I agree with you. We just returned from a 10 day cruise on Royal Princess. Very disappointed with the whole experience. Will return to Holland America or Celebrity before going on another Princess.

Personally, I prefer Princess over Celebrity -- the entire ship seems to be part of a single entity rather than completely separate areas not tied together with any theme.

As far as the central stairs, they were just added during drydock and were not yet completed until about day 4 of the first sailing.

Menu choices have always been exceptional on any of the Princess ships we've been on. Long waits.....what's the hurry? Go and have a glass of wine. "Entertainment".... it's what you make it. Poor Internet....take a break from the WWW.... that's why you're on holiday. As for the spa - yeah it's usually over priced. Perhaps cruising is not your thing.

Been disappointed with Princess food in the past. Very ordinary with weird combinations.
