We Were Asked to Leave Our Room…Then Princess Cruises Dropped a Bombshell on Us!

[@TheRealCindyN]

Newbie cruisers need to keep in mind that content creators get upgrades the average person doesn't get, if at all. And for an Alaska cruise, which is almost always sold-out, I'm shocked a mini-suite was even available. Princess knew the upgrade would be on camera & then uploaded to KZbin.

[@lennie7888]

You are exactly right. Princess did it for the publicity only. I’ve been on 33 Princess cruises and have never once been offered an upgrade. So if you are just a very loyal Princess customer, don’t ever expect an upgrade.

[@uk2mama]

yeah this does not happen to normal vacationers.

[@amandareiche9083]

Platinum w/ Princess--purchased all level cabins--never an upgrade.

[@PeterPonomarenko]

To me, THIS video is NOT good advertising. It shows a kid screaming loudly while going down the corridors, basically making it impossible for all those people in their rooms to get some rest. That means the company has poor corridor management and does not care about what people do there. Would you accept such behavior and such management in a hotel? I sure wouldn't.

[@user-ur2qn1hg1o]

Thank you for the recap. No need to watch the video.

[@davidhoffman8122]

Two weeks before we went on the Carnival Splendor we were upgraded from and interior to a SPA SUITE. It was fantastic. We are not people who are content creators and I am not sure why I was offered the upgrade. HOWEVER since it was our Anniversary cruise I jumped on it. The Spa was included and we visited it everyday. See even us "normal" cruisers get lucky once in a while. LOL!

[@annmariehongach5791]

That smile on grandma’s face is priceless!❤❤❤❤😊

[@blissfuljoy6049]

😊 this is great. Just to warn you, when they get to be about 2, the naps get goofy. They are tired but they are not 😬. Don't expect naps past 3, it's a maybe . She's super cute!

[@donnawhiting8194]

Noa is really just the cutest baby. I love that she is so animated as well.

[@g.scotttapp1951]

So Princess realized they were on camera, and said well "let us show you our best". Nice!

[@TrevHolland]

That's exactly it. Saw them walking around vlogging, did a little recon on YT, saw they had subscribers. Boom, upgrade!

[@Skyhagg94]

I travel for a living and I can honestly say my Level 8 cases (I have your bag in carryon and the large trunk) are the best ones I have ever owned. I almost gave up on clamshell rollers but Level 8 practically roll themselves. They are so well balanced and the larger handle makes a world of diff!!!!!

[@berniekirk1397]

As I get older I find going down the stairs ok but if I am going up more than a few decks, it is elevator all the way.

[@ArleneKing1372]

Definitely! I like exercise, but constantly going up the stairs DOES get hard on aging knees & legs. Aging is not kind!! (I’m 79)

[@andershay99212]

I have a 4 flight rule. If it's under 4 flights stairs it is. Over 4 elevator here I come.

[@SueBohlinDallas]

“Scooter Sue” here. ALWAYS Team Elevator! 😂

[@raisafrancisco7323]

I am team stairs!! You have to burn some calories on a ship. Noah is the cutest baby, OMG!! She is a natural KZbinr!!

[@debbief2882]

OMG, that smile when asked if she wasn't supposed to be napping! 😂

[@amandareiche9083]

Stairs depends on how many steps I have taken already in any given day!--75 yrs old here!

[@cruiznmama]

Team Mama, all the way!!! Especially after my knee replacement.

[@FlashyKam72]

Your hair is to die for, Alyssa. Baby Noah is precious beyond words. Hard not to miss them being that age. My daughter is 24 now (also biracial) and stunning.

[@thebrentrobinsonshow2882]

Noah is going to have her own travel channel when she grows up.

[@connieosburn6886]

What a beautiful ship .Thanks for taking us along . I love the upgrade. What a beautiful daughter you have !

[@GracefullyMissJC]

Great seeing grandmom & our little princess! ❣️❣️❣️

[@pisces11105]

When we cruise we try to take the stairs as much as possible but we also do take the elevator. I really love your videos and love the dynamics between you and Alyssa and Baby Noa

[@DeeDeeH20]

Team Griff and Alyssa!! Love this. Want to do an Alaska trip !! saving up.

[@AnnmarieNaimo]

Noa is Absolutely beautiful. Glad you got upgraded. 😃⚓️

[@humeston258]

Ok you guys have convinced me I need to book a Princess cruise to Alaska !

[@wendynikkel6953]

We just got off royal princess Auckland to Sydney. Great ship, great food, great service. But all 4 of us got really sick with sore throats, coughs, colds. We wish we had worn mask in elevators and lining up. People have no problem coughing in crowds and passing bugs on.

[@karriemcneal2597]

Awwwww she was mortified thinking y’all had to leave… That broke my heart… 🥴🥴😍😍

[@annmariehongach5791]

I’m so happy you got this upgrade! If ANYONE deserves it YOU do! ❤❤❤

[@maryswanson9982]

We got upgraded to the owner’s suite on our last cruise. It was half the size of our house!

[@truejaneysue8269]

Princess looks like a very nice cruise line. I will need to sail with them soon. Thank you for the nice review. Looks like ya'll all had a wonderful time!

[@BartonKashmer]

Both...Mornings and most of the day team stairs...once we are too tired from overdoing the day it's team elevator.

[@craig4dana]

Mini suite with the premier Package will give you free laundry and the steward washes dries and folds it for you

[@rheabry]

What is a Press Trip? I have never been upgraded. It appears they want a good review.

[@kennywalker4091]

My knee and stairs no longer get along. Going up is excruciatingly painful and coming down I run the risk of it giving out. But man I used to run up and down those stairs, was Team Stairs all the way! Now I'm looking at Team Knee Replacement and Scooterville! 😂😅😊

[@ArleneKing1372]

I hear you! 😮

[@lindapeterson3613]

Grandmas can do what ever they want. They earned it.

[@sosopepper]

Yes, I love my "Grandma" status! 😂

[@cutemel6]

Yes I’m proud to be a Mema! Love my grandkids! Elevators all the way.😊

[@maryminoff4353]

Noa is beautiful such a joy to see her excitement. Just love watching your family vlogs.

[@aimeehodgin6359]

:) A Moose is bigger than a Ford Expedition!!! I was going 35 over the railroad tracks & then completely stopped on Dalton Hwy by a Moose & he kicked out my grill at the front of my SUV. I was driving back from a very exciting Fairbanks Nanooks Hockey game. My SUV saved my family & me! Noah is adorable!

[@vickimccollum2537]

Sometimes Noa's eyes have looked blue to me, and more hazel at other times. I think the camera somehow changes her eye color, and Alyssa's eye color too. But they both have beautiful eyes. She has her dad's cute smile.

[@HotChickenNV]

We were in the MS next door to that one (last year)! It was the best location ever! Quiet, convenient…we loved it!!!!!

[@pileofstuff]

I don't understand why most cruise lines don't make Victoria a proper length port stop. It's a beautiful city with plenty to see and do. They're doing their passengers a disservice by only stopping for a couple of hours late in the day when everything is closed.

[@arich9326]

It's not always up to the ship or the cruise line themselves. A lot of this has to do with politics, the people at the port, whatever country it is, whatever City they're going to. There's a lot more to it than just an arbitrary decision to screw over passengers.

[@ArleneKing1372]

Victoria DEFINITELY is worth a full day visit! (& I’m a Cdn 🇨🇦 who lives in Vancouver, BC)

[@nicolettesimmons7413]

Omg. I was like I’m ready fight! Kicked out the room! Upgrade! So many emotion in 60 seconds.

[@Jrsun4ever]

OMG!! I LOVE Noa!! So so cute!!! Lucky little girl to experience and see all the different destinations with parents who absolutely adore her!! And an Upgrade ..loan you hear me scream Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh. lol Please keep sharing!!

[@sherrijustice6482]

I'm with momma on this. I'm 63 and have Emphysema. I can't do stairs. Heck I would have to have a scooter. I just love watching y'all and your adventures.

[@susielandry7988]

Team stairs unless it’s more than 5 floors up😂

[@bcarol2484]

Checked out the Level 8. Looks like good quality and a good company. If I traveled more it would be a definite consideration.

[@eminiarvii]

The eyes on Alyssa…when Griff said ‘baby back ribs’😂 The. Crab cake looked delicious..Thx guys🚢🙂

[@seanchristohper]

She played that so good I totally thought they kicked you guys out😂😂😂😂

[@sswan9689]

After kids learn how to walk then they discover they can run & they will never walk again. Lol!! They just run 🏃🏽‍♀️ 🏃🏽‍♀️ 😅😅

[@SleeperOne]

Griff, might i suggest the Halfday Travel Garment bag for you suit/shoes/etc needs... Can be a carry-on as well.

[@GriffandAlyssa]

I really love the Vessi Back Pack, it's solid!

[@sherrimcconnell936]

Team Griff and Alyssa. Work off the cruise food as I eat it. No elevator challenge all the way.

[@kitkat0229]

Baby Noah was definitely the star of this vlog ❤

[@thomassarver7638]

Team Stairs and we are in our 70s

[@shariherrington7035]

As someone with hip dysplasia, I envy you. Keep going!!!

[@ArleneKing1372]

My friend and I used to do 50/50 between the stairs/elevator. However the last two years haven’t been kind to both of us, if/when we cruise again it will probably be elevators :( (We are 79)

[@JenniferAdrift]

Enjoy the stairs while you can, lol. But I'd be hanging with Mama!

[@kimkrentcil4581]

Team stairs as much as possible- plus it means less time at the gym on vaction

[@joelroach416]

Team stairs. Upgrades are nice. In my opinion the Princess dessert was much better when it was just a heart shaped chocolate mousse with a drizzle of raspberry on the plate. The raspberry is too much now. Was my favorite before they changed it.

[@contrarymargemarge9538]

The upgrade room is really nice!

[@miniprepper8284]

Elevator for more than 2 floors. Stairs... Down the glass stairway especially if I look snazzy.

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

Team stairs. Nice up grade congratulations 😊 .aww Noah just adorable 🫶.

[@mollymitchell6242]

You are getting special treatment because of who yall are. Us regular people aren't as blessed as this. Oh well, I'm happy that you have been blessed🎉.

[@sherylchasse3028]

Team Gigi Elevators all day!!!

[@102810281028nl]

What a super nice family vacation. Your daughter is so adorable.

[@stephladouceur]

Cullen I taught the same thing at the same time when you mentioned Alyssa's biceps tone in her sweater haha!

[@salliestewart4713]

Alyssa your makeup at dinner is fantastic what foundation do you use?

[@MatthewMehren]

stairs! four cruises, never been in an elevator. I get sooooo many steps in during cruises. helps offset all that great food ;)

[@maryanngambino7608]

These places look fabulous! I hope it’s a good surprise!!! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@stellawiltshire8007]

Stairs, unless I'm wearing heels...which is very rare.

[@jedi6527]

Team Grif down, team Mama up

[@KathyL4444]

I would love to have to leave the room for that reason! More room for baby Noa! Nice balcony view. Self-serve laundry, that's fantastic.

[@contrarymargemarge9538]

Cruise looks wonderful!

[@arlenemaxwellcopeland1644]

Team stairs. The elevators are often a pain, or just crowded, or slow. And I'm a proud nana!

[@shonnie089]

Now that's the kind of bombshell drop I can get into! Congrats on the upgrade!

[@travelfan0011]

I love Griff's mom she is the best and She is wrapped around Noa's Finger lol

[@annmariehongach5791]

Noah, is just soooooo damn cute! I can’t stand her cuteness! ❤❤❤❤❤ Team Griff and Alyssa are pretty awesome too! 🎉❤

[@ChristieYounghouse99]

Team STAIRS.. Going on my first Princess cruise in 60 days. Think I have been spoiled by going on Virgin first.

[@lindapeterson3613]

What a nice surprise for y’all. You deserve it.

[@whimpyj]

You guys are awesome!! My new favorite channel 😝

[@trishkeller8228]

This grandma is still stairs for as long as I can!

[@JohnDarwin7]

Hopefully you enjoyed your stay.

[@murraychadwick9362]

Team stairs! That gives us a view of the ship!

[@hollypotter6989]

Scooter riders, elevators please. I would love a spiral ramp leading to each deck. Maybe reserve it for disabled people on scooters, in wheelchairs, walkers, strollers etc. it would be so much easier than waiting for overcrowded elevators.

[@shariherrington7035]

Noa is so beautiful! Enjoy this age. She’s adorable! ❤❤❤

[@Sue-we1qo]

Awesome! Very fortunate!!

[@maryanngambino7608]

You guys are such an attractive family! Princess should pay you for modeling! Love your show! Blessings to many happy future cruises! 👼👼👼

[@tonybarnes7516]

Team stairs keep the weight down on the cruise.

[@kimberliebuffington910]

PRINCESS Discovery is my favorite ship! ❤

[@kelleighohara83]

8:14 OMG WHAT A TEASE! 🤣🤣🤣

[@robertb7864]

Noa is so adorable!

[@flotaylor8170]

Team stairs; it’s the only way I can justify the amount of food I eat.

[@sswan9689]

Did Gigi get an upgrade also, or she had to stay back? When Noa had her arms around Alyssa and smiling/laughing she looked exactly like Cullen 😅

[@catkiki7779]

So Happy For you guys enjoy God Bless !

[@norcaljennifer]

Team Stairs!

[@MBigras-vv5up]

Team stairs all the time

[@cydneystephen2814]

Hey guys. One flight with no crowds cuz I’m slow and usually the pretty atrium stairs then I’m team you guys; otherwise team mama. Ppl can be mean and impatient. Sorry you had an allergic reaction to something. Upgraded is what’s up 🙌🏼👏🏼🙏🏼. Oh a tub. Nice Princess has self laundromat. Oh that crab cake looks like you need 2😂. Great day guys. Thanks for sharing 🤗

[@amandareiche9083]

They knew that dock was inoperable well before your docking....

[@dawnturner8735]

Totally team momma! Lol, I walk with a cane and walker through.

[@barbarahernandez4713]

Love the laundry!

[@barbborja1910]

Best dessert on Princess, the chocolate hazelnut soufflé. Congratulations on the upgrade. The mini suites are amazing, especially with kids.

[@dragonpynk5091]

Team Elevator - I got your back Mama... lol

[@fayeberman9218]

By medical necessity, I’m team elevator. Having just been on my first cruise, I’d have been better off if I could use the stairs.

[@bottiano1118]

Team stairs!

[@claudiamartin9700]

Team stairs

[@AmberGarza-m9y]

Team Stairs! Unless I’m in heels 😂

[@AllegedlyMaybe]

Yall are a beautiful family from gma to noa to all in between
