My Insider Tips for Sailing Celebrity Cruises
Princess offers immersive, destination-focused tours, including Local Connections excursions led by locals. These often sell out early—let me help you pre-book the best ones for your itinerary.
Download the MedallionClass app ahead of time to complete your check-in, set up your preferences, book dining, and use onboard features like locating friends, ordering drinks, and requesting service from anywhere on the ship.
For a splurge, consider the Chef’s Table Lumière, a multi-course, wine-paired dining event. Also look for Princess-crafted experiences like chocolate tastings or wine blending on select sailings.
Princess is known for its poolside movie nights, complete with popcorn and blankets. It’s one of the coziest ways to wind down after a day in port.
On longer voyages, you’ll often find destination lectures, cultural classes, and workshops that enhance your experience and bring your destination to life.
Available on sea days in the main dining room, Afternoon Tea on Princess is a delightful, elegant ritual—complete with scones, finger sandwiches, and music.
Restaurants like Crown Grill, Sabatini’s, and The Salty Dog Gastropub are easier to reserve on sea days. They offer a refined, intimate dining experience that rivals land-based restaurants.
With your Medallion device, you can order food, drinks, or even extra towels via the app—and have them delivered anywhere on the ship, including poolside!
Ask me to help you create a personalized daily cruise plan—from dinner reservations and excursions to spa appointments and enrichment events—so you can truly relax and enjoy.
