My Experience Aboard a Princess Cruise Ship | December 2025

The first week of December 2025, my husband and I sailed aboard a Princess Cruise Ship, and I can honestly say it was one of the most seamless, relaxing, and enjoyable cruise experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we stepped on board, it felt less like we were customers and more like we were welcomed friends.

The Medallion™ Experience – A Game Changer

Let’s start with the Princess Medallion, because I absolutely loved it. Having staff and bartenders greet me by name before I even reached the counter was next-level service. It made the entire experience feel personal and effortless. I never had to pull out a card to pay for anything or even open my cabin door—the medallion handled it all. The facial recognition technology worked beautifully and made everything smooth and secure. Convenience at its finest!

Entertainment & Activities – Truly Top Notch

The onboard entertainment was phenomenal. From the theater productions to the classes offered throughout the day, there was never a dull moment. The Zumba and salsa classes were especially fun—high energy and well led. And the nightly theater shows? If you’re a Cirque du Soleil fan, you would have been blown away. The production quality was absolutely fantastic.

Premium Package – Worth Every Penny

We had the Premium package, and honestly—no regrets whatsoever. Once onboard, there was no worrying about what was included or not. Everything was already paid for. It was truly an eat, drink, and be merry experience. Preferred seating at shows, photos galore (by the end of the cruise my husband was sick of taking pictures—LOL), and complete peace of mind. I loved every bit of it.

Fitness & Wellness – Yes, Please!

Fitness classes were available and so worth it. Whether you’re into staying active or just trying something new, the options were great.

But the real gem? The Enclave Pass. If you love exclusivity, pampering, and pure relaxation—you must get it. The quiet escape from the hustle and bustle of the ship, the whirlpool easing every ache and pain, and the heated stone chairs… absolute bliss. It was relaxation at its fullest.

Dining – Decadent & Unforgettable

We chose to dine exclusively at the specialty restaurants, and wow—just wow. Every meal was decadent, beautifully prepared, and something we truly savored. The quality, flavors, and presentation blew us away. Specialty dining is a must on Princess.

Excursions – Easy & Stress-Free

Booking excursions through Princess was simple and gave us peace of mind. Knowing the ship would not leave us if an excursion ran over made all the difference. Highlights included Cooking with Tequila and Tequila Tasting—was so much fun and incredibly well organized.

The Crew – Like Family

The staff truly made this cruise special. Everyone was friendly, warm, and welcoming. By the end of the cruise, it genuinely felt like we were part of the family. The bartenders got to know us so well that we even celebrated one of their birthdays with the staff—such a fun and memorable moment!

Housekeeping was outstanding—everything was always neat, tidy, and well taken care of. Absolutely no complaints there.
