Creator's Key Takeaways

stunning scenery relaxing onboard venues but a nightmare four-hour embarkation

I've been really fortunate to experience more than 30 cruises with most of the major lines

the embarkation nightmare until princess handled it was a sign of things to come

overall Majestic is a great physical ship it's just unfortunate that princess seems to have lost its way

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓plan around one and a half to two hours for each port to get on and off the ship and shuttle into town

✓check out the three other staffed entrances if you see a lineup in one main dining room entrance

✓pack a lot of patience if traveling in a large group on Princess

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

long lineups and wait times — budget extra time for port transfers and dining; use alternative dining room entrances
