Creator's Key Takeaways

We're headed back out to the high seas and today we're on the newest Princess ship and really the newest ship in the whole Carnival fleet of the Corporation and it's the Star Princess.

Getting into the port was maybe our smoothest time at Everglades. I am shocked. I am shocked.

The water machine on this boat, this brand new boat, tastes worse than that 40-year-old Carnival Glory.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Give yourself time for port arrival and check-in.

✓Do pre-check-in to avoid document issues.

✓Use travel insurance for unforeseen circumstances.
