YouTube Video Description↓

In this video I review the suite experience on Princess Cruises and explore how it compares with other cruise lines, including The Haven on Norwegian Cruise Line, The Retreat on Celebrity Cruises, and a Neptune Suite on Holland America Line. I also explore how the suite experience is different from the Sanctuary Collection experience on Princess' new Sphere Class ships (Sun Princess and Star Princess). #suitelife #princesscruises My review of the Haven experience on NCL: https://youtu.be/SU0l9_1YsEI My full review of Enchanted Princess: https://youtu.be/V6lFyiTH5uc My full review of Sun Princess: https://youtu.be/Zgi2Qp1u7yQ 💬 SOCIALS Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thechillcruiser Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_chill_cruiser/ 🛳️ OTHER ENCHANTED PRINCESS VIDEOS Ship review: https://youtu.be/V6lFyiTH5uc Enclave thermal suite tour: https://youtu.be/uXiqBl1O_OQ Review of The Sanctuary sun deck: https://youtu.be/ARQv3D1cc78 Casino tour: https://youtu.be/9ExXTNpkNtE Balcony cabin tour: https://youtu.be/U3D8cLA4-ls Interior cabin tour: https://youtu.be/WESOtbvkgfI Minisuite cabin tour: https://youtu.be/5dvfXuz0BeI Vista Suite cabin tour: https://youtu.be/oMi4Yn3-S6k Penthouse Suite cabin tour: https://youtu.be/qLXh0N-kcYE 📘 CHAPTERS 00:00 Start 01:35 Suite Access Perks 02:31 Suite Amenities & Concierge 05:58 Suite Cabins (Vista Suite, Penthouse Suite) 08:10 Suite Dining 09:33 Final Verdict
