Creator's Key Takeaways

The Ruby Princess, as we hear all too often, is having an outbreak of norovirus.

The medallions are no longer magnetic.

Princess has also reintroduced embarkation time selections through the app.

I really wish that they would bring back all the options that they had when they first introduced the Medallion.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Wash your hands thoroughly to prevent norovirus, as hand sanitizer does not kill it.
Select your embarkation time in the Princess app 30 days before sailing to avoid delays.
Be conscientious about touching surfaces to reduce illness risk.

YouTube Video Description

Today we're discussing several important updates affecting Princess Cruises guests. 🚢 Ruby Princess is dealing with a Norovirus outbreak that has resulted in deep cleaning procedures while guests remain onboard. 🚢 Princess Medallions are no longer magnetic, and many cruisers are wondering what that means for how they use and store their Medallions. 🚢 Princess has also reintroduced embarkation time selections through the app, and cruisers are reporting different experiences depending on the port. We'll also talk about hand washing, staying healthy onboard, and whether some of these changes improve the cruise experience—or take away some of the benefits many cruisers have enjoyed for years. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
