🎥 In this video, we’re answering 10 real fears and questions we had before sailing on the Grand Princess by Princess Cruises for our 7-night round-trip Alaska cruise from Vancouver. From wondering if our obstructed Oceanview cabin E224 would have any view at all to concerns about the ship's age, plugs in the room, food options, entertainment, and hot tubs, we cover it all. If you're planning a Grand Princess Alaska cruise, this video is packed with helpful insights before you board.
🛳️ We’ll also share our thoughts on the email we got asking us to switch sailings for a future onboard credit. Was our cruise oversold? Were we still getting a cabin? Plus, we answer common questions about formal nights, lobster, pool temperatures, complimentary food, theater shows, and more.
