Review summary

My wife and I had a great time on the Royal Princess in Feb. of 2015.  We did not go into the first port of call, that being Princess Cay Island, because of rough weather, however enjoyed the other posts and the rest of the cruise.  This is the third time we have cruised on Princess and feel they do above average job in food, intertainment, and accomodations.  Our last cruise, in 2013,  was on the Celebrity Silhouette.  The balcony cabins were larger, we had more "perks" like more credits to spend on board, more credits to spend in ports, and felt even though the food was good on the Princess, the food was slightly better on the Celebrity Silhouette. We did like some of the nightly intertainment on he Princess better than the Celebrity, however both were very good..

Being a newer ship, it was very good!

Cabin / Stateroom

Smaller than other balcony staterooms we have had on other lines

Ship tip

Most of the deck lounge chairs were used and hard to find because of so many people on deck trying to get some sun.
