Creator's Key Takeaways

Which port would I return to in a heartbeat? Let's check them both out.

I personally rarely buy souvenirs in the ports anymore.

I have seen other YouTube videos where you can't see the water because of the crowds.

I loved it and it was free.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use pedal cabs for mobility issues at Amber Cove.
Don't fall for vendors offering free Wi-Fi for paid chairs in Grand Turk.
Do laundry on the ship to avoid carrying dirty clothes home.

YouTube Video Description

Star Princess, the newest Princess Cruises ship, is sailing to the Caribbean—and I was lucky enough to cruise on one of the first holiday sailings! In this video, I'm showing you two brand-new-to-me cruise ports: Amber Cove in the Dominican Republic and Grand Turk in the Turks & Caicos. Which one completely stole my heart—and which one was more of a “been there, done that”? Let’s explore them both! Watch my entire Star Princess cruise series and sail away to Princess Cay, Amber Cove, and Grand Turk on this inaugural season Eastern Caribbean cruise.
