Princess Cruises with Fueled By Journeys

Absolutely. Princess is one of the best choices for first-time cruisers — the ships are large and well-laid-out, the service is attentive without being formal, and the variety of dining, entertainment, and shore excursion options means everyone finds their rhythm quickly. The MedallionClass technology also makes embarkation and onboard navigation incredibly easy.

Princess has one of the strongest Alaska programs in the industry. Their ships are perfectly sized for Glacier Bay and Inside Passage routes, and they have exclusive access to Denali lodges for land tour combinations. If Alaska is on your bucket list, Princess is consistently one of the top two recommendations I make.

The standard Princess fare includes your stateroom, most onboard meals (main dining room and buffet), entertainment, and basic activities. Specialty dining, beverages, gratuities, Wi-Fi, and shore excursions are typically add-ons — unless you book with Princess Plus or Princess Premier, which bundle many of these together at excellent value.

For most travelers, yes. Princess Plus includes beverages, gratuities, Wi-Fi, and fitness classes — for many guests this pays for itself within a few days. Princess Premier adds specialty dining, photo packages, and more. I help clients compare the math based on their specific habits so they choose the right bundle.

Yes — I handle the full trip, not just the ship. Pre-cruise hotels near the port, flights timed correctly around embarkation, and post-cruise extensions are all part of what I coordinate for clients. Getting these details right can make a significant difference in how smoothly your trip runs.

In many cases, yes. Through my agency relationships, I often have access to added perks like onboard credit, cabin upgrades, or exclusive group rates that aren't available when booking directly. Reach out and I'll check what's available for your specific sailing.
