Creator's Key Takeaways

Princess Cruise Lines has become one of my favorite brands in cruising because it's focused on the ocean and total relaxation plus I can almost always find a great deal even paying double occupancy as a solo

I am not endorsed or sponsored by princesses in any way and pay in full for everything I do on this channel which allows me the ability to share with you my uncorrupted opinion that princess continues to be my preferred brand as a solo

this was a wonderful way to spend a day and there was so much to see and do you can feel a commitment to Quality throughout this excursion that I don't find in many others

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book your Sanctuary lounger as the first stop when you get on board because it's first come first serve and spots fill up fast.
βœ“To avoid upsells at the spa, write 'no upsell please' in big letters on the health form.

Buffet chaos on embarkation day β€” Avoid buffets on embarkation day due to chaos, but if already onboard early, it can be a good option.
