Additional details
For a variety of reasons, we had no intention of going on any kind of a holiday this year. However, towards the end of May an email offer from Princess popped up that seemed too good to be true. My husband took a look at it and said we'd be idiots not to check this offer out further...so we did and we booked on the Royal Princess.
It was only after we booked that I dug up my old user ID on Cruise Critic and started to become aware of the various comments that had been posted about this new ship.
I have to admit that I read a lot of the negative comments with a grain of salt. Not every ship suits everyone's tastes and preferences. However, we are not the sort of people to base whether or not to sail on a ship based on someone else's opinions. To us the itinerary is the most important aspect;a good price is not dismissed lightly. And trust me....we got a VERY GOOD price on this cruise.
Cabin Review
Balcony
Quiet room in a great location mid forward near staircase. An easy place to navigate throughout the ship from. If you are doing a lot of shore excursions, just a quick and short flight down the stairs to the Princess Theatre where many shore excursions meet. A long walk from the laundry room if you plan on doing laundry.
