Creator's Key Takeaways

I've cruised with P and O Cruises, Royal Caribbean, Princess Cruises, and more.

The buffet was the best I've had on any cruise.

The service on Sky Princess was the best I've had on any cruise.

Princess do accessibility really well and this was something I really appreciated traveling with my mom who uses a mobility scooter.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“If you're doing DIY excursions, allow loads of time to avoid missing the ship.
βœ“If you need accessible seating in the theater, arrive ahead of time as it fills up early.
