Creator's Key Takeaways

Princess Cruises is a premium cruise line so it is in the same category as Holland America and celebrity

The Medallion now princess has had the medallion for a few years now so I know a lot of people are aware of it but basically The Medallion replaces your cruise card

interior cabins Ocean View Cabins and even balcony cabins don't come standard with a small sofa or loveseat

if you are going to get a beverage package anyway is to opt in to princess Plus or princess Premiere
