Mom Approved Overview - Princess Cruises

Moms should get a vacation too

At Mom Approved Travel, one of our core beliefs is Moms should get a vacation too.

What that means is, Mom should actually enjoy going on a Princess Cruise vacation – she should not be stressing or spending her precious time worrying about which kid-friendly activities are available in Alaska, how best to navigate Princess Cays, spending hours researching all the packing things, or making sure she doesn’t miss important payment, activity or check-in deadlines.

When Mom hires Mom Approved Travel to plan her Princess Cruise, she can spend her time and energy elsewhere, and get back to the business of Mom life!

We plan Princess cruises a little differently, as our personalized cruise planning approach is crafted to protect the precious time and hard-earned travel dollars of overwhelmed Moms (and Dads). Unique Mom Approved processes allow you to focus on the fun and spend less time worrying about or messing with the logistical details of your cruise – we take care of those for you!

Your family is unique, which is why it is important to have a Mom Approved Travel Advisor that understands this and will curate a Princess Cruise vacation for your entire family unique to their interests, needs and wishes!
