Service and Staff

2 out of 5

Nobody wanted to be there, minimum friendliness and lazy/lying staff.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

Well and fun design, but with my room having litter after it was “ready” really turned me off from the feel.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5

Would be better if it wasn’t a mess

Ship tip

To get your money back and go on a different ship with staff that cares.

We had a fantastic time on the Royal Princess in May/June '22. The staff were always attentive, & the food was excellent. I still believe the saying: "an average day on a cruise ship, beats a good day on land".

What a shame, it sounds awful. We were on Royal Princess in June in Alaska and had a wonderful time. However I did have to send back a few lukewarm meals but it was quickly rectified.
