I really enjoyed your video. Thank you for sharing everything you packed. This video and your list with links will be so helpful!! Enjoy your cruise - looking forward to your videos when you return. 😄😄

Can you recommend the binoculars you purchased? We are going on this cruise July 2025!

Thanks for this more updated review! Going on an the ship soon, but many of the reviews were from a few years ago... Great to see a newer review!

This video helped a lot! Thanks!!

Well done vid…thx

Hello! I’ve been watching your channel and truly appreciate your unique style. However, I believe there are specific tweaks you could make that would significantly increase your reach and engagement. It’s vital to ensure your efforts lead to tangible growth. If you’re open to feedback, I’d love to share my thoughts on how you can improve. Just let me know if you’re interested!

Very informative, great video ❤

I think you can get Wi-Fi for up to four devices or Wi-Fi for one device. I wonder what those price comparisons are.

Hi Kristie. Your videos are so helpful. My mom 84 and myself are taking the 2025 Alaskan Cruise on the Discovery Princess. I am trying to learn as much as possible before we go. We will have a balcony room and the plus package. I have a few questions. We will be leaving from Seattle ( and we are going a day early ✅). Do the hotels usually have shuttle service to the ships? And what hotel would you recommend? My mom also has decided that on port days she would rather, relax, shop and eat or do an activity on the ship. Is there enough to do that we will be entertained on the ship and are the stores and restaurants open on port days? Thank you 😊

Do you have to make reservations for the sanctuary and how much is it?

I knew it, but I thought was a KG teacher 😅

Good info

Loved this video

I’ve also thought about what would happen if someone else took your cruise cards from your door before you. My guess is that after notifying your room attendant of the missing cards, they would recode and reprint new cards so the old ones become invalid.

We’ve all been there, but no more! Thanks for watching and commenting.

Making sure I pack my sunscreen- I don’t want to get all “red and lobstery” - cracking me up - I say that too! 😄😄😄🦞🦞🦞. Thanks for all the tips!

Thank you very much for sharing! Great tips! Like 34. New subscriber here.

I love cookies. Your husband is a lucky man!

We wish we could each eat cookies as freely as you guys do. But no carbs diet is strict and unforgiving!!

We do love your southern belle cheerful accent. Makes the content so much more approachable.

Taking a picture of the all aboard time is such good idea. I’m thinking it would be a good idea to take a picture of what dock you are at too if it is a busy port.

Great suggestions. Never thought to take pictures of my passport.

Lots of good stuff in this video

That’s a good idea

Taking our first cruise next summer. We got the premier pkg. I don't drink alcohol but I drink a ton of water. I'm looking forward to the specialty dining and the wifi!

You most think your viewers are morons. 😂 Either that or you were a Kindergarten teacher. Lol😂 with the sticky notes

have you been drinking? hahahaha

19:12 The guy looks like he is sitting on a toilet or bidet (in ecstasy). 😂

Folks, this is not a "small" ship. It's 90,000 tons. Back when it was made it was considered a "mega-ship." It's smaller than the ridiculous norm of sizes of ships today, but it is by no means small. Is it old? Well, I don't know. I'm old-ish. I remember this ship when it was brand new (and it was much different). It's a fairly modern ship that has been in service for years, but I don't consider it to be old. Old, to me, were vintage ships like the QE2 when it was sailing or the Norway or the at time Premier ships that didn't have verandas. This ship has verandas. Old, to me are ships that had portholes. Yeah, I guess where some could consider it old since there are so many new ships out. Too many, IMO. With the changes that have been made, it's fine. It has an observation lounge and a nice lounge with the dance floor (Rendezvous). Something totally lacking in the Edge class ships. It has tons of overpriced shops. It has a spa area most should avoid. It has a solarium pool. It has a decent pool space. It has a good two deck forward theater. It has most of the specialty restaurants that Solstice has and even Edge. It's fine. The staterooms were refurbished and modernized so, unless you need new that show minimal wear, it's fine. In fact, I'll take a Millennium or Solstice class Celebrity ship over an Edge ship any day.

Thanks Kristie. I love your positive attitude and energy when you are talking...very upbeat! The information was to the point and filled with tips. I look forward to seeing your other offerings.

Excellent video, but has anybody had any experience to see if the unlimited specialty dining has become a problem in terms of getting reservations because more people are doing it?

I've sailed on three Millenium class ships, and I love them! They have a great dance floor, (the Rendezvous Lounge) that almost no new ships have. So, if you're a dancing couple like we are, you're out of luck. That was a very good tip re: the Passport Card. We just renewed our passports, and they have a warning about airline travel and passports cards that was not on the old passport. I'm sure a lot of people with old passports had the same expensive lesson. I liked your video, very concise! Celebrity tried to sell the chocolate chip cookies at $2.00 a piece a while back. That lasted about two minutes. Again, great video!

You did a fabulous joy in your video . Thanks

I wouldn't put princess or HAL in the premier category at all.

I'm always a little suspicious of people who review technology by writing on a piece of paper and holding it up. Not exactly tech savvy.

Thank you. My mom is 83 ( very active) and I’m 62. She wants to take the Alaskan cruise on Princess. Neither one of us has been on a cruise so I am trying to find the best possible deal that we can. The Princess Plus sounds like what we want. Let me know if the other package is better. We do want alcohol drinks.

By the way, the tips you gave were great!

My wife and I only sail Celebrity. We go on about 7 per year. You mentioned bringing wine onboard. Something my wife and I do is we rent a cabana when in a port that we really do not get excited about. With the cabana you get a liter of grey goose vodka and a six pack of premium beer and several other perks. Oh yeah, you have the cabana for 12 hours 9am to 9pm. You have a butler during these hours and they will bring you anything from the menu that they provide. You can use the vodka for the rest of the cruise if you want to make your own drink. The price is around $90 total. It is very reasonable and we just chill on the ship rather than visit a port we see too often. Obviously this will not appeal to some people but I wanted to mention it.

Just found your channel…you are great! Thank you for being amazing!

Are those special cookies? Are you able to bring them on the ship?

Very happy to hear they have standard selections each day that does not change. I like to try new foods but not necessarily at every meal. Now I know not to worry, thanks! Great info Kristie, liked and subscribed!

Aug. was my first cruise and boy am I hooked! I loved the main DR. Each night for dinner was an amazing experience because of the staff! Our 2 waiters were amazing! Your tip to use their suggestions is spot on! I relied on their suggestions and it paid off! I am an adventurous eater so I also took the opportunity to try new foods and dishes. Amazing food as we sailed to Alaska on Sapphire Princess! Thanks for another great video

What is your favorite main dining room tip? Leave a comment below. 🥗😋🍗🎂

Another way to taste more entree’s is to go with your sister. We always share our food. I never knew I could switch sides. And what about desserts can I get a sample plate?

Thanks for all of the information!! I am so excited for my first cruise. So good to know you can ask for smaller portions and try two mains 😄. Does dining attire change when cruising in warmer locations- still no shorts in dining room?

put dirty laundry in a scented, tall kitchen trash bag

We stay in our dabin quite a bit. We are fine with inside

Your video is so helpful 🫶🏼 we're so excited to travel to Alaska next year 😍
