Is Princess Cruise Still Worth Considering? #shorts
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator discusses the recent negative reviews surrounding Princess Cruises and identifies two primary causes for this shift in perception. First, the company has transitioned several amenities that were previously included in the base fare into paid add-ons through the Princess Plus program. This change can increase daily costs by fifty to seventy-five dollars or more, affecting items such as the pizza service. Second, the cruise line is moving toward a different demographic by launching much larger vessels like Sky Princess and Discovery Princess. These ships carry over 3,600 passengers and are designed to attract families and first-time cruisers. The creator concludes that these developments represent a significant evolution from the traditional experience, which explains why long-time travelers are reacting with dissatisfaction as the brand changes from what they previously knew and loved.

Creator's Key Takeaways
Princess is getting very very mixed reviews for two other reasons.
they've taken many things that were included in the base fair to now paid for in their Princess Plus add-ons.
The second reason they're getting poor reviews is I think probably the same issue as piano cruisers.
for the traditional Princess Traveler, these are really big changes, which is why I think we've seen some of those more negative reviews
