Creator's Key Takeaways

We're back on one of our favorite ships in the world - Caribbean Princess - for our third group cruise with 30 amazing Canucklings!

Only Princess. I'm telling you, we've done every other cruise line we've never been on this early. Only Princess.

Colin is by far, I would say, my favorite piano player on any cruise ship, not just Princess.

It was a great embarcation was smooth. Again, Princess just is amazing how fast they get people on ships.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Go to any other elevator bank but the mid ones on embarkation day to avoid crowds.
Book sanctuary time early in the morning (5-6 AM) to secure a spot.
Use the medallion for seamless boarding and muster process.
