Royal Princess Review
Rating by category
Additional details
Our annual Christmas "escape" aboard Princess was a repeat cruise from 2014 on the (still) beautiful, if not flawed, Royal.
The ship was in fine form with the usual elegant and understated Holiday decorations. The village carolers in Dickensian attire greeted us, a foreshadowing of the excellent musical talent aboard this cruise.
Embarkation was fine - a bit chaotic in the cavernous reception area but preferred check-in softened any stress from the load-in. As always, the attendants were courteous and efficient.
Cabin Review
Mini-Suite with Balcony
Fine - usual mini for us as we prefer this accommodation on the Caribbean's. Rico, our Steward provided a comfortable and clean environment. Room was mid-ship, and yes the balcony is small, but adequate.
Port Reviews
Grenada
Love Grenada, but the 7am-2pm port call left little time so we stayed onboard mostly, venturing out only for spices.
Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
Long-term parking at Park & Go - excellent service.
