Review summary

Royal Princess is a clean, modern ship. Using the medallion had its pros and cons. Nightly theatre entertainment was great. Daily games were boring, imo. The naturalist, Mr. Raincock, was a plus - keep him on. Sorry to say, however, that even with mask requirements, almost NO one wore them! We found the disrespect, disregard, and lack of enforcement irritating and disappointing. ALL 4 of us, who gladly wore masks, got Covid. Not fair.
