Creator's Key Takeaways

Dis specialty restaurants are not just a meal. It's an experience well worth the new prices.

To each his own, but to me, there's no meal on this planet worth $145.

Princess has priced us out of both their specialty and casual dining about 10 cruises ago with them.

I love you can choose what kind of entertainment you want to go to, how much time you want to spend by the pool, which part of the ship you want to enjoy the most.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Make sure you have travel insurance for excursions and unexpected situations.
Consider booking excursions with the cruise line or independently based on your preferences.
Take advantage of the flexibility in dining, entertainment, and activities on a cruise.
