How to Plan the Perfect Princess Cruise

Planning a Princess cruise can be a daunting task thanks to all the amazing destinations you can visit, but with a little bit of guidance, even the planning process can be more enjoyable than you might anticipate. Just think: You’ll have a vacation to look forward to, and you’ll get the satisfaction of knowing everything’s planned out to a T. In this article, we will provide tips on how to choose the right cruise and make the most of your voyage so you can focus on the fun of Princess Cruises.

Starting Your Research

If you’re planning to take a cruise, be prepared to take care of a little work. There are many different types of cruises to choose from, so it can take some time and research to find the one that best suits your needs and interests.

Before you book your cruise, be sure to read through the many available reviews. This will help you get a good idea of what kind of Princess cruise you want to take and what to expect. Remember to take into account your budget when booking your cruise. There are many different options available, some of which are designed for budget-conscious travelers, so find the one that fits your needs and budget.

Finally, be sure to remember to have fun while on your cruise! Cruising is a great way to enjoy a holiday and see some amazing sights.

Choosing the Right Cruise

There are a few things to consider when planning your cruise: what type of voyage will be best for you, what ports of call will you visit, and what types of activities are available.

When choosing a cruise, it’s important to consider what type of voyage you want to take. There are three main types of cruises: all-inclusive, port-only, and mixed-type cruises.

All-inclusive cruises allow you to experience the destination without having to worry about budgeting for meals or other expenses. The ticket price you pay covers multiple aspects of your cruise. This is a popular type of cruise, and they often offer the widest variety of activities and ports of call.

Port-only cruises focus on a single port of call and allow travelers to experience that city or country in depth. They’re great for travelers who want to explore a new destination without having to worry about transportation costs.

Mixed-type cruises combine elements of all three types of cruises into one trip. This allows passengers to have the best of all worlds: all the convenience of an all-inclusive cruise, the variety of ports offered by a port-only cruise, and the opportunity to experience a country or city on a mixed-type cruise.

No matter which type of cruise you choose, be sure to research the different ports of call available. Some destinations offer more than one port of call, so be sure to plan your trip based on your interests and preferences.

Of course, one of the most important factors when planning a cruise is budget. Remember that there are no limits to how much you can spend on a cruise, as long as you’re willing to pay for amenities such as food, drinks, and entertainment if you don’t purchase an all-inclusive ticket. Just be sure to research prices ahead of time so you don’t get caught off guard by any hidden charges when you go to book. Get familiar with the possible fees and taxes you’ll need to pay, too, so you can budget for them accordingly.

Once you’ve chosen your cruise, be sure to research the available activities. There are plenty of options for active travelers, from parasailing and diving to tours and cultural experiences. Be sure to ask about specific activities available before booking your cruise so you can maximize your enjoyment.

Planning your first Princess cruise can be overwhelming, but with a little bit of guidance, it can be a fun and exciting experience. Different types of cruises and their benefits make cruising a great way to enjoy a holiday.

Things to do on a caribbean cruise with princess cruises.

The Caribbean cruise excursions available with Princess Cruises are absolutely incredible. You’ll be intrigued by the special sites you can see such as the Baby Natural Bridge in Aruba, a beautiful spot to gaze upon natural grandeur and snap a few pictures. You can trek through the Mayan Ruins of Belize City, a place where architectural scenery and history can be felt in your bones. From Pigeon Island in St. Lucia to Harrison’s Cave in Barbados, this region will leave you in awe and bring you back for more with these vibrant cruise excursions.

• Fig Tree Drive & Turner’s Beach by 4WD (Antigua, Antigua & Barbuda) Maneuver a 4WD Land Rover along the beautiful land of Antigua past Body Pond and Buckley Village while you learn about the local flora and fauna. Next you’ll head to Fig Tree Drive, which is a little confusing since in Antigua, they call bananas figs. You’ll also see mango groves and pineapple fields.  

• Rainforest Adventure & Asa Wright (Trinidad, Trinidad & Tobago) Asa Wright is a nature center, known for its bird watching. On this excursion you will take a walk through the tropical forest and keep your eyes peeled to the sky to spot toucans, hummingbirds and butterflies.  

• Climb & Challenge Course Adventure Park (Dominica) Visit the Wacky Rollers Adventure Park where you will get a safety briefing before you embark on a crazy obstacle course where you journey from tree to tree via zip lines, foot bridges and cables. After your adventure, relax with a drink and some fresh fruit.  

• Clay Villa Plantation House & Beach (St. Kitts, St. Kitts & Nevis) Clay Villa has been occupied for generations and here you’ll see flora, fauna, beautiful art and a variety of animals. It’s famous for being the only sugar plantation on the island that never used slave labor. After your tour of the villa, visit Cockleshell Beach for some time in the sun.  

• Chichen Itza Mayan Ruins (Progreso, Mexico) Chichen Itza is a ruin of a city that is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Here you’ll learn about the Mayan people and their astoundingly advanced society. You’ll see the Temple of Kukulkan, the Great Ballcourt and the 365-step pyramid.  

• Deep Sea Fishing (Princess Cays, Bahamas) Take a deep sea fishing trip out between Eleuthera and Little San Salvador where you’ll find a great spot where fish like tuna, wahoo, billfish and mahi mahi all hang out. You’ll be able to spend the afternoon fishing, but this program is catch and release, so no fishy souvenirs.

The Caribbean Princess features 3 main dining rooms, a 24-hour buffet, and numerous specialty dining restaurants.

At Caribbean Princess, the recipe for all guests is simple: Relax. Play. Repeat.

This vessel is well equipped for families of all ages thanks to plenty of activities and dining options to keep everyone busy and happy.

All active cruisers can spend some time in the Sports Court and be part of a Basketball or Volleyball match. If doing nothing is what you have in mind, head down to one of the four pools aboard Caribbean Princess and get your dose of Vitamin C.

Caribbean Princess also features a world-class art collection, onboard lectures, exhibits, and classes, cruisers can also get a taste of culture on board.

At Princess, flexibility and variety always go hand in hand. When booking your cruise, you can decide if you want to do traditional dining (you want to dine at the same time for every meal) or anytime dining (You can dine whenever you prefer). Both options are available at different main dining rooms and reservations can be done throughout the day.

Caribbean Princess also features the International Café and World Fresh Marketplace, between these two casual dining rooms, guests can always grab a satisfying bite — whenever hunger pains (or just the munchies) strike.

Bars & Lounges

Many of the bars and lounges at Caribbean Princess are located around the Piazza, through decks 5, 6 and 7.

Venues such as the Lobby Bar, Vines and Churchill Lounge feature delicious cocktails, live music, and a cozy atmosphere. You’ll find it easy to spend endless amounts of time in one of these spots.

The Skywalkers Nightclub is where the dance party happens! From disco to Motown, you’ll dance the night away with popular hits of all times.

For those who plan to spend unlimited time at the pool deck, The Outrigger Bar and the Calypso Bar have you covered. Located close to the pool deck, they have an amazing staff that will go around the pool deck ready to bring you a chilled beer bucket or a frozen Pina Colada.

Entertainment

By day, passengers can watch (or partake in) wacky onboard games including the popular “Men's Sexy Legs Contest”, trivia quizzes, seminars and much more.

Throughout the day, families can take advantage of “Movies Under the Stars”, a 300-foot outdoor movie screen on Deck 15, where you can cozy up under a blanket, grab a bag of popcorn and watch a classic film.

Each night, cruisers can also enjoy big-production shows in the Princess Theater or lively dance parties in the Club Fusion. The Casino is also open for all gamblers, with different contests happening during the night.

Spa & Fitness

The Lotus Spa and fitness center, located on Deck 16, are a must-see. The spa and sauna ease cruisers into a relaxed state of mind. Traditional beauty services, massage, body wraps, facials, and a sauna and steam room (these amenities require reservations) are offered.

The adjoining gym features a professional staff, top-notch equipment, and an unbeatable view. (Turn off the treadmill's TV to look up and enjoy sweeping ocean views.) In addition to the assortment of cardio equipment, weights, and mats, passengers can sign up for yoga, Pilates, or spinning classes.

Kids & Teens

Princess certainly considered their youngest passengers when designing onboard activities. In addition to the kid-friendly splash pool, several areas are geared toward kids and teens, including a teen-only center complete with a foosball table, bean bags, and a Flat-screen TV.

Mom and dad can have a date night and take advantage of the kid-sitting, available in the evenings (as with everything on a cruise — book ahead to secure a spot).

The onboard kids’ activities are available for children from 3 years old to teenagers of 17 years old. Many of these activities will include mom and dad because at Princess is important that families have quality time together.

Onboard Shopping

Shopping is also a favorite thing to do in a cruise and at Princess you will have access to many popular and premium brands.

Take advantage of the tax and duty-free and choose between brands like Swarovski, Chanel, Estée Lauder, Clinique, Lancôme, Calvin Klein, Citizen and Tissot, plus local crafts, keepsakes and souvenirs.

A cruise is also a great place to buy jewelry, with a shopping consultant onboard, feel free to ask as many questions to make sure you select the right piece.
