Loved my very first cruise, happened to be sapphire princess 2wks in May around the med. 3 generations, my mum a seasoned princess cruise guest, my 19yr old daughter and me. My daughters first cruise too but we never had an idle minute, lots to see on do and loved sea days! I was delighted that it really went above and beyond my expectations. Food was amazing ( loved how hand washing was encouraged so much) afternoon tea was a lovely treat but the staff, every single staff member had a smile and was so friendly. The staff really did make the cruise special. The group on board were fab and the entertainment in general was outstanding. I look forward to my next princess cruise!
Thanks for letting us know your experience. We loved the staff on Sapphire and the food was fantastic.
I found your channel literally just in time because I'm booking a Princess cruise this week! I've been watching a ton of your videos and you guys are so helpful. This video just reaffirmed by choice of sailing with Princess!
maggie polsean you won’t be disappointed! Went on my very first cruise for 2wks on med in May on sapphire. It was everything I expected AND more. I don’t think I could do another cruise line tbh. The service was outstanding,not one single fault. Food amazing as was entertainment
Fantastic Maggie! What ship and itinerary are you sailing on?
I am going on the Regal Princess to the Caribbean this December! I have been on Princess as a child, but never as an adult, so I'm super excited.
Hi guys. We love you and plan on taking a Princess Cruise to Great Britain in September of 2022. I’m disabled and on continuous oxygen. I have not seen any information from anyone about cruising, travel, equipment or excursion for the disabled. I’ve only been on two cruises in the past. I have had to travel a bit before the oxygen so have some information on that. If you’re flying, make your reservation by phone. If you have a scooter or electric wheel chair or other battery powered equipment make sure the equipment meets FAA standards. If buying equipment, keep travel in mind. Scooters and other equipment should document under specifications, if the equipment is FAA approved. Also, research various types of equipment to see what’s available. I ended up with a scooter that can be taken apart and fit in the trunk of the car. It doesn’t really work for flying. After a little research I found folding scooters. These scooters often advertise they are accepted by most airlines and cruise lines. They are pricey. Mine folds and unfolds with the click of a button. When folded it is the size of a carry on and weighs 50 pounds. There are companies that rent equipment for travel. Our last cruise was before the purchase of a scooter. We rented one which was delivered to our cabin before our arrival. If you need oxygen, you need to have a portable oxygen concentrator. Also very pricey. Many like scooters are airline friendly. If you own your equipment you’ll need extra batteries to travel with. Are there any other available tours besides those offered by cruise lines for wheelchair. We found them inadequate. Also, cruise line price for a car, driver, and guide for eight hours is $1000. That’s ridiculous! Make sure you ask for an accessible cabin. Our cabin on Princess was awesome! Any tips you hav are very welcome. I’m very paranoid of taking an outside tour and missing the boat.
We will be on the regal princess for a voyage to Central America and western South America and Caribbean by way of the Panama Canal from San Francisco in June of next year,it will be my maiden voyage
Great video. One other thing stands out for me. This is the online booking system where you can (if you book early enough) choose a specific cabin on a specific deck.You get a no nonsense description of the area of the cabin, its amenities and the cost.This is especially helpful to those travelers who want a cabin in a quieter part of the ship.This system is vastly superior to some other cruise lines who assure you will be allocate a cabin somewhere at a later stage.
You are confusing a cabin assignment with a guaranteed cabin. All cruise lines will allow you to pick any available cabin. If you book on a guarantee, you get a lower price but the cruise line guarantees you that category or higher. It's a gamble, you could get a a badly situated cabin in that category or a free upgrade. I booked the lowest priced balcony on a 23 day cruise and got upgraded to a mini suite that was just under a Club Class mini suite. I was doing cartwheels. Mind you I am Elite.
We are booked on the Pacific Princess 2020 World cruise and have enjoyed 21 cruises over the past 20 years. We just love Princess and have always felt so cared for🛳☮🌻😍👍
Wow you two are so upbeat and so informative about everything!! Thank you!😊👍🏼💖🛳
Thank Deborah!
What I found were the most amazing parts of Princess are the TVs and the Beds. They has mastered the bedding, the pillows rising up after I sink in it. The TVs I may have loved too much. I brought all my electronics as a care free 14 year old a few years ago and it was such a waste of space as the TVs were like your own Netflix. It was still limited but I remember watching Home Alone like 5 times and my sister made me watch some marvel movies (the old ones.)
Coral Princess, Pacific Princess, Emerald Princess, Royal Princess and Sapphire Princess are going to sail in Australia for the 2021-2022 including some world cruises going too from Australia and a couple of other places
On my last Princess cruise, i learned that they’re owned by the Carnival corp.
“If it’s the same parent company, i wonder if Carnival cruises count towards Princess status (and vice versa)”, since I went on a couple Carnival cruises years ago.
I found out that the answer is no upon asking Guest Services.
It was worth asking about anyway, i thought.
I love love love princess but I have to wait until January of 2020 to go on her again. We're booked on the sky princess. We found a great deal where the balcony cabins are as much as the interior rooms so we grabbed it.
Sky Princess looks so lovely. We would love to sail on her.
If you drink a lot of non-alcoholic beverages, I would
recommend Princess' soft drink package. It's not exactly cheap
($7-$8/person/day), but it makes getting soft drinks a little more convenient. (You
should note this is for fountain soft drinks; canned/bottled soft drinks are
not included.) The best thing about Princess' soft drink package is, in
contrast to other lines, the package also includes "virgin" cocktails
(you can order a "virgin" Bloody Mary with everything but the booze;
you don't really miss it) and fruit juices (though not smoothies. If you drink
two mock-cocktails you come out ahead for that day. "Specialty"
coffees are not included, though another package is offered for those.
However, to come out ahead with any of the beverage packages
you have to be an awfully thirsty person. Many passengers overestimate their
capacity for beverages. For most passengers, beverage consumption declines
sharply towards the end of the cruise, so overall it might be cheaper to simply
pay separately for each beverage. (Regular coffee, tea, and water are
complementary.)
Could you elaborate on how having the soft drink package makes it more convenient? I am sailing on my first ever cruise this June and it is with Princess. Trying to figure out if I want the soft drink package, but not sure of the logistics of it. How do they know who in your group has the package? How does this play out in the main dining room? Anything you can add would be so helpful. Thank you!
@@Audpod1014 With the advent of Princess' Medallion system, the convenience of the drink package may have lessened somewhat. The drink packages are not meant to be shared; though not required, each passenger in your group is expected to have their own drink package. (Only one glass per visit to a bar; if I wanted two drinks for myself and my wife I had to carry up and show the bartender both my card and my wife's.)
Before Medallion, the ship would put a special sticker on your ship card. (No replacement for the sticker; if you lost your ship card you wouldn't get a new sticker on the replacement card.) Without a drink package sticker on your ship card, the bartender/waiter would have to take your card to charge your billing, run it through the ship's system, print out a slip, and have you sign the slip before serving. With the sticker, you simply flashed your ship card, told the bartender which soft drink/fruit juice/non-alcoholic cocktail you wanted and they would speedily serve it.
With the new Medallion system, however, bartenders/waiters now will take your medallion to authorize service whether you have a drink package or not, so that convenience aspect may no longer be applicable. When they engage the medallion, a picture appears on a screen where they can verify that you're you. So, no swapping medallions among members of your group to try to cheat the system.
However, I would still recommend the Princess soft drink package. Two "mocktails" (non-alcoholic cocktails) a day, or 3-4 soft drinks/fruit juices a day, would more than pay for the package. Whether or not it is worthwhile depends on how fond you are for drinks.
Hope you have a great cruise.
Please do a ultimate guide for MSC
I sailed twice on Dawn Princess and she sailed right into my heart
Colin Ely I was on that ship once. It's a P&O ship now
@@femmefuntime going on her next August, see the difference brtween Princess & P&O?
Going on it in Aug as Pacific explorer
I worked on Princess for some years, including original Love Boat! Still love PRincess. Great value for the money in the premium category.
Hi Crypto. Could you tell me more about working on Princess Cruises please? I'm applying for a vacancy. Thanks.
That is so cool to have worked on the original Love Boat!
The Pacific Princess and Island Princess were the 2 ships on Love Boat
Hahhaah aweee baby Ben and David. All the blonde hair hahahah.
Two British queens loves Princess. Go figure.
Love Princess! I have been on 2 cruises with them. Always a great trip!
Really good information. Thank you!
I’m boarding the Majestic Princess in about a week.
We are on our first Princess cruise in 10 days.
Fantastic Erica. Where are you sailing?
Fjords
Erica Davies how did it go?
Thanks for this informative video. I've travelled on around six different cruise lines over the years. Sailed on the Sea Pricess, out of Australia, and sadly it was like a floating nursing home with lots of very frail elderly passengers. The seas became rough, and I wonder how many of the frail passengers had falls? I've never seen this on any other cruise line.
Princess is slowly rolling out a more modern, cost-effective, internet options for a flat rate per day. The more days you pay, the less expensive it gets. A 7-day unlimited "Surf" package for a 7-day cruise is only $99.99, lets you access the web, Facebook and what-not. Just one day is $24.99.
Amazing and informative vid! Thank you so much for showing us around the inside and then there is all that yummy food.
Going on the Royal Princess soon, this is very helpful
Have a great cruise Judy.
@@Cruisewith I feel like a celebrity, Ben & David replied to ME! I LOVE your videos!
@@judyhale9024 Haha Judy you are awesome. Thats so sweet x
I LOVED your video, thank you!! I’m boarding the Royal Princess in 48 days. I am so excited, I can hardly stand it!! I appreciate the info!!
Your home
Going on the Royal Princess in few weeks and been watching your videos to be prepared. You guys are very informative. Thanks!
Regarding the drink packages, you did not mention the dining room wine packages, which we always do. I think they refer to them as Silver, Gold, and ????. They get you a number of bottles for a discounted price and for any price bottle over the package limit. They just charge the incremental. I think this may only be available on 7+ day cruises.
I think you explained Princess really well: traditional yet modern.
Very useful information thanks
Looks amazing would love to try a princess cruise next 🚢. Great video guys 💖
Thanks Rita.
Love your channel, you're doing a great job, guys. We'll be on our very first Princess cruise in just a few weeks - 16 days Latin America from Chile to Los Angeles, can't wait to get on board. We sailed Disney, Celebrity, Holland America and Carnival before and it will be interesting to see how Princess will do in comparison.
Oh look at you guys new makeover you look fabulous I weigh in on the video after a little bit just caught you to first sight had to tell you
That photoshopping skills at 4:33, I'm pissing myself laughing.
Always the best food - Regards from Canada
Thank you for the info, Going on the Regal Princess 15 Dec 2019

We are hoping to take a Princess Cruise August 2021. Thanks for the information!
Our pleasure! Hope you manage to cruise this August Christopher.
I just discovered your channel and subscribed. You guys are awesome presenters. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for subscribing ♥️♥️
Nicely done 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Please people don't believe the negative comment's about what you hear towards princess cruises ,, it's who other cruisesline's hire's to speak against princess cruises to get them more business.. It's all competition on the ocean for other cruisesline's in order to win pure customer satisfaction.. cruising corporation's upgrde fleet interior's sometime's just to win your appreciation to come back for more cruises and to spend the extra buck's on separate item's in the fleet on board all ship's which you could frequent..
We go in sept Norwegian epic leave from spain
What is the dress code on princess ships?
The Majestic White Elephant. We prefer Princess as it offers a more mature kid free atmosphere. After sailing on Royal we had high expectations for the Majestic. 22 days Shanghai to Sydney made you want to jump ship. Princess staples were gone. No Wheelhouse, no disco, 1 sail away party, only 1 dance floor ( Piaza), Crooners is a converted Casino which is a thoroughfare from theatre, no Churchill’s, Vista no bar, casino no bar, 1 production show per week, atrium bars had eskies to provide a variety of drinks as not enough bars, no theme nights except formal, no Sanctuary, only 2 small pools, bingo was an afterthought and badly run in Princess live, no walking track( all have dead ends), near impossible to get drinks in Vista and Princess theatre as bars were so far away it took the crew forever to deliver. The ship was designed for a Chinese market not for the rest of the World. We already have future bookings on Princess and will be Elite in four more(May 2019). The crew were fantastic and tried their best to work in a White Elephant. If you enjoy the Princess staples I would not recommend Majestic. Cheers Chris.
Early next year I'm going on my first cruise. It will be a 10 night Asian cruise aboard the Sapphire Princess. I am so anxious.
Love princess
love you two thank you for your interesting videos xx
Love all your videos!! So helpful while preparing for our first ever cruise! Alaska 2020 8)
I’m going tommorow I’m soo exited!
I’m booked on the Ruby Princess for a January sailing that I booked after watching your videos. This will be my first cruise, am I’m a little concerned about the food options on this ship. They do not have an Alfredo’s but do have the steak restaurant. We are taking it from Galveston Texas USA because we can drive from Dallas Texas. Do you think it will be an okay cruise? Would love to know your thoughts. We have also booked another cruise for February on the Allure of the seas. I am taking my Dad on both cruises and we are both Seniors, he’s 95 and I’m 62.
Looking forward to your next video
Can I add a passenger to my cabin on a Princess Cruise? A family member wants to join us on a Caribbean cruise in July. I have never heard anything about adding someone to a cabin, can you explain. we are long time fans.
Sailing princess in 2 days!
On a quest to watch all of the videos?
What about the Crown Princess cruise?
Hi Ben and David wonderful video we r elite members thank u
Always informative. :)
Thank you.
A helpful video -- thank you. Still, solo passengers tend to be ignored by some cruise lines, and I'm afraid you did too. How does Princess treat solo cruisers in terms of rooms and seating in the dining rooms? Any studio cabins, or a break on price if only doubles are available?
Hey William. Unfortunately Princess don't offer solo cabins or do anything special onboard for solo travellers beyond a solo meet up. No break on the price too. They charge between 150-200% of the price. Dining you can request Traditional dining so you will be with the same people each evening.
Does anyone know if you accumulate a certain amount of points on slot machines if they comp you drinks while playing in the casino?
Steve Kohnstamm don’t hold your breath...
Royal caribbean has the smallest cabins
WELL DONE
Are soft drinks not included? Would you have to buy soft drinks even in the buffet and main dining hall
Correct soft drinks you pay for just like the specialty coffees and anything with alcohol in it.
Fetch rewards
My question is, can you use the pool and loungers at the Sanctuary for free? Or is the fee just for the covered beds?
Hey Luca. The sanctuary is restricted to paying guests only.
I’m going June 22😂🤪 2019
Hi how much is the Beer on this ship you not say
Do you have a show on the Princess Medallion token?
Hey Billy. Unfortunately not. It has not been active on any of our Princess sailings.
My husband & I have never been on a cruise and we are taking the Island Princess to Alaska in July.
What are your thoughts on this ship?
Doreen Perez watch some of the guests in videos...if you like the crowd you’ll love love the Princess....slow down and take it all in..like they say...come back new...
I have been watching your videos but I have noticed most cruises are from mainstream cruise lines. Would you be willing to sail on Regent Seven Seas or Crystal Cruise Lines?? Their ads claim drinks and gratuities are included in the cruise price. Just curious if you would sail with either cruise line.
Hi Paul. We are willing to try every cruise line. Regent and Crystals ship look stunning!.
Hope both of you are able to do it one day. I hope I am able to do it one day. :-)
How about Alfredo's
Don’t forget to pack a wine opener in your luggage....
OMG. So cute as a blonde 🤩
I want princess cruise ship job
Why don't the Australian cruisers pay gratuity?
It is included in the cruise fare when they book. It is for any sailing departing from Australia.
I want job in princess cruise shipping
What ships are in the grand class?
Roughly, Grand, Golden, Star, Diamond, Sapphire, Caribbean, Crown, Emerald and Ruby Princesses, at least one (Golden) is likely to leave Princess Cruises soon. Ventura and Azura which are P&O UK ships.
The Grand class ships are the Grand Princess, Golden Princess and Star Princess. The Golden was sold to P & O Cruises as of October 1, 2020. When the Grand Princess was launched it was the largest cruise ship in the world at 2600 passengers in 1998. RC Group and MSC now have ships holding 5500 passengers.
Worst salary for the cruise staff carnival and princess hope will be increasing soon
But agents are asking for registeration fee of 300$ and they are saying that they will start the documentation process after you pay the registeration fee , so what should i do now ?
hello MR PUNK, can you please tell me , did you pay the fees and did you get hired finally ? or it's simply a fraud !!! thank you :)
**Nice viedo**!
This is what I get when I click your link for up to date prices "
Oops! That page can’t be found."
OMG. Your hair is blonde.
You guys seem to have fun doing this Princess video, but how much did they pay you to make Princess Cruise Lines look so good? Really. No ships can be as clean as the ships you showed, nor as uncrowded. No one ever posts a video of what the ships, pools, and eating areas are REALLY like while at sea... I am not convinced by this white-washed video, but thanks for your efforts.
We where not paid by Princess or anyone else to make this video. We paid full price out of our own money for the sailing.
Princess has the smallest cabins & you have to pay extra if you want a comfortable pool lounge. Not happy when there’s no sofa in my cabin which is often the case on Princess ships. On grang class the balconies are designed so badly that everyone above looks down into your balcony. Paid extra once on Regal Princess to go to the Serenity area But when it rained the water came through the canvas roof. Disappointing.
I think royal caribbean has the smallest cabins esp the inside category
Sorry saying, some people carrying money about princess cruise shipping company name (Munn Simpson is the one if the person,like more guys are doing like offering fake job and scam.)
