Creator's Key Takeaways

We're going to share some tips, things that we do every single cruise that really squeeze the amount of time that we get to spend on vacation.

Make sure that you use the Princess app to its full capacity. So, book those dining reservations before you board the ship.

There's two lines at dinner every single night. It's people with reservations and people without. And there's a definite difference in how fast you move through those lines.

If you're looking to carve out a workout, those are usually the two best times to go.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Use the Princess app to book dining reservations and shore excursions before boarding.
βœ“Check the Princess Patter daily to plan your next day's activities.
βœ“Go to the gym early morning or early afternoon to avoid crowds.
βœ“Use alternative coffee bars instead of the crowded International Cafe.
βœ“Visit the adult-only pool or port days for quieter pool time.
