Review summary

We went on an 8 day Southern Caribbean cruise on the Royal. It was a great time. I would break it down as follows: Embarkation: The baggage check and check in process was very quick and easy. After check in we did have to wait 45 minutes or so to board but the process was all pretty simple and we were able to get into our room immediately after boarding. Entertainment: The stage shows were all pretty good. The comedian was funny. They did have one guest singer that I would characterize as marginal. The entertainers on the pool deck and in the bars were all very good. The cruise director, Matt O, is a star and his staff are all very good. The trivia and game shows were all a blast. Dining: We had fixed dining and our servers were great. The food was always very good and served fresh and hot. Even the buffet and pool deck food was really good. If I had any complaint it would be a lack of bartenders. They were all friendly and were clearly working very hard but there simply were not enough creating some lengthy delays getting drinks. Cabin: The room was nice and our steward was excellent. We had a balcony cabin which was not huge but certainly met our needs. We did have to call a couple of times to get our TV working correctly but, other than that, it was all fine Excursions: We did excursions through Princess in Curaçao and Bonaire. The tour guides were good and we had a great time on both. Disembarkation: leaving the ship was very organized and easy. We located our luggage easily and made it back to the airport without any trouble at all This was our first trip on Princess after previously only having sailed with Disney. I don’t know if I can say they are quite at Disney level but certainly are a much better value. We have more cruises planned on Princess
