Creator's Key Takeaways

I made a big mistake you see I took my first cruise more than a decade ago and in that time I've sailed most major cruise lines but one of the few that I had yet to sail was Princess

I'm also rethinking some things what was it that I had so wrong and wish that I'd known about Princess before I sail for the first time

the bottom line here is if you're looking for a cruise experience that's higher end than many other lines without being stuffy princess might be ideal for you

I'm now officially a fan while I definitely pick another Cruise Line If I Was sailing with my whole family it was just me and my wife then princess would be near the top of the list

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book a Princess Plus or Princess Premiere package for a more all-inclusive experience
โœ“Consider the Medallion technology for seamless boarding and service
โœ“Expect a more relaxed, adult-oriented atmosphere without built-in thrill activities

Lack of built-in entertainment like waterslides and go-karts โ€” Princess is more adult-oriented and relaxed; you won't miss those activities on a shorter cruise

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

I made a big mistake. You see, I took my first cruise more than a decade ago. And in that time, I've sailed most major cruise lines. But one of the few that I had yet to sail was Princess. Think about it... I'm a guy in my 30s. A cruise line named Princess doesn't exactly sound like it's made for me. And when I cruise, I'm also a fan of going all out on the ship. I want waterslides. I want to race go-karts. I want to ride the roller coaster. It's go-go-go. I still like all that, but I've got to tell you, after sailing Princess for the first time last month, I'm also rethinking things. There was a lot that I didn't realize about Princess... and it was a style that's very different from what I'm used to... and... I liked it?!
