Creator's Key Takeaways

I felt Princess had lost its way and they had slipped behind the competition in the premium category.

I was delighted to find they made a huge improvement by bringing onboard Rudy Sodom, a wellrespected restaurant tier and chef, to help oversees the improvement.

I felt the entertainment has definitely been ramped up. It's higher energy and there is much more a feeling of buzz and activity.

All of these probably fall under the term of nickel and dimeming as it's called.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Consider Princess for diverse itineraries and lively daily programs, but compare with other premium lines for your needs.
βœ“If you want unlimited specialty dining, book early as availability can be full even with the Princess Premier package.

YouTube Video Description↓

It's been three years since I was last on Princess Cruises, when I vowed to never return after going on three underwhelming cruises in the space of 12 months: Sky and Regal Princess in Europe and Majestic Princess in Alaska. I felt Princess had lost its way, and they had slipped behind their competition in the premium category. In fact, I made a video after those cruises, which is entitled β€œMy Last Time? Issues I Have With Princess” about my feelings. But I relented because I wanted to go on a Group Cruise hosted by my vlogger friends β€œPaul and Carol Love To Travel” which was on Sky Princess. So, I decided to go back and see if they'd improved. Here's what I found. Good and bad.
