Vancouver does the best they can with e ships in port. It’s better for lines to move than be stagnant. Yes I live here and we sailed on Discovery last September and loved it.
@@debbywoolbright7953I got through security fairly easily because I was using a cane at the time. Talk to the port officials and mention that you need help. There are many port workers there that can help you. The Princess onshore staff helped me too.
If you Google “ Cruise Timetables” the site will tell you all you need to know about every Cruise Ship in the world including departure ports, ports of call up to 2025
Glad you are enjoying Vancouver and Discovery Princess. I was on her last May when she did her first sailing out of Vancouver. Duval was the cruise director on that sailing as well., you will have a great time with him. Enjoy
oooh it's all new. First time Princess cruisers used to get a blue medallion, now it looks like it's gone white. We were on Sky Princess with the same layout. It was a lovely ship. We loved the Marketplace Buffet and the International Cafe, who knew you'd want a cake or sandwich at 03:00am in the morning. ...lol. Taking our second cruise on Sky Princess again in Norway and Finland in Oct 24. Really looking forward to seeing some nice Fjords. Happy Cruising x
Hi Paul yes the Marketplace buffet and International cafe were amazing. We would love to go on the Sky Princess at some point. And the Fjords are beautiful 😍
Well Really lovely to see what embarkation day is like. As you mentioned there was 3 ships in. Never too much bread Stacey...!! And also pizza for seconds and why not !! I know it can be so frustrating when things don't go to.plan. could hear you kev, grumbling love your facial expressions. They say it all. I've just come back from anthem of the seas from Southampton. Will let you know more about that another time. Please keep up the fab info. You really do make a difference and help so many. Take care Therese x
Hi Therese and thanks so much for watching and you can tell us now we don't mind lol 😆 how was the Anthem, and would you recommend as we were thinking of trying this one time
Lovely video. I have heard that it is always difficult embarking from Vancouver. We’ll be leaving from Los Angeles for a round-trip cruise to Mexico in October on Discovery. It’s usually quick and easy from that port. I love your enthusiasm and all the information you give us. Thanks.
Hmm, our embarkation on Discovery Princess was also really chaotic in Seattle last year - looks like you had similar problems a year later… Great to see you guys on this ship!
great again carnt stop watching went on princes last year try if they have got it pizza that looks like a pasty not a lover of queues though just hope only 1 ship is in when we go sept keep up the good work bye the way the app worked ok for us thanks againCrewes🎉
Thanks so much Stephen and the pizza was delicious lol and yes it was manic 😬. We'd sail again from there if we had to but at least we know in advance what to expect. Let's just say it was a bit of a shock when we first walked in 🤣
Second time watching and it was as fun as the first, Stacey and Kev. (was on the big screen first day and didn't turn on the laptop.) Loved the fact you went to the buffet and then almost immediately to the Pizza Parlor! 🤣🤣The food looked great, but we would have needed a break! All this before the cabin. Of course we judged Kev! Please don't block us.😯😯 Beautiful ship and great info. Thanks for bringing us along.
Wow so not just us then if you think the same after 16 cruises. So unorganised and Chaotic. They need a better system in place for sure. Nobody should have to carry all them suitcases down the stairs Like that, either that or wait in that ridiculous lines for the lifts 🤣good job it was a lovely ship lol
I don’t judge you about the food. You’re there to enjoy yourselves. I love seeing the food, I need to go on one of those cruises to Alaska, I’m in Northern California so don’t have to travel so far.
Hi, we are looking at an Alaska cruise for the future so will be watching the future video's. I might be being greedy here but as we find you entertaining and sometimes funny, have you thought of doing one last part on your final video with some 'blooper out takes' so to speak. I know it is more work so understand if not possible. (me just being greedy). Keep up the good work.
Hi Nigel thanks so much for the kind words and regarding the bloopers at the moment it's probably abit too much to Try and go through that footage and edit/ add it in but it's something to think about in the future if people want to see it 😁
On our last Princess cruise we managed to book the Sanctuary for 3 sea days but shortly afterwards it was booked out. Problem was there were dozens of no shows and you only get charged if you turn up. This just stops others from using it. Princess need to put a surcharge on for no shows unless you cancel before your slot starts. It’s so selfish and unfair to those that don’t get an early boarding time
Oh no that is so annoying, we didn't realise that they didn't charge you unless you turned up. Like you said there should be some sort of charge to stop that happening
Hi and haha we might look into it in the future as at the moment we wouldn't know how to go about it. We would have to look into it as we don't want to sell people a hoodie that's shrinks or something after one wash lol 🤣 watch this space for the future though
Great vid good heads up about watch straps re madallion,,, how did u go on with gratuities? Can yo cancel them and just pay people you want , cabin steward , instead of a daily rate
Hi Mick we prepaid our gratuities before we went but have read on other forums about people taking their tips off at the end of the cruise and tipping individually. Would maybe double check with princess though ad you know what forums can be like 😁
Love watching your travels. Can I ask if you booked this holiday as a full package? And if so who did you book it with ?. We have never done a cruise before but would love to try one 😊
The Majestic is nearly identical to this ship, but the sanctuary are is called the Hollywood conservatory and it is fully enclosed and heated…it was free on our cruise, great place for glacier day, but get up there early to claim a spot.
I knew you would love this ship, we did. Food was excellent, best pizza and plenty of bars and seating areas. Seattle was so easy to sail away from, glad you enjoyed. Hope you found alaska magical.
You two look like your having a great time. Looking forward to following along. I’m in Crown Princess ten day Alaska out of Vancouver. My second trip to Alaska. Keep us posted.
Our embarkation at Vancouver was similar and there was only 2 ships there. Took over 2 hours 😫 Have sailed from Seattle many times with 2 ships in port and it is so much easier.
Hi you two. Looking forward to all the fun I know you will have. Getting on the ship was a nightmare. Did Stacey say she liked the cheese, 😂? I know, it's pizza cheese so that's different. Can't wait to see the rest. Thank you.
Great Vlog again . The check in looked cruel and very unorganised ? You soon perked up when you found the food 😅😅. The smile still hasn't gone Stacey and sure the best scenery etc is still to come.
We are from the UK and we're on the same sailing. Also on Marina deck not far from your cabin. The embarkation was abysmal. But the cruise was fantastic 😊
Great post guys ! Great to see Vancouver hasn't changed too much, the ship looks great (Not surprised it's Britannia's Sister) Enjoy Alaska, a very interesting place ! Have fun !
We stayed in the pan Pacific hotel at cruise terminal and it was very nice however down below with only 2 ships it was utter chaos took us 5 hours to board
Hi there, another great video like always a fantastic content. Really interesting to watch you do it make me want to go on a cruise ship? Keep up the good work and happy birthday to you another great video
I sailed on the Nuiew Amsterdam in Nov and you are definitely on the better ship haha. As for fun sailaways, you need to sail on a sailing from Florida. The party starts WAY before the ship sails haha. Great video!!!
Fun fact: Nobody gains weight on holiday, you just happen to be wearing heavier clothes on the return journey 👍 🍕🍕🍕
Haha that's very true 😁
I found the inside cabins on the new Princess ships are quite roomy. I really liked them.
Vancouver does the best they can with e ships in port. It’s better for lines to move than be stagnant. Yes I live here and we sailed on Discovery last September and loved it.
Any advice for someone with mobility issues?
Yes the ship was absolutely amazing

The sailaway dancers, amazing that they just change the routine, as outside they have pool in the way great to see the difference.
Well

Another brilliant vlog looking forward to rest of Alaska cruises
Haven't been on Primcess sime the Star Princess back in 2004.. the new ships look stunning! Cant wait to see the rest of the vlogs.
Lovely video. I have heard that it is always difficult embarking from Vancouver. We’ll be leaving from Los Angeles for a round-trip cruise to Mexico in October on Discovery. It’s usually quick and easy from that port. I love your enthusiasm and all the information you give us. Thanks.
I hope you are having a great time. Happy cruising.
Wow as if you had to carry your cases down the stairs or queue who knows how long for the lifts. But the food looks like it makes up for that 😊
Hmm, our embarkation on Discovery Princess was also really chaotic in Seattle last year - looks like you had similar problems a year later…
Great to see you guys on this ship!
Thanks Fraser and sorry you had the same problem in Seattle 🙄. Good job the ship was lovely and the Intinerary to Alaska was worth it 😁
great again carnt stop watching went on princes last year try if they have got it pizza that looks like a pasty not a lover of queues though just hope only 1 ship is in when we go sept keep up the good work bye the way the app worked ok for us thanks againCrewes🎉

Thanks so much Dave and Kathy and wow you've it twice Thanks 😊 will catch up with what you've been up to later 😁
Bon voyage 😃
We did Canada Place in Vancouver last month. The most disorganized embark we have ever done. What a zoo!
Haha you're right Bill it was a zoo. Never known chaos like it!! Good job the cruise was amazing lol
That big yellow pile is Sulphur.
Love your videos and content. Just subscribed.
Thanks so much Joey really appreciate it
It was also a shambles when we went last month, worst boarding ever out of 16 cruises 🇦🇺
Wow so not just us then if you think the same after 16 cruises. So unorganised and Chaotic. They need a better system in place for sure. Nobody should have to carry all them suitcases down the stairs Like that, either that or wait in that ridiculous lines for the lifts 🤣good job it was a lovely ship lol

Thanks to you we are in stavanger on P&O Iona and just had to find a Starbucks and get a mug… you need to get royalties 😂
I wish we did, i would settle for a display unit off them, we are running out of space in the kitchen now lol

God I don’t know how you put up with the queues I would have been fuming
Haha it was manic lol
Hi guys, great volg again, question ? How can we get a hoodie like your wearing Kev with your logo on it please Paul n Shazzer 😊
Hi and haha we might look into it in the future as at the moment we wouldn't know how to go about it. We would have to look into it as we don't want to sell people a hoodie that's shrinks or something after one wash lol 🤣 watch this space for the future though

Hi yes we did it as a package, we will eventually do video with how we booked and how much etc
@@OneCouplesAdventure fab thank you 😊
When did you take this cruise? I just got off of the Discovery Princess on Sunday. Its currently running out of Seattle, not Vancouver.
Hi a couple of weeks ago. It was alternating between Seattle and Vancouver. Maybe this has since changed? We disembarked in Seattle
The real question is - did you both finish your pizza? 🤣
Hahaha yes we did
Did they have no porters to check your bags?
We had to take the suitcases ourselves to the drop off point
@@OneCouplesAdventure yikes!
Where is the drop off point?
The Majestic is nearly identical to this ship, but the sanctuary are is called the Hollywood conservatory and it is fully enclosed and heated…it was free on our cruise, great place for glacier day, but get up there early to claim a spot.
We've just googled it and looked at the pictures. It looks really nice and good that it's heated and also no extra charge 👍
I took the Discovery Princess last year out of Seattle and the embarkation was very smooth. Loved the ship, Alaska and the medallion.
Thanks for sharing. We’re sailing from Vancouver on Princess next week to Alaska. So excited.
Have a brilliant time Nancy
I knew you would love this ship, we did. Food was excellent, best pizza and plenty of bars and seating areas. Seattle was so easy to sail away from, glad you enjoyed. Hope you found alaska magical.
Was brilliant Peter, glad you loved it too 😀
You two look like your having a great time. Looking forward to following along.
I’m in Crown Princess ten day Alaska out of Vancouver. My second trip to Alaska. Keep us posted.
Thanks so much George and hope you're having an amazing time
Our embarkation at Vancouver was similar and there was only 2 ships there. Took over 2 hours 😫 Have sailed from Seattle many times with 2 ships in port and it is so much easier.
I have never been on a cruise before...this looks absolutely lovely...needs to be on my bucket list....PS Not judging y'all...🤣🤣
Bonkers! Our embarkation of our Princess cruise in Vancouver was less than 15 minutes! No judgement for buffet then pizza! 😀
Love watching you guys experience Canada for the first time - the big yellow piles are sulfur, used primarily to make sulphuric acid.
Hi Paulette thanks so much and sulphur, at least we know now 😁
You’ve both just become my fave cruise vloggers! Love watching your adventures! ❤
Thanks so much 😁
Hi you two. Looking forward to all the fun I know you will have. Getting on the ship was a nightmare. Did Stacey say she liked the cheese, 😂? I know, it's pizza cheese so that's different. Can't wait to see the rest. Thank you.
Haha yes the cheese was lovely 🤣 phew 😅
Never judging. Let’s face it, we are her for the food as much as the travel!
👐
Board as passengers, leave as cargo!! 😜 Happy Cruising!
Aww alaska your notching up your cruise miles hope its not has hectic when we join britania in barbados next march great vid has ever .
Great Vlog again . The check in looked cruel and very unorganised ? You soon perked up when you found the food 😅😅. The smile still hasn't gone Stacey and sure the best scenery etc is still to come.
Check in at southampton for princess is much better
Fab vlog, can't wait for the rest of the vlogs x
OMG Stokies on tour.....!!!! Tell that twang anywhere. Great blog guys.
Haha there's no hiding the stoke accent 🤣 and thanks Paula 😁
Do you have to give the Princess medallion back when you get disembark?
Yes its yours forever. Its got your name and date of cruise on it. Its a nice souvenir
Great content, and it was nice seeing the Discovery Princess again.. Also, I highly recommend Gigi's on Embarkation day!!! We LOVED IT!!
Thanks so much appreciate it ☺️
We are from the UK and we're on the same sailing. Also on Marina deck not far from your cabin. The embarkation was abysmal. But the cruise was fantastic 😊
Yes the ship was amazing glad u loved it too
Great post guys ! Great to see Vancouver hasn't changed too much, the ship looks great (Not surprised it's Britannia's Sister) Enjoy Alaska, a very interesting place ! Have fun !
Thank Geoff 😊
We stayed in the pan Pacific hotel at cruise terminal and it was very nice however down below with only 2 ships it was utter chaos took us 5 hours to board
5 hours yikes 😬 and yes haha it was crazy 🤪
Hi there, another great video like always a fantastic content. Really interesting to watch you do it make me want to go on a cruise ship? Keep up the good work and happy birthday to you another great video
Thanks so much
When you experience what other cruise lines have to offer , it really shows how much P&O is lacking in many areas.
Yes we were really impressed with Princess, were trying the Arvia next and man are we going miss the medallion app that Princess use 😁
We're on the same sailing! The embarkation queue felt like forever, but after all we had a great time! 😊
Glad you had a great time 😁
Do you have a link to the apple tags bands? Thanks

These are the ones we had
I sailed on the Nuiew Amsterdam in Nov and you are definitely on the better ship haha. As for fun sailaways, you need to sail on a sailing from Florida. The party starts WAY before the ship sails haha. Great video!!!
Thanks Jenni and yes we've heard about the sailaways from Florida lol 😆 we would love to sail out of there 😁
@@OneCouplesAdventure maybe when you plan your viewers cruise. Hint hint!!! Haha
What does a Blackpool accent sound like 😂
We are from there and it didn't sound like us 😂😂
Haha not sure but they were definitely from Blackpool they told us 🤣
@@OneCouplesAdventure gutted it wasn't us 😂😂😂 but we are planning on doing this one 😂
my wife and i just came back from the princess alaskan cruise a couple weeks ago. it was so amazing. we love Duvall the cruise director too.
So glad you had a great time
