We're old hands at cruising...this was our 27th just on Princess. Overall, a great cruise. The Royal Princess is beautiful and well maintained. The service was outstanding, the crew always smiling and friendly.
There were a few "bumps" over the 20 days, but when travelling, you expect some.
The cons. Embarkation left much to be desired. As a preferred guest, we usually go to the head of the line going into security. This time, the employees told us to get to the rear of the line, even after we showed them our boarding pass. After shuffling in line for 15 minutes, we approached a different employee and were immediately taken to the front of the line.
