Overall Review: Royal Princess does not have all the attractions of the ships catering to high activity family entertainment. This ship cannot provide the thrills of wave riders/skating rinks/water slides etc. It is an excellent choice if you are looking for a relaxing slow paced vacation without the line ups. The youth clubs are excellent and there is plenty of classic style entertainment for all ages. Be ready for a pampered beautiful cruise.

Cruisers: Mostly an older group. Some middle agers, and some families. We never felt crowded. There were few waits for any service. Princess is very good at catering to all ages and offers entertainment in the Piazza and on the Lido deck at the same time. Lido is the dance party movies pool fun space and the Piazza is the classy gorgeous ballroom venue. Some of the RP cruises are older, and move a bit slower, this is a slow paced ship. No hurry here! We could always find loungers at the pool on sea days and seats for the bands. Some of the cruisers were so experienced they were looking for RP to be like all the other ships, its not, it has some of the old favourites but also has some great features for families. There had been some cruisers not appreciating having kids on the dance floor but Princess encourages that these activities were "for Families" the staff were great about assisting when other dancers complained about the kids joining in. There were 44 kids on our cruise with 100 on dec 15th cruise and 300 over Christmas.

Entertainment: Lido had movies under the stars, a few were family suitable some were very violent. Check your Patter so you can avoid the inappropriate ones. Popcorn and Swirls ice cream were a big hit as the kids shows were during the day. Lido also had a dj fun dance party, lots of pool room for swimming, make sure to attend the fountains kids play option in the morning 9-11 twice during our cruise, we had a blast playing in the fountains. The 5pm bands were always appropriate and had some fun dance alongs and sing songs. Read more
