Creator's Key Takeaways

I've never been on board. I've done zero research. I do know, however, there are pools on deck 17 and maybe a bar.

That is otherworldly amaze balls. Don't eat the balls.

I've got a standard inside cabin. It should know I'm approaching because of my medallion.

Highly recommend. Love by Breito.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Download the Princess app and complete check-in virtually in advance.
โœ“Arrive at least one day before your cruise if flying independently.
โœ“Use the ship's Wi-Fi for free to access the app and watch the safety video.
โœ“Wear your medallion to navigate the ship, make purchases, and unlock your stateroom door.

I just sailed the world's NEWEST CRUISE ship, Star Princess!* In this episode I'll talk you through the check-in, boarding and muster processes (here, in Fort Lauderdale), how the Princess App can assist, what the Medallion is and how it will work for you, first impressions of the ship and my stateroom, how I aced the first day on board, reviewing some of the outdoor / indoor venues, starting to look at dining options, menus and review the food (today, that includes Slice, Slice Promenade and Love by Britto), the first evening programme of events and entertainment.
