Review summary

Over all the cruise was very good. There were a few changes that did't work so well for me. I couldn;t use the internet which I had free minutes cus of some security thing with my cell phone. Next time I will not take my cell. Food was surperb as always and the entertainment get better each cruise. The big wash basins as you enter the Bistro were the wrong shape and size. This caused alot of water to be on the floor. People would see this and not use it. I was not impressed with the water fountain on the pool deck. Sure it was pretty but also got the rest of the floor wet. I know of a few that wiped out trying to get around. Disembarkation was the best we have ever had. We always recommend Princess Cruiselines. Last thing to say is that we wanted a 14day cruise not 2-- 7day cruises so in planning our next cruise we will focus on that no matter which cruise line.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We had a deluxe balcony cabin but were dismayed at the size of the balcony. We could hardly move our chairs around and could not have visitors in to sit with us on balcony. We used the balcony a lot to get away from the noise on deck.

Just got back from criuse 2018. Great cruise. Food excellent. Staff wonderful. After 12 cruises I think I'm done with cruising. Didn't want to sit in the sun and cook like previous years. Really tired the whole time. Snorkelling in Bonaire was awesome. Disappointed that the Royal Princess is a copy of the Regal Princess. Entertaiment was really good and a huge variety. I don't drink alcohol so the proliferation of "watering holes" was beyond reasonable. Tried a cabin right at the back of the ship. Nice and quiet. We did not get smoke from the decks above or soot from the stacks. Different cus you only are where you have been not where you are going. Overall good but need something different.
