Nice tour!
Hi. Thank you for watching our video and leaving a comment. We are glad you found the video useful. Happy Cruising!
Lowell’s was a great recommendation!
Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. We are glad you enjoyed Lowell's. Happy Cruising
We have an Alaska Cruise Tour on Coral Princess in May 2025 to celebrate our 50th anniversary. We booked the Premier Package. We appreciate the detail analysis and are very excited to hear we can enjoy our cruise knowing we will come out ahead by having the package. Thank you!
Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. Congratulations on 50 years of marriage! We are glad you fond the video useful and we agree that both Plus and Premier are very good deals. Happy Cruising.
Did they charge for this?
Hi. Thank you for watching our video and leaving a comment. There is no charge for the Afternoon Tea! Happy Cruising!
Princess Theatre: Emerald Princess Feb. 2024; could never get a seat...was packed full, with people having to leave, and not being able to watch the show, as there was no room...you had to be there ONE HOUR prior to the show, in order to get a seat! PoolDeck Chairs: oh, the chair saving debaucle... it is real folks! and no crew members did anything about it! My last Alaska cruise was 1998 on HAL, the swimming pools had an atrium cover that closed on cooler days, and they cranked up the water temp...so we could swim in the pool...
Hi. Thank you for watching our video and sharing your experiences. If you liked the HAL ship then you may want to try the Island or Coral Princess. They are similar size and also have the indoor pools. Happy Cruising!
I don’t know if gratuities changed since recording, but I show 18%. We are in a 18% gratuity stateroom as well. That’s even more savings. Does it change to 17% on beverages, if you are in a 17% stateroom? I did not understand it as such.
Hi. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. The tips on beverages are 18% for any cabin. If you have Princess Plus and Premier there is no additional gratuities because they are included in the package. Hope this helps. Happy Cruising.
Thanks! Great video - heading onto this ship soon. Do you recall what the max odds bets were at craps?
Hi! Thanks for watching a leaving a comment. Princess has Double Odds fleet wide on all their ships. On our cruise on the Caribbean Princess they just increased the craps minimum to $10. However, we were on the Island a month later and they had $5, so I don't think the $10 minimum is fleet wide - I hope not! Happy Cruising!
@@ACruisingGoodTime Thanks!
What is it that they add to the prices for the drinks? Like 18$ plus ?
Hi. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. If you do not have a package then Princess will add 18% gratuity per drink. There is no additional gratuity added if you have Princess Plus or Premier. Happy cruising!
Hi, Thank you for your detailed info. I want to use an Uber to Terminal for NCL Prima cruise. Terminal 25 or 28? Which address do I provide to Uber? 2502 Harborside or 2702 Harborside? Please let me know. Thanks!
Hi. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. Please check your Cruise documentation for which pier you will be docking at - many ships alternate between the two piers. The two piers are next to each other and very walkable if needed. Happy cruising.
Great review! I'm cruising her in November 2025. REALLY looking forward to a "smaller" ship. I used to sail on the MS Maasdam (1400 passengers!) and loved it. ALSO going back to Bonaire (I'm the guy who told you about the mono-hull sail boat excursion that was wonderful) and of course looking forward to doing it again!! We've done Regal Princess out of Galveston several times and enjoyed it but looking forward to our second Princess ship even though we have to drive from Texas to Ft Laudedale to reach southern Caribbean. Love your videos! Keep up the good work!!!
Hi Again! Thank you for your kind words and supporting our channel. We just got off the Island and she received a big refurb in dry dock last September. We will have an update ship tour video out in a few weeks. Thanks again for watching! Happy cruising.
@@ACruisingGoodTime Ok, I just booked it today!! I've done all these islands but really love Grenada!! (and of course Bonaire!)
Good info I heard the cost was 10.00 to have those sent in the mail.glad they have free shipping.Thanks!No sense to have to pay Princess for green line access!
Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. We also made a video about saving money on Princess if you do not buy the Plus or Premier packages here: th-cam.com/video/CbN5wwJ5LEM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=z6YQF6pN2BPViuLC. Happy Cruising!
I bought the standard fare kinda worried about being charged for every little thing with the ocean ready app.Have a bad feeling about that.
Hi, Once you pay for Ocean Now once, it is good for the entire cruise. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment.
Great job with this video! My wife and I are sailing on the Regal Princess in 2 weeks and all of your content has been very helpful. Happy New Years!
Thank you so much for your kind words. We strive to have useful content and really appreciate feedback. We have other videos on Galveston Embarkation and the Western Caribbean. Let us know if you would like for us to send any links or answer any questions. Happy Cruising!
It’s $199 pp for almost 3 hrs via NCL Encore vs. $150 direct from train website…
Thank you for sharing your knowledge about NCL. It is very interesting that NCL has such a big mark-up for an excursion that is so easy to do on your own. Happy Cruising!
Worst cruise was on Carribbean Princess. Food was ordinary and ship needs a refresh! It was our first cruise with Princess and we will never go on there ships again!
Thank you for watching and for your comment. The Caribbean Princess is my least favorite Princess Ship. It sounds like you are cruising with other lines. I would be interested to hear more about your favorite cruise lines or ships. Happy travels.
@ we have sailed a lot on Holland American, Viking, Seaborne, NCL, Oceania. They are all much better than Princess!
Thank you for sharing! We are excited to hear about your cruise preferences and experiences. We are thrilled about trying our first Holland America cruise in April! Happy new year!
What are dress codes for the dining areas on an Alaska cruise ship?
Hi. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. Most cruise lines have a "smart casual" attire for dinner and 1 or 2 formal nights on a week long cruise in the main dining rooms. It will be more casual in the buffet. Happy cruising.
What is your favorite thing to do in Juneau? Please let us know.

Pretty smart of the crew to leave sick bags in the stairwell!
😀. Thank you for watching and supporting our channel. Happy cruising!
Great advice!! Love the metal hooks! If you put them on the ceiling (also magnetic) they have enough strength to hold a wet robe. That way it’s dry for your next hot tub time!
Hi! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. This is a great idea. Happy cruising.
Very helpful! I get plus and when I add my 2 specialty coffees a day, casual dining and my love of cruise ship Pina Coladas, the Plus works for me!
Hi! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. We agree that Plus is a good deal. We are glad you found the video useful. Happy cruising.

Hi. Thank you for watching and your support. We always like to hear from you! Happy cruising!
Thank you for watching. Please let us know any tips you have for staying in an inside cabin!
So the outdoor promenade goes full length around the ship except one end?
Hi. Thank you for watching our video and leaving a comment, Yes, on the Island Princess you can walk the full length around the ship. You have to cut through the inside at the aft and at the bow there is an outside hallway that connects the two sides. Happy cruising!
Hello I’m interested in rendezvous cay. Did you book it at the port?
Hi. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. We booked Rendezvous Cay directly through Princess. We bought it before we cruised, but usually you can also by it from the shore excursion desk or app once you get on board. Happy Cruising.
When you’re walking around, looking at places to eat, is it easy to tell which are included in the regular package not the premium or plus packages?
Hi. Thank you for watching our video and leaving a comment. Most of the menus will indicate if it is included in Plus or Premier. We have this video that goes into more detail about the Plus and Premier packages and venues. th-cam.com/video/j5MZnpGEgtA/w-d-xo.html Happy Cruising!
You can always ask your cabin steward for more coat hangers if you don't have enough. I would do this first thing on the cruise as extras may be hard to come by later. Our last cruise was 28 days so we had a lot to hang up. We always bring a cake of soap as well, don't fancy the shower gel they supply.
Hi. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. You have a couple of real good ideas. Happy cruising!
Love the Island. I keep one of those clips to the back of door to hold the tip $ for morning delivery
Hi and Thank you for all your support. That is great idea to keep the clip on the door for the coffee tip! Happy Cruising!
Right or left seat is the best? Looks like left side is best.
Hi. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. We think the left side is better because you get the views looking up the valley. But right side gets a great view on the return so you can’t go wrong either way. Happy cruising!
Very nice info especially on the alcohol tax!
Hi. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. We are glad you found the video useful. Happy cruising.
We would like to do a private snorkelling tour on roatan for a group of 9. Which company did you use.

Great video, thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching and leaving a comment! We are glad you enjoyed the video. Happy Cruising.
Great video. I am contemplating doing a Panama Canal transit in April 2025. I have seen other videos that spoke to the need for a major refurbishment and they mention that she was to go to dry dock in the fall of 2024. Do you know if she did and if so what was the scope of the refit?
Hi Thank you for watching our video and leaving a comment. Yes, the Caribbean went into a 3 week dry dock about 2 weeks after we got off. We are currently on the Island Princess which also had a 3 week dry dock since we last were on her in December 2023 and there are a lot of changes. The biggest changes are around making her more accessable - more ramps, some lower bar counters, wheel chair lifts, etc. Also almost all new carpet. The hot tubes also look new. So based on our experience on the Island, we expect a lot of updates for the Caribbean as well. Happy Cruising!
@@ACruisingGoodTime Thanks for the info
We have been to Europe many times in dead of winter and heat of summer. Athens is stiffling in August. Very little shade and just full of concrete to keep the heat in. We are Aussies and use 110f but we struggled to go sightseeing in Athens. We have booked a cruise for next July leaving Athens. Flying in 2 days earlier and have zero intentions of leaving our hotel. The islands are so much cooler. We have done September on the islands and its much more pleasant.

When you talk about the specialty dining with premier, does that mean there is no additional cost and you just go and eat "for free" since you've paid for the package? Similar to an all-inclusive style resort. Or is there still a cost even with premier?
Hi. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. You are correct - there is no additional cost with Premier at Specialty Dining unless you add one of the up-charged meals ( i.e.surf and turf). Premier essentially makes the cruise into an all inclusive. Happy Cruising!
@ACruisingGoodTime thank you!
If you want a personal copy of the Folio, at least the way the Princess app worked in mid-2024, you'll need to take a series of screenshots of it *_before_* you disembark. Once you're out of range of the ship's intranet, that information disappears from the smartphone. Princess needs to fix this by providing a PDF download option that one could save on one's phone and/or email to oneself.
Hi. Thank you for your comment. This is a good idea. I usually receive the emailed folio within a day or two of disembarkation. A refund check - well that takes several weeks.😀. Happy Cruising!
For my previous cruise in May 2024, I took a screenshot of the the boarding pass on my phone and, using graphics software on my personal computer, converted it to a credit card size piece of paper that I was able to slip into a vinyl badge holder and secure along with my Cruise Medallion to my shirt collar or shirt pocket flap with a badge holder clip. This eliminated the need to mess with a cell phone while juggling my luggage in the boarding queue. I added luggage tag information to my reformatted boarding pass as well, making it do double duty as a luggage tag, which I secured to my bags with additional vinyl badge holders and clear vinyl "worm" loop straps. Princes Cruises should make that a built-in option for everyone in their smartphone applications. If you had your Cruise Medallion(s) mailed to you ahead of time, I found that they largely ignore the boarding pass and prefer to electronically read the medallions if you have them prominently visible during boarding. Having the boarding pass available as a backup is a good thing, though, because I have read reports of medallions with bad batteries that made them die almost from the get-go.
Thank you for watching our video and leaving a comment! That is a very clever idea. A great thing about the medallion is that I don't think I have shown the actual boarding pass in the last year - the medallion scans as the boarding pass. Thank you for the tip! Happy cruising!
Great suggestions
Thank you for your comment- we always forward to hearing from you. We are on the Island doing a crossing right now. Happy cruising.
Definitely like a hot tub in the snow - great fun. Thanks for the information.
Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. We always like to hear from you. Happy cruising!
Where did you purchase the fish and chips?
I need to look back at our notes and raw video. It was a local place recommended by the train conductor.
Have you cruised the North Sea or Arctic Ocean? Please share your experiences.
The last Princess cruise I took was over 10 years ago onboard the Grand Princess on a 7 night Alaskan cruise and I’m looking into booking with Princess again onboard the Caribbean Princess next year out of Port Everglades for a 10 night South Caribbean with Martinique. This will possibly be my second cruise with Princess and my third cruise in general. I’m really excited for the itinerary and the private island. It seems more relaxing than booking a Royal cruise and stopping at Coco Cay and deal with all of the noise and large crowds along with the jacked up prices that Royal Caribbean charge for the the extras that are offered on the island. Happy cruising!🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. This sounds like a fun cruise that you have planned. We have a video on Princess Cay that you may find useful here: th-cam.com/video/FfDpm6_USrY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2DNRXIgrsKvT_lbz. Welcome to the community and happy cruising!
I had to conduct my own analysis and was looking for confirmation when I came across your analysis. Great job, guys!
Thank your for watching our video and your kind words. We are glad you found it useful. Happy cruising!
Which Princess ship is your favorite?? The only Princess ship I've been on is the Regal Princess which sails out of Galveston at different times of the year. Good video, folks!
Thank you so much for your comment. It is very difficult for me to say what is my favorite Princess ship. All of them have aspects I love. I especially love the Enchanted Princess, the Crown Princess, the Ruby Princess and the Emerald Princess. For some itineraries the Island Princess is my favorite. I am going to quote one of my friends, “My favorite Princess ship is the one I am currently on.” Please let us know if you want to hear more information on any particular ship. Happy Cruising!
@@ACruisingGoodTime I noticed in your tour of the ship you mentioned that you like to dance; so do I! did you find a place (besides the atrium) that played some good rock or Motown? Perhaps a real piano bar??
