Sounds like Princess might be the right line for my first cruise. I'm a solo traveler who wants relaxation and ocean breezes.. not rollercoasters, rockwall's and screaming kids, but also not the raunchy adult debauchery that Virgin seems to be attracting.

And they have the best & free! movies on your big cabin tv, & on Lido deck with blankets & still free popcorn, unlike Royal & Carnival. And the NYC style pizza is so good on the Lido.

I am recently retired, and my hubby retired almost 2 years ago. We started with Princess in 2013 doing a 14-day roundtrip from LA to Hawaii. Since then, we have done 8 more. We tested out Carnival and we both agreed that was not a good fit for us. Then we did one with NCL and it was okay but we both missed the feeling of coming home that we get with Princess. All the reasons you gave are great. Our next cruise is in November, and we are out of FCD"s and will be getting more as you can only get those when on one of their ships. It's a great investment.

Great video, Kevin. As I've told you in our messages, with only 3 exceptions, we have been almost exclusively Princess cruisers since 2000 -- and our favorite thing about the line is clearly the stacking of OBC's. Between FCD, SH, veteran, travel agent, and special promos, we've have had as much as $1800 in OBC on a single sailing, and usually come in at a minimum of about $1200 on any cruise longer than 14 days . Even for our upcoming week-long cruise on the Caribbean, my husband, son and I have $950 in combined OBC. BTW, I have another little trick about using OBC that I'll tell you about in person on that 4/15 sailing.

Just returned from great 7-day eastern Caribbean cruise on Regal Princess out of Ft Lauderdale as a solo traveler. I was genuinely surprised how easy this was as I usually associate Norwegian as best for solo cruises. I have never felt so comfortable traveling alone, not because Princess emphasizes solo cruiser treatment, but maybe because they don’t make a big deal out of it?! Even fellow cruisers traveling with others were sanguine and I did also notice there were a lot of solos enjoying the cruise. Solo cruisers to be- don’t hesitate! Everything was great…medallion technology, employee attitudes, comfy beds, interior cabin storage & space. One knock - the mdr food was not exceptional… but the buffet & Alfredo’s were great as was the 24/7 International cafe for coffee & snacks. Can’t wait for my next Princess cruise! Also bought the stock to boost onboard credits next time (must own for 3 weeks prior to sailing minimum to get the credit).

This seems great. I’ve loved the cruises I’ve been on (one notable exception…river cruise on the Nile in Egypt…EVERYONE got food poisoning…sickest I’ve ever been in my life 😮! But that’s a different scenario) On the ocean cruises I’ve been on, I’ve loved them, but there were things that made them stressful. Like so much important information being delivered via loudspeaker, with lots of competing background noise. For people who are neurodivergent (or my new favorite term, neurospicy 😊), auditory filtering can be REALLY hard. So I always felt like everybody else had some piece of important information that I had missed. It was like this low-level hum of anxiety that never left. Also, they would give out multi-step instructions over audio, and expect you to remember the steps. Which isn’t a big deal for most people…but when you have limited working memory slots, and a lot of them are being taken up by processing out-of-routine sensory input…it’s like, man, by the time you hit step 4, I’ve lost step 1. 😳 Anyway. My point being, everything you need to know being written down inside the app and able to be accessed anytime you wanna look at it…chef’s kiss! 😊 …and also the comfortable beds. 😅

Absolutely love your videos. We love Princess too. FYI, they also give on board credit for referrals. You just need to include that info when booking. Will be interested to see what you think of the Medallion net when you're transatlantic cruising later this spring. It was so terrible for us on our transatlantic last year (actually absent) on the Sky. Hoping that won't be the same on the Regal when we leave next week. However, Princess was great about giving us a full refund on for the internet package on that trip, b/c they couldn't get the interenet up and running. That's another thing we like about them; they are so accommodating and try to do quick service recovery for any issue. For example, we contracted Covid at the very end of our Transatlantic last year (actually the very last day of the cruise) and they even put us up at a hotel in London on their dime for the length of our quarantine period. It doesn't get better than that IMHO!

Our cruise director, "some random African, Jayson (with a y)" was hilarious and I looked forward every day to see what he was going to do. BTW, my description of Jayson is how he referred to himself. Another good thing as far as I'm concerned, is that the ships aren't as big as others, so there were no crowds. I am going on another Princess cruise in November, and I see no reason to try any other line, there's everything I love on the love boat. Especially the soft serve!

Definitely Van Life. I probably got around 60k subs from that. I think I've gotten around 8k from cruising so far. So that one is doing well too.

Another great video, Kevin. Connie & I love Princess Cruises! And we love the Wake Show! And the beds - you pretty much nailed all the reasons to love Princess Cruises. I'm going to send the link to this video to a friend who is trying to decide whether or not he and his wife will cruise.

I like the deck plans of princess ships, customer services in general. I'm very comfortable bed in the state room.. I am. Not so sure about the toilet paper location in the bathroom as well as the shower carton,. I have not many negative experience about food in the general but wish they will bring back the grand coffee package.😂

I have cruised the other lines and Princess is still my favorite. I absolutely love Azamara Cruises in the Mediterranean their 4 ships carry a maximum of 686 passengers. Azamara Cruises had been part of Royal Caribbean Cruises until it was sold in Jan. 2021 so I don’t know how that will affect the cruising experience.

Great episode.... just FYI, Royal does a morning show on their ships as well. They are usually taped the night before, and we always watch the videos. They are entertaining and educational. Question about the demographics of the Princess clientele... is it A LOT older than on Royal? My folks preferred Princess and I always got the impression that they cater to an older demographic.
@30AndAWakeUp

Definitely less kids onboard because they don’t have a lot of the water parks and such. But I’d say it’s similar to Royal, just less kids

Another good video, I always ask them to split into two beds instead of one queen bed to eliminate the topper issue, and I have a wider center aisle to get in and out of bed. I’m a big guy. Also, I can sleep in one bed one night, if I want to face the wall, and then switch to the other bed the next night to face the other wall…

I just subscribed, I was hoping to see the count turn to 100k, but no such luck. It'll happen soon! Princess is my cruise line, too, although I was very disappointed in May 2022 when I was sailing solo in the eastern Mediterranean because their internet didn't work at all. I couldn't even download email but they still charged me! (I'm a Platinum Captain's Circle member, so I got one device's access free but paid so that I could connect a second device.) I still haven't forgiven them for treating me that shabbily, but all the things you say about Princess are true. I know I'll end up going back.

You nailed it with the first reason. The one thing that Princess does better than other lines is that you can cruise anywhere. IMHO, they are beige, their food is "just ok," and the entertainment is "meh." We've done several Princess cruises. including Japan, Alaska, Panama Canal, Caribbean, etc. I also had a financial issue on my last cruise where they refused to admit it was their fault. If you get a three person suite on Princess, the first 2 beds are good. The third bed was AWFUL. My current favorite is Virgin Voyages. They have solo cabins in each category, and they often have specials for singles (so you can book one in a 2 person cabin with no single supplement sometimes). I compared my upcoming Virgin cruise to Princess, NCL, and Celebrity with the most similar package I could get. The other three lines were twice the fare! VV includes wifi, basic beverages (soda, tea, brewed coffee, water, juice,). ALL food, All tips, in their fare. We also got some onboard credit and a free bar tab with our booking! The food on VV is amazing. It would all be specialty restaurant (pay more) on any other line. VV entertainment is mixed--some good, some not so much to my liking. Princess does have better pools. If you want to dress up, go Princess. If you want to be more casual, and try something different, think VV. I'm 60 and relatively conservative....never thought I'd like VV as much as I do! But there is a line out there for each person depending on that matters to that individual.
