Creator's Key Takeaways

Our first 24 hours on this cruise ship was pretty amazing to say the least.

We had an emergency medical evacuation, flight evacuation. A helicopter's coming and it's going to airlift somebody out of here.

It was a little bit of an explosion in the oven. It was definitely a fire but it caused a lot of smoke.

We are currently in port because the ship cannot leave the dock. Extremely high winds are preventing us from leaving Sydney, Nova Scotia.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you're a casino player, note that the casino is very small with older-style machines.
Consider getting the Princess Plus package for better internet speed.
