New video is LIVE: Be Kind to the Crew — I Thanked the Star Princess Crew for the Holidays

Question for you: What’s one small way you show appreciation to the crew (or plan to on your next cruise)?

If you’re deciding between cabin categories (or wondering if Sanctuary is worth it), this tour will help.

Would you book a Sanctuary Mini-Suite, or would you stick with a standard balcony?

🌴 New Video Just Dropped! 🌴
If you’ve struggled to book dining reservations on Princess Cruises — either before boarding or once onboard — you’re NOT alone. I’m hearing from cruisers daily who can’t get into specialty dining, can’t use Premier benefits, or are staring at “no availability” in the Princess App.
Today I’m breaking down exactly what’s going on, what you can do to work around it, and how to avoid wasting precious vacation time waiting in line.
Whether you’re sailing the ✨ Star Princess, Sun Princess, Discovery, Enchanted, ✨ or any Princess ship, these tips will save you frustration, time, and money.
