Review summary

Enjoy the trip overall. Would do it again in the future. Would recommend the Royal Princess to anyone for a cruise ship trip. The ship was relatively new, clean and well maintained.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
The process was a little confusing based on guidance provided by the check in staff. Normally, it is good, but this time they sent club members to nonmember lines and the staff there did not know why.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Dining room service was slower than on past cruises and the food quality was not up to the past standards. The specialty dining was first class on both service and food quality. The buffets contained a good variety of food choices as well as menus reflecting different counties of origin

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Usual activities were available. The pool music was very good.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The first two comedians and singer were very entertaining.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Service was slow in dining room. Room steward was great

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was beautiful and well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The bedding probably needed to be upgrade, but other than that there was plenty of space and comfort in a balcony room. The on demand TV/MOvie System was a real plus.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida Did not visit port

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
Always one of the best Caribbean Islands to visit - has the shopping, tours and beach locations to enhance a visit

Fort-De-France, Martinique

3 out of 5
Just went to the beach, but found the two beaches available did not meet the normal Caribbean standards I've experienced else where. The sand was hard pack, not soft and white. The water temperatures were good, but clarity was very poor.

St. George's, Grenada

3 out of 5
7am to 1pm visit was too short. Did not leave ship

Bonaire, Netherlands Special Municipality

5 out of 5
Always a nice visit. Although rocky in some places, the beach was still enjoyable and the water tempature/water clarity was perfect

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5
very nice place to visit.

Disembarkation
