Going on this ship in March we’re used to going on the bigger and newer ships. We just sailed on the Discovery Princess which was beautiful. Thanks for the informative video now we kinda know what to expect.

I totally agree about the gym. The beds are the best and the interior cabin rocks for sleep. We actually will be on the CP twice in 2024 one cruise in the Caribbean and one in Europe and in 2022 we did 14 days Canada/New England. It wasn't planned, just worked out that way on the CP. Great crew. WE've been on 38 cruises spread over different lines.

Pretty good video but you’ve gotta remember a couple things. The premium packages are never worth it, why? Number one shipboard credit. I will be taking a 16 night cruise at Southampton England next summer and I was awarded $360 on board credit by the cruise company. I booked it with, in addition being military retired I get an additional $250. When you sum up the cost, my gratuities in my Wi-Fi are paid for which by the way, I get Half off because I am a platinum on Wi-Fi. So in summary, you have to do a cost benefit analysis before you get the “grand savings“.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not Platinum so the Wifi discount doesn't apply to me. I applied my OBC for the package
