Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm here to tell you that's a load of nonsense and if you don't want to spend more money you don't have to.

It's entirely possible to take a cruise without any extra expenses beyond your cruise fare not withstanding the daily crew appreciation.

The Medallion replaces the traditional Cruise car C and is also used to tap on and off the ship.

Princess is renowned for the quality and consistency of their entertainment offerings.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pick up your Medallion at the port to avoid shipping fees.
Use the Princess Patter to check daily activities and entertainment schedules.
Consider the Princess Plus package for internet access and crew appreciation coverage.
