Editorial Summary

The creator details a seven-day Mediterranean cruise aboard the Enchanted Princess, covering various aspects of the travel experience. The journey begins in Rome and includes stops in Corfu, Dubrovnik, Kotor, and Naples. The creator evaluates the Princess Premier package, discussing its benefits for dining at specialty restaurants like Crown Grill and the International Cafe, as well as the convenience of room service. Accommodations are reviewed through the lens of side-by-side balcony cabins, which the creator found practical for families due to the ability to open the balcony separator. Port excursions are a significant focus, including a private tour in Corfu, a Game of Thrones themed tour in Dubrovnik, and a speedboat excursion in Montenegro. The creator also addresses challenges, such as the difficulty of securing dining reservations in advance and the high cost of flights. Ultimately, the creator concludes that the cruise is suitable for a wide demographic, including families and multigenerational groups, and suggests that booking back-to-back cruises might be a more cost-effective way to maximize travel value.

Creator's Key Takeaways

truthfully, we had an amazing time on our Mediterranean cruise. And there was one thing that actually surprised me in a really good way.

it ended up being that we enjoyed Saila away out on our balcony. We had some champagne and some strawberries on our balcony before heading to dinner.

it was scenerywise um probably maybe the most beautiful place that I've ever seen in my life, but certainly one of the most beautiful places.

I do really think that Princess Cruises in general, I always think that they have something for everybody um in any different destination.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“If you can't get dining reservations in advance, take what is available and speak with the Maitre D or guest services once on board to check for cancellations.
βœ“Consider booking a back-to-back cruise if flying to Europe to maximize value against high airfare costs.
