Creator's Key Takeaways

I've already checked in using the princess app with my boarding pass downloaded onto my phone

I have rearranged my furniture so that I've now got all this space to the side of the bed and look I can walk down here without knocking me brains out on this bloody bunk bed

I'm on the princess plus package which I believe means I get two meals in the Salty Dog gastro PB

I'm still feeling very fortunate to be here and we are still going to Hawaii

Creator's Tips & Advice

Download the Princess app to check in, make dining reservations, book shore excursions, and access daily schedules.
Order a light stateroom breakfast and then have a proper breakfast later when you're ready.
Bring a pen or highlighter to mark activities in the daily Princess Patter program.
