Creator's Key Takeaways

I was invited on this trip by Princess Cruisers, attending with a media cohort of about five Australian and Kiwi journalists.

The naming ceremony was all taken care of inside the theater with guests seated around the stage for the fairly lengthy process.

I thought this was completely magical.

This ship is incredible. I really enjoyed exploring it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Arrive at least 30 minutes before showtime for the candlelight concert in the dome.
Consider booking a room in the Sanctuary for downtime on sphere-class ships.
Try the Spellbound experience at least once for something new and different.

YouTube Video Description

Join me as I fly 25 hours from Sydney to Florida for my very first east coast U.S. cruise onboard the brand-new Star Princess. Princess Cruises invited a handful of Australian and New Zealand media to Fort Lauderdale for the ship’s naming ceremony, Sheryl Crow performance, drone show and a special 4-day inaugural sailing to Princess Cays and Nassau. In this vlog, I take you behind the scenes of the celebrations, explore the new Sphere Class features, meet fellow creators like Tony (La Lido Loca) and Ilana & Frank (Life Well Cruised), and experience everything from Crown Grill to Spellbound to The Sanctuary Club. If you’re thinking about cruising from Florida, sailing Star Princess, or wondering what Princess’ newest mega ship is really like, this video is for you.
