Creator's Key Takeaways

We're back on Enchanted Princess — and she's sailing her FIRST Mediterranean cruise of 2026!

It's so nice this time to be able to have two cabins because we can put our things wherever we want.

We're loving Princess. We're loving being back on The Enchanted Princess.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use magnetic hooks to hold items on cabin walls.
Bring refillable coffee cups for in-cabin use.
Walk from the port to the ship if you're only a couple to save on transportation costs.
