Sun Princess rewards clients who use the first few hours to understand the ship. These five tips give advisors a simple embarkation-day briefing to share before departure.

Tip 1: Finish the Medallion setup at home

Encourage clients to complete the required Princess app and Ocean Medallion steps before traveling.

They should understand check-in, stateroom access, onboard payments, and where to view reservations. The official Princess app should remain the source for current instructions.

Tip 2: Find three navigation anchors

Clients do not need to tour every deck immediately. They should locate the Piazza, The Dome, and the main outdoor pool area.

These three spaces create an easy mental map of the ship. Once travelers understand how their cabin connects to them, the layout becomes far less intimidating.

Tip 3: Confirm the must-do reservations

Review specialty dining, signature entertainment, and any limited-capacity experience the client cares about.

Confirming the priorities on the first day prevents the final evening from becoming a search for whatever remains available. Leave the rest of the schedule flexible.

Tip 4: Choose the right daily retreat

Different spaces serve different moods. One traveler may prefer the activity around the main pool, another the atmosphere of the Piazza, and another a quieter wake-facing or adults-oriented area.

Clients should identify a reliable place to relax early. On a large ship, having a familiar home base reduces unnecessary walking and decision fatigue.

Tip 5: Check the itinerary before unpacking

Port times, tender operations, time changes, and excursion meeting points can affect the entire week. Clients should compare the live itinerary in the app with their own notes.

On Mediterranean sailings especially, a port-heavy schedule makes comfortable shoes, sun protection, water, and realistic pacing essential.

A Sun Princess guidebook gives first-timers the ship-wide context they need, while your recommendations turn that knowledge into a personal plan.
