Creator's Key Takeaways
We'll show you behind the scenes how it went for us and what you could expect.
We were really keen to find out if this new vision for Princess has worked.
The dome is a real showstopper. It's atmospheric. It's pretty and almost unique as a facility at sea.
Our suggestion is pick a cabin far away from the central patza, the central atrium.
