@@ShugAlansTravelChannel BAHAMAS, MEXICO & GRAND CAYMAN

[@ShugAlansTravelChannel]

That’s going to be an awesome cruise!!

[@TravelWithJosianne]

My bucket list trip! Next year I will sail Princess for the first time.

[@ShugAlansTravelChannel]

This was our first time on Princess and we had a great cruise 😊

[@CunningStunt]

Love your channel!

[@ShugAlansTravelChannel]

Awww thank you 😊

[@TrueNorthJourneys]

You must sail on the Discovery Princess, and get a mini suite. Princess also has the most comfortable beds too!

[@ShugAlansTravelChannel]

We plan on sailing on Discovery Princess when it comes back to California and yes, the beds are comfortable 😊

[@CatherineHitches]

What a lovely couple you both are❤

[@ShugAlansTravelChannel]

Awww thank you so much, Catherine 😊

[@TheBayArea831]

Watching your video while folding laundry 😬 To answer your question, We have never been on Princess. But our boss cruises Princess only and seems to enjoy it. Im considering it. They leave out of SF which is less than 2hours away from us. Im going to continue watching. Thank you for posting and giving important info. It really helps us decide on future cruises 🎉 You guys are the best!!

[@ShugAlansTravelChannel]

Hiiii guys, thanks again for watching 😊

[@mickiesadventures]

31:59 Pepsi instead of Coke! Alan has jokes “she doesn’t know what she likes”. Lol

[@kimkirksey562]

You all are thorough tour guides

[@ShugAlansTravelChannel]

Hi Kim, thank you so much and thank you for watching 😊

[@mickiesadventures]

I have been on Princess before, but it has been a long time. I think you will be able to give me some pointers for future Princess cruise, lol. 9:26

[@ShugAlansTravelChannel]

I don’t know about the pointers. We’re still trying to figure this one out lol

[@mickiesadventures]

24:34 no love boat theme song 😢😢

[@ShugAlansTravelChannel]

So does Shug she was really disappointed ☹️

[@autobotdiva9268]

i like how they engage all in the atrium. basic games but when all involved, its fun. their dancers need more training for sure!

[@ShugAlansTravelChannel]

Thank you for the comment 😊

[@anthonyonthemove]

Embarkation is always so exciting.

[@ShugAlansTravelChannel]

Heck yeah it is lol

[@MichelleGuiheen-fe2oi]

Enjoyed the Salty Dog! Ate there many times. 😬

[@ShugAlansTravelChannel]

We just love it. We wish Royal had something like this.

[@stefanwenk]

I love this video!

[@ShugAlansTravelChannel]

Awww, thank you so much. We really appreciate that 😊

[@TravelWithJosianne]

That was a fun game.

[@ShugAlansTravelChannel]

Yes it was 😊

[@ChrisandTaraCA]

Those cheesy bacon fries look sooo good! Salty Dog for the W!

[@ChrisandTaraCA]

Hennessy is good Alan I can’t believe you’ve never tried it!

[@ShugAlansTravelChannel]

We’re sitting at the table right now and guess what Alan’s eating lol

[@ShugAlansTravelChannel]

He’ll be trying it before this cruise is over 😉

[@ChrisandTaraCA]

@ no way!!! Haha they’re that good cheers you two!

[@MelC658]

I have a question. How did you get Elite status if this is your first Princess Cruise. Did they status match with another line?

[@ShugAlansTravelChannel]

That’s a great question. I’m a travel agent so they gave me elite status on this cruise so I can better understand the experience. It’s only for this cruise on my next cruise I will go back to my normal status.

[@MelC658]

Nice. Enjoy! Looking forward to the rest of the videos!

[@MichelleGuiheen-fe2oi]

Agree w boarding day! 1st cruise w Princess out of Brooklyn NY. Thought it was just here. Process to get on the ship was sooo long. W lots of standing around 😬😩

[@FloridaJunkies]

Great Video, good to see a more informative review for once... We're getting on when you get off this Tuesday 12th Nov. Coming from the UK.. can I ask how you got Elite status if you've never been on Princess?

[@ShugAlansTravelChannel]

Hi FloridaJunkies, I am a Travel Agent. Princess wanted me to experience "Elite" status so I can better explain to my clients the benefits. Unfortunately my next Princess cruise I won't be Elite anymore lol. Thanks for watching and have a great cruise 😊

[@MelC658]

I love cheese fries too! So excited to see your thoughts on Princess. I have mostly done Royal but am going to take Star Princess to Alaska in 2026.

[@shootingstarsphotography174]

Great job guys! I see you warming up for karaoke! Don’t stop believing! ❤. Wendy

[@ShugAlansTravelChannel]

Hiii Wendy. When Alan does karaoke, he said he wants to do LL Cool J song. ‘I need love” lol

[@anythingroam2423]

Thats not the LOVE BOAT, the LOVE BOAT is Regal Princess. I was just looking at Emerald and comparing it to Ruby. I hope to sail on Enchanted this June to make 4 princess cruises total. BUT (PRO TIP) if you sail solo in your cabin like I did on RUBY and REGAL you get double points. I got really great deals without paying double occupancy prices. So I got 4 total cruise points. Ill be cruising Regal in a week with a cabin mate so it'll bring me to 5 cruise points and is a quick way to bump yourself up to Platinum Status with 5 for the price of 3.

[@ShugAlansTravelChannel]

We know it’s not the original Love Boat, which was the Pacific Princess and the Island Princess. We were just using a little humor. Thank you for the (PRO TIP) this was our 57th cruise so we will add that one to our collection and nice job on adding up the points. Have you cruised any other cruise lines? Thank you for the comment!

[@genaward4681]

I’m a Coca Cola girl all the way ❤❤❤ we are going on a royal cruise in January and I’m hoping I can bring a 12pk on or I’m going to be lost 😞

[@ShugAlansTravelChannel]

Coca-Cola is the best and yes, you can bring on a 12 pack of cans onto Royal. Have a great cruise. 😊

[@mickiesadventures]

34:55 shugs’ photo opp!
