Review summary

The Royal Princess is a beautiful ship. The entertainment was exceptional. Shows were good and the band Static were the best we have ever had on any ship. Our trip was a little clouded over by the “Murder Mystery” that is being looked into by the FBI. The cruise went on as usual however.

Go to Alfredo’s for lunch when you embark. Less crowded than the Lido. Food is very good.

After an island tour which are usually good, unless you scuba dive there really is not much to do. No nice beaches on the island. Book a North South tour and you will not be disappointed. Great for your first visit.

Why did you think the ship layout was confusing? Was this your first Princess cruise.

Glad to hear that you enjoyed a good band! A couple of years ago on Carribean Princess there was a band called Evolution which was excellent and very much enjoyed.

I agree that Static was great. I thought the entertainment was very good. The comedian on two nights, Movies Under The Stars, Kory Simon (piano player) to name only a few.
