Creator's Key Takeaways

You are the reason we are here on the island princess today.

We saw a few videos, but none of them really got our attention. And then we saw this guy.

I don't know how to swim. And I am petrified of water.

Meeting the guy.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Walk the port first to get a feel for the area before booking excursions.
Don't be afraid to cruise if you don't know how to swim.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Feeling unsafe in port areasWalk the port first to assess safety, then consider guided excursions for comfort.
Not knowing how to swimCruising is still enjoyable; you can visit beaches without going deep into the water.

YouTube Video Description

They Booked This Princess Cruise Because of Our Videos—Then Found Us Onboard! In this video, we sit down with first-time Princess cruisers who chose guided excursions in every port, while we explored each destination independently. From St Maarten and St Kitts to Martinique, Barbados, Grenada, Trinidad, Bonaire, and Grand Turk, we compare what worked, what didn’t, and which approach made the most sense at each stop. What’s the best way to experience Caribbean cruise ports — shore excursions or exploring on your own? On this 14-day Island Princess Caribbean cruise, two couples traveled the same itinerary but in completely different ways, and the results were surprising. One of the most talked-about ports on this itinerary is Port of Spain, Trinidad, and this comparison offers a very different perspective than simply walking the city. Hearing the excursion experience side-by-side gives travelers a clearer picture of how different choices can shape your day ashore.
