Newbie cruisers need to keep in mind that content creators get upgrades the average person doesn't get, if at all. And for an Alaska cruise, which is almost always sold-out, I'm shocked a mini-suite was even available. Princess knew the upgrade would be on camera & then uploaded to RUclips.
You are exactly right. Princess did it for the publicity only. I’ve been on 33 Princess cruises and have never once been offered an upgrade. So if you are just a very loyal Princess customer, don’t ever expect an upgrade.
To me, THIS video is NOT good advertising. It shows a kid screaming loudly while going down the corridors, basically making it impossible for all those people in their rooms to get some rest. That means the company has poor corridor management and does not care about what people do there. Would you accept such behavior and such management in a hotel? I sure wouldn't.
Two weeks before we went on the Carnival Splendor we were upgraded from and interior to a SPA SUITE. It was fantastic. We are not people who are content creators and I am not sure why I was offered the upgrade. HOWEVER since it was our Anniversary cruise I jumped on it. The Spa was included and we visited it everyday. See even us "normal" cruisers get lucky once in a while. LOL!
😊 this is great. Just to warn you, when they get to be about 2, the naps get goofy. They are tired but they are not 😬. Don't expect naps past 3, it's a maybe . She's super cute!
I travel for a living and I can honestly say my Level 8 cases (I have your bag in carryon and the large trunk) are the best ones I have ever owned. I almost gave up on clamshell rollers but Level 8 practically roll themselves. They are so well balanced and the larger handle makes a world of diff!!!!!
When we cruise we try to take the stairs as much as possible but we also do take the elevator. I really love your videos and love the dynamics between you and Alyssa and Baby Noa
We just got off royal princess Auckland to Sydney. Great ship, great food, great service. But all 4 of us got really sick with sore throats, coughs, colds. We wish we had worn mask in elevators and lining up. People have no problem coughing in crowds and passing bugs on.
I'm with momma on this. I'm 63 and have Emphysema. I can't do stairs. Heck I would have to have a scooter. I just love watching y'all and your adventures.
I don't understand why most cruise lines don't make Victoria a proper length port stop. It's a beautiful city with plenty to see and do. They're doing their passengers a disservice by only stopping for a couple of hours late in the day when everything is closed.
It's not always up to the ship or the cruise line themselves. A lot of this has to do with politics, the people at the port, whatever country it is, whatever City they're going to. There's a lot more to it than just an arbitrary decision to screw over passengers.
Sometimes Noa's eyes have looked blue to me, and more hazel at other times. I think the camera somehow changes her eye color, and Alyssa's eye color too. But they both have beautiful eyes. She has her dad's cute smile.
Princess looks like a very nice cruise line. I will need to sail with them soon. Thank you for the nice review. Looks like ya'll all had a wonderful time!
OMG!! I LOVE Noa!! So so cute!!! Lucky little girl to experience and see all the different destinations with parents who absolutely adore her!! And an Upgrade ..loan you hear me scream Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh. lol Please keep sharing!!
You are getting special treatment because of who yall are. Us regular people aren't as blessed as this. Oh well, I'm happy that you have been blessed🎉.
Team stairs. Upgrades are nice. In my opinion the Princess dessert was much better when it was just a heart shaped chocolate mousse with a drizzle of raspberry on the plate. The raspberry is too much now. Was my favorite before they changed it.
My knee and stairs no longer get along. Going up is excruciatingly painful and coming down I run the risk of it giving out. But man I used to run up and down those stairs, was Team Stairs all the way! Now I'm looking at Team Knee Replacement and Scooterville! 😂😅😊
Scooter riders, elevators please. I would love a spiral ramp leading to each deck. Maybe reserve it for disabled people on scooters, in wheelchairs, walkers, strollers etc. it would be so much easier than waiting for overcrowded elevators.
My friend and I used to do 50/50 between the stairs/elevator. However the last two years haven’t been kind to both of us, if/when we cruise again it will probably be elevators :( (We are 79)
Hey guys. One flight with no crowds cuz I’m slow and usually the pretty atrium stairs then I’m team you guys; otherwise team mama. Ppl can be mean and impatient. Sorry you had an allergic reaction to something. Upgraded is what’s up 🙌🏼👏🏼🙏🏼. Oh a tub. Nice Princess has self laundromat. Oh that crab cake looks like you need 2😂. Great day guys. Thanks for sharing 🤗

yeah this does not happen to normal vacationers.
Platinum w/ Princess--purchased all level cabins--never an upgrade.

Thank you for the recap. No need to watch the video.
Noa is really just the cutest baby. I love that she is so animated as well.

That smile on grandma’s face is priceless!❤❤❤❤😊

I have a 4 flight rule. If it's under 4 flights stairs it is. Over 4 elevator here I come.
As I get older I find going down the stairs ok but if I am going up more than a few decks, it is elevator all the way.
Definitely! I like exercise, but constantly going up the stairs DOES get hard on aging knees & legs. Aging is not kind!! (I’m 79)
You guys are such an attractive family! Princess should pay you for modeling! Love your show! Blessings to many happy future cruises! 👼👼👼
Baby Noah was definitely the star of this vlog ❤
OMG, that smile when asked if she wasn't supposed to be napping! 😂
So Princess realized they were on camera, and said well "let us show you our best". Nice!
That's exactly it. Saw them walking around vlogging, did a little recon on YT, saw they had subscribers. Boom, upgrade!
“Scooter Sue” here. ALWAYS Team Elevator! 😂
Noah is going to have her own travel channel when she grows up.
Awwwww she was mortified thinking y’all had to leave… That broke my heart… 🥴🥴😍😍
Stairs depends on how many steps I have taken already in any given day!--75 yrs old here!
Team Mama, all the way!!! Especially after my knee replacement.
I am team stairs!! You have to burn some calories on a ship. Noah is the cutest baby, OMG!! She is a natural RUclipsr!!
When we cruise we try to take the stairs as much as possible but we also do take the elevator. I really love your videos and love the dynamics between you and Alyssa and Baby Noa

Best dessert on Princess, the chocolate hazelnut soufflé. Congratulations on the upgrade. The mini suites are amazing, especially with kids.
Both...Mornings and most of the day team stairs...once we are too tired from overdoing the day it's team elevator.
Mini suite with the premier Package will give you free laundry and the steward washes dries and folds it for you
What a beautiful ship .Thanks for taking us along . I love the upgrade. What a beautiful daughter you have !
Great seeing grandmom & our little princess! ❣️❣️❣️
Team stairs unless it’s more than 5 floors up😂
Omg. I was like I’m ready fight! Kicked out the room! Upgrade! So many emotion in 60 seconds.
I'm with momma on this. I'm 63 and have Emphysema. I can't do stairs. Heck I would have to have a scooter. I just love watching y'all and your adventures.
I’m so happy you got this upgrade! If ANYONE deserves it YOU do! ❤❤❤

Victoria DEFINITELY is worth a full day visit! (& I’m a Cdn 🇨🇦 who lives in Vancouver, BC)
Noa is Absolutely beautiful. Glad you got upgraded. 😃⚓️
We were in the MS next door to that one (last year)! It was the best location ever! Quiet, convenient…we loved it!!!!!
Sometimes Noa's eyes have looked blue to me, and more hazel at other times. I think the camera somehow changes her eye color, and Alyssa's eye color too. But they both have beautiful eyes. She has her dad's cute smile.
Princess looks like a very nice cruise line. I will need to sail with them soon. Thank you for the nice review. Looks like ya'll all had a wonderful time!
She played that so good I totally thought they kicked you guys out😂😂😂😂
We got upgraded to the owner’s suite on our last cruise. It was half the size of our house!
Checked out the Level 8. Looks like good quality and a good company. If I traveled more it would be a definite consideration.
OMG!! I LOVE Noa!! So so cute!!! Lucky little girl to experience and see all the different destinations with parents who absolutely adore her!! And an Upgrade ..loan you hear me scream Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh. lol Please keep sharing!!
Ok you guys have convinced me I need to book a Princess cruise to Alaska !
What is a Press Trip? I have never been upgraded. It appears they want a good review.
You are getting special treatment because of who yall are. Us regular people aren't as blessed as this. Oh well, I'm happy that you have been blessed🎉.
The eyes on Alyssa…when Griff said ‘baby back ribs’😂 The. Crab cake looked delicious..Thx guys🚢🙂
Team stairs as much as possible- plus it means less time at the gym on vaction
I would love to have to leave the room for that reason! More room for baby Noa! Nice balcony view. Self-serve laundry, that's fantastic.
Team stairs. Upgrades are nice. In my opinion the Princess dessert was much better when it was just a heart shaped chocolate mousse with a drizzle of raspberry on the plate. The raspberry is too much now. Was my favorite before they changed it.
Team stairs! That gives us a view of the ship!
Team stairs. The elevators are often a pain, or just crowded, or slow. And I'm a proud nana!
Team Griff and Alyssa. Work off the cruise food as I eat it. No elevator challenge all the way.
My knee and stairs no longer get along. Going up is excruciatingly painful and coming down I run the risk of it giving out. But man I used to run up and down those stairs, was Team Stairs all the way! Now I'm looking at Team Knee Replacement and Scooterville! 😂😅😊
I hear you! 😮
Enjoy the stairs while you can, lol. But I'd be hanging with Mama!
After kids learn how to walk then they discover they can run & they will never walk again. Lol!! They just run 🏃🏽♀️ 🏃🏽♀️ 😅😅
Team Gigi Elevators all day!!!
Team Grif down, team Mama up
Stairs, unless I'm wearing heels...which is very rare.
What a super nice family vacation. Your daughter is so adorable.
Grandmas can do what ever they want. They earned it.
Yes, I love my "Grandma" status! 😂
Team Griff and Alyssa!! Love this. Want to do an Alaska trip !! saving up.
Team stairs. Nice up grade congratulations 😊 .aww Noah just adorable 🫶.
This grandma is still stairs for as long as I can!
Now that's the kind of bombshell drop I can get into! Congrats on the upgrade!
stairs! four cruises, never been in an elevator. I get sooooo many steps in during cruises. helps offset all that great food ;)
Noah, is just soooooo damn cute! I can’t stand her cuteness! ❤❤❤❤❤
Team Griff and Alyssa are pretty awesome too! 🎉❤
Cullen I taught the same thing at the same time when you mentioned Alyssa's biceps tone in her sweater haha!
Scooter riders, elevators please. I would love a spiral ramp leading to each deck. Maybe reserve it for disabled people on scooters, in wheelchairs, walkers, strollers etc. it would be so much easier than waiting for overcrowded elevators.
Team Stairs and we are in our 70s
As someone with hip dysplasia, I envy you. Keep going!!!
My friend and I used to do 50/50 between the stairs/elevator. However the last two years haven’t been kind to both of us, if/when we cruise again it will probably be elevators :( (We are 79)
Team stairs keep the weight down on the cruise.
Noa is so adorable!
You guys are awesome!! My new favorite channel 😝
What a nice surprise for y’all. You deserve it.
8:14 OMG WHAT A TEASE! 🤣🤣🤣
These places look fabulous! I hope it’s a good surprise!!! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Awesome! Very fortunate!!
I only wish I could ever get upgraded. I am never that fortunate. Great job and I am glad your family enjoyed this great upgrade. Kudos Princess‼️
Elevator for more than 2 floors. Stairs... Down the glass stairway especially if I look snazzy.
Noa is so beautiful! Enjoy this age. She’s adorable! ❤❤❤
I love Griff's mom she is the best and She is wrapped around Noa's Finger lol
Did Gigi get an upgrade also, or she had to stay back? When Noa had her arms around Alyssa and smiling/laughing she looked exactly like Cullen 😅
Team stairs all the time
Team Stairs!
Alyssa your makeup at dinner is fantastic what foundation do you use?
Hey guys. One flight with no crowds cuz I’m slow and usually the pretty atrium stairs then I’m team you guys; otherwise team mama. Ppl can be mean and impatient. Sorry you had an allergic reaction to something. Upgraded is what’s up 🙌🏼👏🏼🙏🏼. Oh a tub. Nice Princess has self laundromat. Oh that crab cake looks like you need 2😂. Great day guys. Thanks for sharing 🤗
A moose is huge! Didn't have perspective until that video with the jogger chased and hit by a moose.
PRINCESS Discovery is my favorite ship! ❤
They knew that dock was inoperable well before your docking....
Stop the commercials every 2 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Griff, might i suggest the Halfday Travel Garment bag for you suit/shoes/etc needs... Can be a carry-on as well.
I really love the Vessi Back Pack, it's solid!
Team stairs….for the MOST part. Not doing stairs in 👠👡
Yuck I hate shower curtains
By medical necessity, I’m team elevator. Having just been on my first cruise, I’d have been better off if I could use the stairs.
So Happy For you guys enjoy God Bless !
Totally team momma! Lol, I walk with a cane and walker through.
Team stairs!
Team stairs
Team Elevator - I got your back Mama... lol
I team Mama because I am disabled and have a lot of trouble going up and down stairs.
Down the stairs , up the elevator team Gigi
If I was young and healthy I would be team y’all but I’m gonna have to go with team momma.
Your sweet baby is super adorable
With there opening statement, i already seen what was coming
Never been on a cruise. But in everyday life stairs going done and elevator going up
Team Stairs! Unless I’m in heels 😂
