Creator's Key Takeaways

I absolutely loved the sanctuary club pool. That was very clear for me.

The crew were absolutely amazing. We could not have wanted for anything.

I will definitely be looking to do another Sanctuary Collection cruise experience in the future.

This was the only time when we got to the end of the cruise, I had a zero balance, owed absolutely nothing for my cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Take family photos early as they are included in the Premier package.
βœ“Order the waffles at the Sanctuary Club Poolβ€”they are delicious.
βœ“Use the dine line for specialty dining reservations if booking is challenging.

YouTube Video Description↓

We upgraded our recent Princess cruise to Sanctuary Collection, and honestly, we wondered if it would be worth it. Princess Cruises Santuary Collection is only available on Star Princess & Sun Princess, so it's pretty exclusive. We splurged a little for our annual family cruise, & this is our honest review of our Star Princess cruise in what might be referred to as Princess' "Ship Within a Ship" experience. While not to be compared with other cruise lines, this cruise video shares what to expect & what is included in Sanctuary Collection on your Princess Cruise. In this cruise vlog I share our mini-suite cabin, as well as our opinions on dining, entertainment & more. You'll also discover the Sanctuary Pool & Sanctuary Restaurant, as well as information about the Princess Premier Package, which is included with Sanctuary Collection bookings. I also share our Caribbean cruise itinerary & what we did in each cruise port.
