Princess Cruise Secrets - You Need To Know Before Cruising

[@richardgotshall2703]

If you are traveling in a group and book adjoining balcony cabins, you can have your steward unlock the partitions. This gives you a large balcony for your whole family to enjoy.

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Yes that's a great tip, thanks for sharing

On our last Princess cruise we ordered lattes to our room every morning that arrived within 10 minutes (4 minutes one morning), great service with the medallion app and the plus package

[@liseohplease]

I bring laundry sheets. You can bring many of them in a baggie. Bonus: your suitcase will smell lovely and sheets don’t make any mess

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

We might think to get some of those great idea Lise 🚢🙂

[@judit1783]

I use Tru Earth laundry sheets, but laundry sheets cannot get damp or they go hard, keep in zip lock bag.

[@lynnfranklin5098]

Ditto laundry sheets cheaper than the boxes in the laundry . The cruise ship approved are tiny enough to not take up room we have 2 a US plug and an EU adapter so we can utilize both ( my hubby can work from the room) order one with USB ports

Lovely them too

Buy the drink package... includes all the water you drink. 24 hour free room service no matter you order. No gratuities to pay: wifi included. Drinks included. It's really worth it. Espresso coffees.

It was as much as the price we paid for our cruise 😂

I really enjoy your videos- it’s been creeping on me slowly…. 😂 but I’m fully invested in your channel now and look for old videos every day. The most annoying thing we’ve experienced is noisy neighbours in the next cabin, I wrote a note outlining snippets of what we’d heard and whether they realised? We invited them to meet us in the bar to discuss! We ended up having a good laugh, they got a lot quieter….

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Awesome Boni thank you another tip we forgot don’t get a cabin with a connecting door ! 🙂🚢🍷

Don't forget about the Carnival Corporation shareholder benefit! You get on-board credit (minimum $50, max $250 _per cabin_ depending on length of cruise) for holding 100 shares of CCL stock. CCL includes Princess, Holland America, Carnival, Seabourne, Cunnard, AIDA, Costa, P&O (Australia and UK). It's free spending money, if you don't mind the whole stock-market experience.

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

We always claim the shareholders benefit

Not sure about Princess but on Carnival and MSC we have asked the cabin steward to empty the refrigerator in our room and have full use of it for drinks and food we've brought back from the buffet, especially some cheese and meat on MSC.

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

That’s too funny as there was nothing in ours 😂😂so we could put whatever we wanted Cheers 👍

[@robertsaczawa5634]

Drinks in refrigerator are complementary on princess a cruise a BIG PLUS

[@TeresaS-q7x]

I recently read people were left behind because they were late arriving back to a cruise ship. When I cruise, actually I've only been once lol, I never strayed away from the ship unless it was an excursion planned by the ship. People often had tables set up at different ports, yes, more expensive but not as much as it would be to fly to the next cruise stop. If I'm not 15 minutes early, I consider that late. Just not a chance I want to take..

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

We agree, never arrive back on time always early

[@webjammer1]

If your clothes get wrinkled traveling to the cruise, if available, the launderettes have ironing boards to touch up your garments. In the US you can buy Princess gift cards through AARP and get an 8% discount. They have $100 and $500 gift cards available. Those can also be used for on board credit which can be used for gratuities, dining, excursions, the casino. or any place you would charge to your on board folio.

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Hey, thanks for sharing your experiences in Portugal. We returned from a guided hiking trip in Madeira, a quick tour of Porto and Lisbon, and a bike trip from Sarges to Trivia. All a bit more active than your sharing, yet fit for us. Thank you. We spent 6 weeks in Portuguese lessons prior to our trip - not essential, yet the lessons increased our confidence. We highly aspire to return.

The magnet hack was great I’ve taken a bathroom stopper for the shower it helps keep that smell out. We take two suitcases one clothes one snacks we like. I’m not paying 8 $ for a candy bar. Great deal on the water that’s another good one if they offer that service.

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Glad you liked the magnet trick

[@christineainslie4239]

Hi Tina and Norm! All great tips. We love Princess too. Another tip-I always wear a wrist watch, set to the ship's time, so we aren't late back, if we're out exploring a port on our own. Don't rely on cell phones, they can switch to the port time, which maybe different to the ship's time. I bought a fairly inexpensive watch from Shopper's and use it exclusively for when we cruise. Keep on travelling! Cheers from London, Ontario.😄

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Great tip! we actually have one as well Christine to handle the time changes on board didn’t think of the cell phones 📱 changing to Port time thanks 🍷🙂

[@janicelongenberger7166]

I purchased a mess pocket bag and hang it on the closet door (where shelves are ) to s of stuff can fit it in, it is handy a d very packable. I also use magnetic hooks. Great for hats, lanyards, etc. Cuts down on the clutter

[@janicelongenberger7166]

Princess advises to keep you real passport in the safe. Make a photocopy of it for excursions. I also make copies of my drivers license.

[@TravelNearorFar]

For a friend, it was more difficult to get back to our home country without a passport than it was to meet your ship at the next port. At least to the US, you’ll need the assistance of the embassy. I would definitely only take a copy.

[@barryhaley7430]

It depends on specific countries. Some require you have original passports. At least Morocco did.

[@pamelalambe1356]

Love the tshirt again Norm. Is expensive but is so carefree when you get a package. Your not thinking about and adding up cost on vacation, it is all done ahead of time. Lots of great advice.

Great information Tina and Norm. I think I will still be taking a small power strip on the Regal next month as I found this on the Princess website.*Electrical devices such as small fans, multi plug box outlets/adaptors, power strips/extension cords without surge protectors and electric extension cords with surge protectors are allowed onboard when used with proper caution and following inspection/tests from the onboard electrical department. However, if such devices are determined to pose a hazard then they will be removed and returned the last day of the cruise prior to debark. I don't know why it would be deemed to pose a hazard but even if they keep it I will get it back at the end of the cruise. Keep up the great posts. They are very informative and entertaining.

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Yes go for it, we had ours taken and given back at the end of the cruise. Bear in mind embarkation security is from the port employees

[@laurie2218]

You are correct. We always travel mini suite on Princess. We were on the Enchanted in February and nothing other than what was listed on the menu card was provided for breakfast. Also it’s my understanding that you must book mini suite class or higher to get invited to the captain’s functions. Tina & Norm are now KZbin stars (and well deserved). Princess gave them the royal treatment.

If you go on shore excursions thru the ship you won't get left behind. As far as taking your original passport with you off ship I wouldn't do that. If you lose it or a pick pocket gets you ( and that happens a lot in quite a few ports ) you now don't have your original passport. I just make sure I get back on time and leave my passport safely in the safe of your room.

I worked with a gal, 7 years back, she would book a week cruise and then book a second week when on the 1st week, she would get it for half price. So her 2 weeks much cheaper than booking all at once. However the second week made the same stops as the 1st week and she also was a solo traveler so I'm not sure if that made it easier to do.
