Taking my 2nd princess 🚢 this august. I think their food is excellent. Everything about Princess is awesome. Been on Carnival and NCL but I found them too loud, too much party. I enjoy the sedate experience on Princess. Thanks for getting me excited for august ☺️

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Have a great cruise 🚢

Wow! It seems that Princess mostly caters to Italian cuisine. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

OMG... I just got home from work (yes I sometimes work on Sundays)... so I missed the live. I am starving now. Too much gorgeous food to look at!

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Ha! There’s plenty here to go round!

So interesting! I am looking forward to my very first Princess cruise onboard the Regal Princess cruising in the British Isles next June 2023. I have only cruised Celebrity up to now. I live near Atlanta, Ga, originally from Pittsburgh, Pa. I am so looking forward to this. Great food pics! Thanks!

[@TravelBlogJamie]

I hope you have a great experience! Thanks so much for posting 🙏

[@matthinkel9653]

I noticed princess and Celebrity to be very similar in a lot of ways. I really enjoyed Princess. You will be pleased!

[@LowVisionUKTerrysView]

Looks good! We're torn between Princess and Royal Caribbean for our next cruise...

[@TravelBlogJamie]

What’s the itinerary / ships?

[@matt.w6854]

@Travel Blog Jamie Norwegian Fjords, Anthem of the Seas or Sky Princess. We're getting married on whichever one we pick, so we're struggling to choose... pressure!

[@TravelBlogJamie]

@@matt.w6854 is personally pick Anthem - the adults only solarium and the North Star viewing pod would be great in the fjords. I’ve got vlogs on both ships too ❤️

[@matt.w6854]

@Travel Blog Jamie I'm leaning towards Anthem. We're planning on getting a suite, and I prefer what I've seen from RC so far. I'm working my way through your vids on both ships at the moment. Thanks!

[@TravelBlogJamie]

@@matt.w6854 no problem.

[@marciasanguinetti3900]

Really lovely, upbeat and thorough review !!! Question please: you mentioned availability of meal items by the Crown Grille (or any Specialty restaurant) being available as an upcharge to a Room Service dining request ? If so that is GREAT !!! Oops one more question: at the Gelato venue, do they offer crepes too ? Many thanks guys !!!!!!! Cheers to you !!!!!!!!

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Thank you Marcia ❤️❤️❤️ Yes, some of the speciality dining items are available for a surcharge on room service

[@TravelBlogJamie]

I don’t remember seeing crepes buuuut this was a year and a half ago

hi Jamie I'm booked on this ship 2nd of sept . i cant wait . i have a deluxe balcony . do you know what the up to date rules are for embarking the ship. I'm also having problems with the medallion app to try to book restaurants in advance .does it only work near to the time of cruse. cheers Jamie. Sorry there are so many questions to ask. This is my first cruse and I'm a bit overwhelmed by it all

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Hi - embarkation rules will depend on where you are in the world / where you are travelling to. Where are you boarding? Medallion app can be very glitchy - it didn’t work for us at all in advance of our cruise so we had to contact Princess over the phone and get them to sort it. Sorry, I know that’s frustrating. When is your cruise?

[@daveamey7272]

@@TravelBlogJamie wow thanks for your info Jamie .we are going from Southampton 2 sept and doing the western med trip stopping at Rome and Florence . as far as i know my girlfriends from south Africa and she has only one covid jab done ,I have proof of 3 .our passports are well in date .we already know she will need a visa . cheers .

[@albertfinney1328]

@@daveamey7272 Hope all is going well. I"m not in the least happy about this medallion thing. I called Princess 13 days before and a very nice Gizelle went through all the questions and entered answers for me. Told me I was good to go. I pick up THE THING at the port. Jab tends not to be a thing anymore and never should have been. I hope your friend has left well enough alone. Much to come out about that whole fiasco. Wish you all well and a great trip. Sounds amazing. I'm off to Alaska Crown Princess tomorrow. Not excited about this fob thing at all. Oh, embarking, yes, I asked for Vancouver, Canada, and was told times available and chose early. Idea seems to be to level out the crowds. IMOpinion Princess really knows how to treat people.

I have a question about cruisers food choices when lactose intolerant I will be on the Royal Princess March 27,2023 Hawaiian Islands to Ensenda

[@TravelBlogJamie]

You need to let the company know in advance so that they can cater for your dietary needs

[@maureenbolton7857]

If there are 3 main dining rooms, can I just ask whether you have an allocated one or can you mix it up at bit please Jamie?

[@TravelBlogJamie]

You can go to any you wish

Hi guys love all your trips and tips what are the platinum and elite lounges?

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Hi Steven! There aren’t lounges for platinum or elite guests specifically (ie people subscribed to the loyalty programme with lots of cruises under their belts) but first thing in the evening this particular lounge at the aft you’re referring to offers canapés to elite and platinum guests for a limited time. It then reverts back to every guest having access afterwards

Coffee shop in tivoli was really good we tried to resist but why fight temptation

@11:12 is that a standard measure of wine? would that be175ml?

[@TravelBlogJamie]

It was a large - I had a drinks package so don’t think they were too concerned about the measure

[@cherylknight8962]

Hello I'm just wondering is hot chocolate free on princess cruises?

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Hi - not from the coffee shop but k believe they serve it in the buffet

[@iangill8984]

Interesting about the rib. I had one in the grill on Jewel of the Seas and it was similar but the rest of the meal was very good and as a person who is 'a lot of space to be a waste of' it didnt matter much. I have had a couple of issues worth noting on other cruises. One was on P&O Ventura in its main dining room, I had a couple of lamb cutlets that looked like the ones in the reduced cabinet in a supermarket. Thin, gristle and fine for making a stock, awful as a main course, another time was in the Italian on board a Marella ship where the chicken caesar salad was a peasant not a Caesar! It was some Iceberg with sauce, a bit of Parmesan and that was it. In all cases I mention it quietly to the staff and asked for no fuss because there is plenty of food on board. Every time the head waitee came over grovelling and makinga scene despite my attempts to defuse the situation.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

As always, food very subjective but hopefully the vlog shows people what’s on offer and the presentation

[@iangill8984]

@@TravelBlogJamie I forgot to ask, are there special efforts in the main dining rooms on formal nights?
