Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm not really pleased about it.

They're jacking the price up and selling it to someone else.

I think it's um becoming a little bit of a cash cow for them for Princess Cruises with what they're doing with their excursions.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Stay to the left when you go to get into a line for passport control.
Have hotel reservation information and travel insurance documents ready for immigration.
Bring water and snacks with you to the Buenos Aires cruise terminal due to long waits.
Pack your patience as embarkation may not run smoothly.
Watch your excursions closely for cancellations and price changes.

YouTube Video Description

We’ve officially arrived in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and today I’m walking you through what the experience has really been like — from flying in, hotel logistics, documentation checks, and embarkation at the Buenos Aires cruise port — so you know exactly what to expect if you’re sailing from here. I’ll share details about staying near the airport versus downtown, what immigration officers are asking for when you arrive in Argentina, and why it’s important to have your hotel information, travel insurance, and documents readily available — even if you’re not ultimately asked for all of them. We’ll also talk honestly about the embarkation process at the Buenos Aires cruise terminal, including long waits, heat, limited amenities, and why patience (and water) are essential. But the most important part of today’s update is a serious concern involving Princess Cruises shore excursions. I’m sharing a firsthand experience where a long-booked, high-demand excursion was canceled without any notification, only to later reappear at a significantly higher price — and without offering previously booked guests the opportunity to reclaim their spots. Since sharing this, I’ve heard from many of you who’ve experienced similar cancellations and price changes on a variety of Princess cruises. This video is a reminder to closely monitor your booked excursions, check your app frequently, and be proactive — especially if there’s something you truly don’t want to miss. I’d really value your thoughts, experiences, and advice as we navigate this together.
