Sea Princess - Cruise Ship Visis

Earlier this week I was lucky enough to be invited on board Sea Princess at the Dover Cruise Terminal. The thing that most impressed me on board was the outdoor space and two swimming pools - one of which had a large, shallow overflow area which meant you could paddle or sit on the side and dip your toes in - I'm sure small children would love this feature too (and it was warm, even in Dover!) They also have the big screen for Movies Under the Stars. Unfortunately, we weren't on anywhere near long enough to experience this but I can imagine being somewhere warm and tropical up on deck in the evening with a box of popcorn, laying on a sunbed enjoying a movie! It's definitely a thumbs up for Princess Cruises for that feature!

The ship was mid-cruise and fully booked so we weren't able to view any of the cabins. We viewed the public areas including restaurants, the gym and spa, The Sanctuary (adult only area available for a small supplement) and the bars. Every Princess ship has a Wheelhouse Bar (English-style pub) which proves very popular and often has musicians playing. All the ships have a similar feel to them and look the same, they use the same colours across the fleet to ensure the vibe is the same - it felt very relaxed although when I was on board, a lot of the guests had disembarked for the day. The space to passenger ratio is important on board so even the 'smaller' ships feel spacious and on the large ships they try to create a small ship feel.

All the Princess ships are family friendly but if you want something very family focused, Caribbean Princess is the ship to try. Princess are also one of the only cruise lines who allow parents to go ashore on their excursions and leave the children on board in the kid’s club (one to remember!) Coming soon there is a new benefit for kids too, until now they've not gained any loyalty benefits but going forward this will change! They do limit the number of children on board each cruise though so it's highly recommended that families book early, particularly for school holiday dates!

Princess give additional benefits to military and shareholders which are combinable with the current offers. All of these offers are bookable through me too. We also use the same Captain's Circle (loyalty club) numbers you would use directly so you get all the same benefits booking through me. So, if you are interested on sailing on board Princes Cruises please do get in touch, I'd love to help.
