulated water bottles as cabin fridges may be removed.

  5. If you dine at Sindhu, consider sticking to the starters and main courses rather than the desserts.

  6. Use the Princess app to see what is happening around the ship, or use the paper version delivered to your cabin.

  7. Take long charging cables (over 3m) because outlets aren't always near the bed.

  8. Pack Apple AirTags to track luggage.
