I called Princess Cruises directly for my upcoming cruise. Martin was very responsive and helpful. This is not at all sponsored by Princess Cruises; he is just a nice guy and easy to work with.

I love sharing all that I have learned about how act like an experienced cruiser in a fraction of the time thanks to CZcams. For all you veterans out there, be sure to let us know what mistakes I missed that we should avoid.🙃🙂

[@user-kd3vi7kx5d]

Wow, what great insight, thanks soo much! Keep these great vids coming!

[@cruisingwithkristie]

So glad you liked it. Any mistakes you averted?

[@user-wj4pt6fg8q]

Wish I was there drinking wine and planning our next cruise with you!!

[@cruisingwithkristie]

That would be great. Next time you cruise out of LA email me at [e-mail] and we can make it happen.

[@clmoss83]

Good point about the hangers, never thought about that. :) I always roll my eyes at the people that say they are determined to "get the most out of their drink package". Fifteen cocktails a day? Hope you are taking lots of pictures because you won't remember a thing, lol.
