Creator's Key Takeaways
We are getting ready to embark on our first ever transatlantic cruise.
One thing that is standing out to me here at Southampton is how organized the luggage process is.
The videos I have seen do not do this piaza justice.
We really enjoyed that show.

Today is finally embarkation day in Southampton, UK as we board Sky Princess for our transatlantic cruise — and I’m walking you through exactly what the boarding process is like from start to finish.🚢 After spending five days exploring Scotland and three days in London, our journey officially transitions from land travel to cruise life as we head to Ocean Terminal in Southampton to board Sky Princess for her Atlantic crossing to Port Canaveral, Florida. In this video, I walk you through the entire embarkation process — from leaving our hotel, arriving at the port, checking in, receiving our Princess Medallions, boarding the ship, and exploring Sky Princess for the first time. You’ll see what the terminal experience is like in Southampton, how luggage drop-off works, first impressions of the beautiful Piazza, the muster station process using the Princess app, lunch onboard, and sail away views from deck 17 (along with a special timelapse away from port). If you’re planning a Princess cruise, a transatlantic crossing, or embarking from Southampton, this video will give you a real look at what to expect on embarkation day. 🎥 Watch our Scotland & London pre-cruise videos here: Scotland: https://youtu.be/A1kgrCh8k24?si=mo5ZEj4i9aVgMM9S London (3 day): https://youtu.be/4pCHVUYjCIA?si=e3T4rDYCoVVFPrEK London (1 day): https://youtu.be/zouP6pbBdrw?si=PaX9bYo8WsClBeTR London to Southampton via Stonehenge: https://youtu.be/EXtZ0__AjZw?si=JOudCZWoksvOHmOk 🚢 Ship: Sky Princess 📍 Port: Southampton, England 🌎 Route: Transatlantic to Port Canaveral, Florida Thanks so much for watching — and don’t forget to subscribe for cruise tips, ship tours, and travel adventures!
