Creator's Key Takeaways

We're starting our group cruise out of Southampton. We're currently staying at the Voco uh which has got some great views which we'll show you in a moment.

It has been chaotic. But anyway, we're nearly there. We're out to the ship.

Princess very kindly gave us full access to Tate 5 for our registration and made sure the bar was open, too.

The food, service, and company was all first class.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the Princess app for ongoings around the ship, but also get the paper daily program called Princess Patter.
If you want to join a group dinner, check if your cruise line has exclusive dining sections for groups.
Attend the Spotlight Bar show in the theater for an excellent live band and dance performance.
