Insider’s Scoop: Jess Sets Sail Aboard Princess Cruises

What was the highlight of your Princess cruise?

“The onboard theatre productions were out of this world. The It Takes Two ballet performance and phenomenal tribute to Fleetwood Mac by star-studded band, SeventhWonder (featuring the incredible Bloom) had me entranced.”

Did your Princess cruise excel your expectations? If so, how?

“It really did. I expected luxury, but I didn’t imagine the ship to be so regal yet inviting. Each corner embodied class and elegance while simultaneously exuding warmth and a sense of inclusion.”

What were your favourite activities/facilities onboard?

“If I’m honest, lazing on my private balcony, with a book in one hand and cocktail in the other, as the endless ocean gently swept by was among my favourite activities. When I felt like a little more adventure, the expert-led Pilates classes, hit Movies Under the Stars® sessions and old-world Piazza entertainment made for ideal days at sea.”

What surprised you most about the Princess cruise?

“Just how first-rate the service was. It’s apparent how passionate each employee is about providing outstanding, personalised service with a smile and genuine care. And the trendsetting OceanNow® program meant I could order my favourite snacks, drinks, toiletries and more with a click of a button, delivered to my exact location on the ship!”

What was your favourite restaurant on the ship and why?

“Kai Sushi was exquisite. Adorned in traditional Japanese aesthetics, the expert chefs prepare intricate sushi and sashimi right in front of you. Plus, the restaurant’s wine list didn’t disappoint!”

What is your number one cruise packing tip?

“Make sure to pack a USA-AU power adapter! The staterooms feature USB ports for your phone, but you’ll need the adapter for other electronic devices (such as hair styling tools).”
