Creator's Key Takeaways

we got lucky and we didn't have to pay any change fees which is why we selected these new flights so we get to go several hours earlier layover is a better situation and we get more time in Vancouver so it's just a win-win-win

I would rather have all of the things that I think I might want or need then get there and wish that I had brought something that I had taken out of my suitcase

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check flight prices frequently for better deals or more favorable times.
Use the Princess app to bookmark activities, but note it's not a reservation.
Print luggage tags for the cruise ship in advance if you won't have printer access.

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description

Before sailing away, I had a list of things to do to prepare for our trip. First, we booked the trip a year ago. So we booked flights to Vancouver on Black Friday (scored a great deal!). Then sometime in April, I checked to see if there were better deals/flights available and there WERE! So I changed our flights, for no change fee, to a much better flight into Vancouver! We've also received our Princess Medallions. These are wonderful little nuggets of technology, and the convenience of them being delivered directly to our home was incredible. We've watched a bunch of YouTube to try to get ready for this cruise. Two channels have been particularly helpful. @CruiseTipsTV and @LetsGoTravelTips have a bunch of information available regarding Princess cruises. With the time of our departure rapidly approaching, I've found several things to do to help us with our arrival into Vancouver as well as our boarding onto the ship. I completed the Canada customs arrival declaration on the ArriveCan app for both of us; this is not required anymore, but it is recommended to expedite arrival. (post cruise update, can confirm it did speed the customs process) I also checked us into our flights, and printed our luggage tags for the cruise. Last thing to do is to pack (!!!) and get a good night's rest in preparation for our long travel day tomorrow! Check back for a new video every Monday, Thursday, and Sunday!
