Creator's Key Takeaways

when you are platinum on princess you get half off of the Wi-Fi so that's very nice

priority boarding what that means is when you arrive at the cruise terminal they usually have an area set apart

they decided to board groups from Expedia cruises first so when they announced that they you know you can tell when they're getting ready to start embarkation they said we're going to be embarking soon of course the elite people get up and go over because they always get on first right

the Medallion unlocks your cabin door it lets the wait staff know where you are when you order a drink or dinner whatever you want to order

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book an early excursion to get off the ship early on port days.
If you don't see your 10% shop discount on your shipboard account, follow up and ask for it.
Log out and log back in on the app once on the ship for smoother operation.
