Creator's Key Takeaways

Did you know that if you've cruised with PO Cruisers Australia in the past, you already have status with Princess Cruisers?

Princess's Ocean Medallion replaces your cruise card, letting you order drinks and food from your phone, tablet, or TV and have them delivered almost anywhere on board.

Princess Plus is the value sweet spot, allowing them to pre-plan their total cruise fair up front and disembark with a minimal or even no bill at the end of their cruise, which is pretty compelling.

I specifically recommended, and we ultimately booked a Princess cruise for our recent multigenerational family cruise. We varied in age from 4 to 60 plus, and we all had an excellent time.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Head to the creator's website first to search, compare, and book cruises.
Consider Princess Plus for value and to pre-plan total cruise cost.
Sign up for a Princess Cruises account to check loyalty status from past P&O cruises.

In this video, I explore why Princess Cruises could be the best option for ex-P&O guests. From ship design and onboard experience to food, entertainment, and loyalty perks, I break down what you can expect and whether Princess is the right fit for you.
