As you’d expect, cruise line websites make planning your cruise sound wonderful. And cruises ARE wonderful. They are one of our favorite ways to travel because of the wonder of being on a floating city and because it makes budgeting easy. But there are things that a cruise website doesn’t tell you – the little tricks and tips that make your time onboard, and on excursions, go more smoothly with less stress and more enjoyment. After years of cruising, and after a specific cruise with Princess Cruise Line, I wrote an article, and recorded this accompanying podcast, to help RealFoodTravelers uh, navigate your time on a Discovery Princess (or any other Princess cruise) so that it all goes… swimmingly.
