Creator's Key Takeaways

This video is for those of you who want to come on the Sapphire Princess that will give you a complete rundown of all of the facts and details

The bridge is the brain of the ship essentially. Anything that happens, anything important, any, you know, safety concerns or navigation, it all comes back to us eventually.

As good as a computer is, hand steering will never ever be beaten. We use it on every arrival and every departure.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you want to see the official route taken during a cruise, look for the printed charts in the Horizon Court or participate in the end-of-cruise auction.
