Review summary

We have done 9 cruises on Princess-3;Royal Car.2;Celebrity-3

Food was the best.10 in the Horizon,9 in the main restaurant 

Horizon flow of people was ok,a few times lack of seats

Concerto dining room provided lots of room, soft seats,atmosphere.Our waiters were good but seemed to be a little slow.

Enjoyed the sports deck,golf, shuffle board,bocce.I love table tennis but it was to windy-poor design.Hot tubs are good for 4 people only.Wonderful atrium and how it  had everything in one area.Loved the deals or sales on stuff.I even(male)bought some items!Theatre was not impressed;just seats and hard to get out.

Our island stops were the best of any of our cruises.We snorkel at two stops,did  long hikes to water falls on two excursions,and did coral world at St.Thomas.As before we could not get to the private island because of rough weather.It was in the 80s for 7 days-better than the 20s in Michigan.Overall I give the cruise a 9.

Go Spartans.

We thought of trying RC but now that we have 5 cruises with Princnot sure I want to risk it. We have always tried to pick a newer ship before making any date selections. That seems to make a difference- did you like RC is it worth a try. I think princess could have a few more physical activities on board.More scheduled soccer matches or volleyball something you could join in on...still love them!
