Creator's Key Takeaways

I went on board skeptical, but ready to see if the legendary food, service, and that famous medallion tech lived up to the hype.

Princess made the whole process absolutely seamless.

The food was outstanding. French onion soup, steak and lobster, and the orange sule were particular highlights.

I genuinely had a fabulous time, and I'll definitely be booking another Princess cruise again.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Download the Princess app before your cruise to book dining times and browse activities.
Consider the Princess Plus package for value if you use Wi-Fi and drinks.
Arrive early for evening shows to get good seats.
Book excursions independently for better value.
