Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm really glad to come back to Princess because we did enjoy it and uh the only reason we stopped doing Princess is because we tried Celebrity and found that Celebrity fit more of our vibe.

The price of the cruise. So we have a standard balcony stateateroom and the price of what we paid I thought was reasonable.

There is a line for a lot of things. So, for example, the bars. Everywhere we went pretty much, there's a line 10, 12, 14 people deep.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the MedallionClass app to find friends on the ship and order items, but be patient with delivery times.
Visit the International Cafe for 24-hour snacks and coffee, especially on port days.
Try the Enclave spa area for a relaxing experience, and book on the first day for better pricing.
Be prepared for lines at bars and dining venues due to staffing levels.
