Creator's Key Takeaways

even though we've been on many Princess Cruises this is our very first time that we are cruising with princess in the Mediterranean and it is very different than what we expected

we've been very pleasantly surprised there's been so much that we've enjoyed

it definitely feels full of life there are definitely a lot of people on it we are sailing full but there is so much room in the public spaces that it really doesn't feel overly crowded

I absolutely love the public spaces now the enchanted princess is part of the royal class of Princess cruise ships

Creator's Tips & Advice

Try to push through the day upon arrival to overcome jet lag quickly
Keep passports and money close to you in Barcelona to avoid pickpockets
Do Ocean Ready on the app before your cruise to speed up embarkation
Dress comfortably for formal night; you don't need to wear a tuxedo or gown
Bring a handbag that you can wear in front of you in crowded areas
