Not the best cruise for families and young people. Seems better suited for an older (60+ crowd). Staff was very nice, and common areas beautiful. Movies Under the Stars was a highlight!
Embarkation
2 out of 5
Terrible. No direction on where to go, or that there was food available on the lido deck. We were just left to wander to our room , after tracking someone down for directions
Ship experiences
Food and Dining

2 stars, only because I’d the speciality restaurants, pizza, Trident grill; which were amazing. Dining room , buffet were a disappointment.

Did not have children on this trip
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Everyone was exceptional, with the exception of our dining room waiter
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Only drawback was the Princess Theater, which is poorly designed for enjoying drinks during the show, and the seats are too small and crowded
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Excellent size and exceptionally clean and well-maintained. Large, spacious room!
Ship tip
Small pool, no slides, kid zones on deck. No kids activities that I saw advertised. Maybe not the best cruise for kids
Our first cruise 4-27-19 getting excited, we wanted it to be about the ship and sail experience not the ports. We chose Mexican Riviera on Royal Princess because of the many sea days. So far none of the Excursions are anything we would be interested in and that's okay. We live close enough that we are familiar with the culture there. We plan on getting off at the ports and walking around...again for us our first cruise is gonna be more about the ship experience. We will focus on Excursions next time.
We found each port excellent...we always do our own private excursions when in port for next to nothing money, and so very exciting to see each culture and what it's got to offer...my personal view is "it's as good as you make it"
