ITTN’s Industry Reporter Ita Hendrick spent 24 hours in Rome with Rebecca Kelly and Princess Cruises to experience the 360 dining on Enchanted Princess.
We started off the experience with a tour around Rome with Angeltours.eu in their very comfortable golf carts. They were happy to take us to see as much as we could fit in the short space of time we had there. We had approximately four hours to see the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain and The Vatican.
The following morning we were collected by Princess Cruises coach to take us to Civitavecchia port to board Enchanted Princess Cruise Ship where we were about to experience the 360: Extraordinary Experience. Upon arrival onboard, we had a ship tour by our ‘hostess with the mostess’ Rebecca Kelly.
Enchanted Princess is an absolute beauty with all the beautiful decor, lively bars & spectacular outdoor areas. There are 25 bars and restaurants BUT the best was yet to come…
360: An extraordinary experience is a destination inspired immersive 7 course meal paired with drinks and adventures in the Mediterranean. It engages all your senses with the tastes, sights, sounds, touch and fragrances of the Mediterranean. This fully immersive experience is the cruise lines most epic experience offered and is only available to guests booked in Suite accommodation on Discovery Princess and Enchanted Princess. VIP casino guests are also invited.
We were the first outside of the states to experience this from a journalist point of view. It’s a very unique experience with two seatings of 20 guests each per night and it is almost always booked out.
There is talk that in the near future it will be offered for sale but there is no price point as of yet!
