Creator's Key Takeaways

It was our first time on Princess Cruise Line. Uh hey Paul, how are you doing? Good to see Paul in here as well. Hey Paul. So it was our first time trying Princess Cruise Line and that's what this video really is about.

Best elevator experience I've ever had on a cruise ship. They had plenty of elevators. Never hardly ever had to wait for an elevator.

We spent about $1,100 in the casino. Uh, I did. Michelle didn't even go at all. And we did get offered a free room, an interior room, uh, and a $100 credit if we book it and take it by November or December.

Would we book another Princess Cruise? Yes, I would. Would it be at the top of my list? No. I probably want to do Royal first.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring Clorox wipes to clean buffet tables yourself, as they may not be wiped down properly.
Book specialty dining as early as possible, especially for Alaska itineraries with late port returns.
Consider the plus package instead of premiere if you don't plan to use specialty dining frequently.
Check your package details carefully before sailing to avoid unexpected charges.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Package confusion and upgradesResearch package tiers thoroughly before booking; consider plus instead of premiere if not using specialty dining.
Specialty dining availabilityBook specialty dining as early as possible, especially for Alaska itineraries with late port returns.
Demographic and vibeExpect an older crowd on Alaska cruises; Princess may have different vibe than Carnival or Celebrity.
