5-Day Mediterranean Cruise Review: Did a short sailing ruin Princess Cruises for me?
Has short Mediterranean cruise culture ruined Princess Cruises for me? 🛳️💥 Welcome to the FINAL EPISODE of my Mediterranean series on board the Enchanted Princess! In today’s final review vlog, I’m breaking down my entire 5-day experience aboard the Enchanted Princess. I’ve always been a huge fan of Princess Cruises, but this short itinerary brought an unexpected atmosphere that honestly made me rethink things. I'm covering EVERYTHING you need to know: 📍 The Itinerary & Ship Overview: Is a 5-day European Princess cruise actually worth it? 🍽️ Food & Dining: Comparing the included dining vs. specialty upcharge options. 🎭 Entertainment & Cruise Director: Production show reviews (Spotlight Bar & Rock Opera!), the hard working Princess Singers & Dancers, plus a shoutout to the hilarious Cruise Director, Duval! 🛌 Mini-Suite Tour & Honest Review: A look at my stateroom—and why I was so disappointed by the tiny balcony. Cost : I share the cost of this cruise, for me as a solo cruiser, in a mini suite. This was definitely a 'sweet spot'!! 😋 The Bigger Question... Short cruises in Europe aren't typical for Princess Cruises, and this one definitely attracted a different crowd. Between first-time cruisers intent on maxing out their drinks packages and a challenging dynamic with rude, line-cutting behavior from a particular contingent on board, the atmosphere was unlike any Princess cruise I’ve done before. 💬 I want to hear from you: Is line-skipping and talking through theatre shows a cultural misunderstanding between Western and Eastern travel norms, or just poor cruise etiquette? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below! 💰 Final Breakdown: I share the exact cost of what I paid as a solo cruiser occupying a Mini-Suite (spoiler: it was an absolute bargain!). 🔔 Don't forget to LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for more real, honest cruise reviews! 🚢✨ 00:32: Itinerary Review and Score 05:04: Ship Review and Score 09:42: Entertainment Review and Score 12:12: Food Review and Score 13:40: Accommodation (mini-suite) Review and Score 14:14: Cost for a Solo Cruiser 16:18: Final Thought, Rude Behaviour and would I do it again? #princesscruises #EnchantedPrincess #solotravel #solocruise #cruisereview #shortcruise # cruiseetiquette
