Creator's Key Takeaways

If you want the simplest possible imbarcation morning with zero transportation stress, consider staying in Chvida Beckio rather than Rome the night before.

The Enchanted Princess has solved one of the biggest onboard problems for non-smokers and non-gamblers. They made their main casino smokefree.

The ship is wellrun, beautifully maintained, the crew is great. It's a great fit for a senior traveler.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Stay in Civitavecchia the night before to avoid transportation stress on embarkation day.
If taking the regional train, validate paper tickets at a machine to avoid fines.
Consider the World Fresh Marketplace as a legitimate dining destination rather than just a buffet fallback.
Get to the port early since Princess does not have select boarding times.
