Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm happy to be sitting in the shade. Can't wait for him to try the sanctuary and see why it's worth going through that on boarding day.

I'm a big advocate for the medallion. I don't want to say anything negative about it because I know there is this resistance to it in the cruising community.

No place I'd rather be than on a ship, especially a princess ship.

We might come back up and do a movie under the stars. But very nice embarcation day so far.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book sanctuary seats immediately upon boarding to secure a spot.
Buy water packages for hot climates to stay hydrated.
Begin unpacking immediately to settle in before sail away.

YouTube Video Description

It is embarkation day on the Caribbean Princess for our 10-day partial transit Panama Canal cruise! We have an important first priority which is to get up to the Sanctuary and book our seats for the day we are in the passage. After that adventure we settle in on the ship, experience some strange issues with the Medallion and Ocean Now app, visit the Elite Lounge in Skywalkers and then end the night with a movie under the stars. Hope you enjoy following along, see you next time for our first formal night and a day at sea!
