Unlike others, our videos are designed to immerse you in the journey, sharing the full experience of our Star Princess cruise. We explore the ship, sample all the food, enjoy the drinks in the bars and lounges, and soak up the entertainment – bringing you along every step of the way. So, welcome aboard the Star Princess! Join us as we kick off our 7-night Mediterranean cruise on the second-ever sailing of Princess Cruises’ brand-new Sphere-class ship. In this first episode, we fly from London Heathrow to Barcelona with British Airways, navigate a chaotic city transfer, and finally board the stunning Star Princess for an unforgettable embarkation day filled with excitement, laughter, and a few cheeky drinks 🍹. We’re sailing in a Sanctuary Mini Suite (upgraded from a Cove Balcony via Princess’ bid system) and enjoying the Princess Premier package, which includes premium drinks, Wi-Fi, and more. Total cost? £1919pp — and we think it’s great value! 🛏️ Want to see our cabin? 👉 Watch our Star Princess Sanctuary Mini Suite Tour here: https://youtu.be/lgESOLMH_Bw 📍 In this vlog: - British Airways flight from LHR to BCN ✈️ - Barcelona transfer drama due to city protests 🚧 - Boarding the Star Princess at the cruise terminal 🛳️ - First impressions of the Piazza and meeting Stanley Bear 🐻 - Drinks and laughs on the Promenade Deck 🍸 - A visit to the iconic Good Spirits at Sea bar 🍹 - The Star Princess is the second ship in Princess Cruises’ Sphere Class, offering next-generation design, expanded outdoor spaces, and the all-new Piazza atrium with stunning ocean views.
