Creator's Key Takeaways

I enjoyed my time on board Princess Cruises more than anticipated.

Princess Plus, while not the most inclusive package, provides a well-rounded selection of amenities for less than what Carnival charges for their drink package.

The Medallion Class technology is unmatched.

I was blown away by the dining on Sun Princess.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Consider upgrading to Princess Premiere for the most inclusive experience.

✓Use the Medallion Class app to order food and drinks from anywhere on board.

✓Explore Princess's wider variety of itineraries for more destination options.
