Went around the world on Dawn Princess in 2009. 104 days of extremely comfortable and interesting travel

I find your videos to be very detailed oriented, well organized and most informative on things people want to know. Your experience shows in your presentation, great visuals, good anticipation of what travelers will question next. Your videos are extremely useful, and provide great guide lines for all travelers. Weeks Prior to every trip, my group and I watch your videos just as a refresher on what to expect, & what to avoid. EXCELLENTLY!

Going on our 5th princess cruise in January. We love them. For cruises leaving and returning to Australia gratuities are not automatically charged to your account.

My husband and I have travelled with Princess Cruise Line and we have been very happy with everything! I have also cruised with Royal Caribbean as well as Norwegian, and Princess has my vote, though Norwegian had the best entertainment! Food on Princess Cruise ships is far superior than the other two cruise lines, especially the Vegetarian meals! Thank you for this video... it explained things I was not aware of!

Brilliant overview of Princess, thanks. i too am new to cruises and I am blown away by just how many Ships there are actually cruising the seas, absolutely mindblowing as to the high level of investment that goes into these cruise experiences. Boy, this is another world altogether.

One thing you didn't mention was that Princess are the only cruise line that have launderettes onboard where you can wash and iron clothes yourself, instead of paying out exorbitant charges to have stuff ironed or washed for you. Particularly important if you are on a long (ish) cruise and are restricted in your baggage allowance when flying to your departure port.

I just got home from a Princess Cruise British Isles Cruise on the Royal Princess. The video is right on in explaining the Princess Cruise experience. This was my 5th Princess cruise.

Great video. I used to work for Princes cruises. You basically covered everything.

Very detailed and informative about the history of the brand. And largely unbiased. Impressive stuff.

I'll watch more 👍👍

We did our honeymoon on the Tahitian Princess (now the Sirena on Oceana) 10 day cruise. Been to Alaska twice (Princess does Alaska very well), Western Mexico 3 times. The combination of price, accommodations, ambiance of the ship fits our life style. I especially like the Grand Class just because of the walk up to the front of the ship-you can't get any further forward than that. My two favorite ships are Sapphire and Diamond-both made by Mitsubishi (you can see the quality difference compared to the Italian made ships) and they are just a bit less crowded.

My wife and I only cruise with Princess now, are going on our 6th cruise with them oct 7th. We have cruised with other lines they where good. But now that we are a little older we find princess just right for us . Thanks for the info, very point on. 😎

I leave on a Princess Cruise in 5 days... but I was looking forward to the fluffy robes and branded toilet supplies. That's all my friends talk about when they come back from their cruises, the animal shaped towels

[brianohehir]

One notable thing favouring Princess is self serve laundries. Very good for longer journeys. Also outdoor movies are great in warmer climates!

[BattleBladeWarrior]

Once again, thank you so much for walking us through all this information. Really appreciate the level of detail in all your videos, and the professional/relaxed approach in the way its explained.

Taking my first Princess cruise next year and this video has been really helpful, thanks for sharing it with us! :)

Interesting, I didn't know that Princess went to the most destinations. We ended up booking that Holland American Alaska/Yukon cruise tour in June of next year, that I mentioned previously. Celebrity is the only premium cruise line we've tried, and we absolutely love it. Looking forward to trying HAL.

[christophepilaire]

Excellent summary..Princess is a great cruise line speaking of price for value...also love and use Holland America and Celebrity depending on the destinations and schedules

[nigelweir]

No crap, good info for anyone, been on 5 sea cruises and still got something from this video

[jeantaylor]

We chose the all inclusive one-time tip option and I think it saved us money at no difference in service. For Anytime Dining, we found the service late in the available hours was the best for service and timely arrival of the main course.

I just booked an 11 night Grand Mediterranean cruise on Princess. I really enjoy cruising and it will be my first time in Europe.

Excellent Video. Very informative, concise and superb delivery. Thanks so much. Going on Princess Sapphire to Norway from London this upcoming Saturday. Cheers.
