We have cruised several times all with RC, except for 1 on Carnival(never again) I just read a review from someone who also traveled the same dates as we did and gave the cruise a bad review, we had the opposite experience, to each his own.
This was our 1st time on Princess and we booked another while on board and they gave us a $200 on board credit. We love RC, but their ships have gotten too big. Embarkation went very fast, we had traditional dinning and our waiter was excellent. We ate one night at the Crown Grill and i recommend this dinning room to everyone, the $25 cover charge was well worth it.
We had a balcony room on the Aloha deck, the bed was very comfortable. Our room steward was also very good. All the staff we came in contact was very helpful and friendly.
