Creator's Key Takeaways

We had completely wrong opinions about Princess Cruises. And this 11-day journey around Japan completely changed our minds.

This might be the best pizza we've had on any cruise. And no joke, our favorite move. Grab a slice, head to the hot tub, order a margarita on the app.

Here's the game changer when it comes to Princess, and that is the medallion technology. This thing is awesome, and every cruise line should be using it.

This was our first Princess Cruise, and it won't be our last. We let other people's opinions stop us from trying it sooner, and that was certainly a mistake.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book the Princess Plus package for the best value at sea.
Use the medallion technology for hands-free convenience.
Plan for port-heavy itineraries and maximize time exploring.
