Creator's Key Takeaways

The Medallion concept really is a GameChanger in the industry and significantly enhances the entire cruising experience.

The plus and Premier packages really do offer excellent value with a plus package you get gratuities unlimited internet complimentary food and drink delivery.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that Princess has a great selection of on demand entertainment with countless new release and Classic Movies and TV series.

The international cafe located on the main floor of the Piaza is a great place to go for light snacks and meals 24 hours a day.

Creator's Tips & Advice
