East Caribbean on the Royal Princess – December 15-22, 2013
This cruise was number three of a back to back to back adventure that began November 26, 2013 on the Coral Princess, then moved to the Crown Princess on December 7, 2013. After an overnight hotel stay in Fort Lauderdale, we embarked the Royal Princess on December 15, 2013. We stayed at the Hyatt Place hotel on 10th street (a mile or less from the pier) the night of December 14th. The hotel was nice and included a nice breakfast. The staff was very helpful. We booked under the “no cancellation” rate and got a GREAT deal.
Following a short taxi ride from hotel to ship, we moved along quickly through the preferred check-in to the elite lounge. We were able to board the ship around 11:40 am, went to our stateroom to drop off carry-ons, and then on the Alfredo's Pizzeria for lunch.
Cabin Review
The cabins on Royal Princess are nice. They appear a little larger because of some subtle changes in the floor plan and decor. The bathroom is actually a little smaller :( BUT the shower is larger :) It's actually big enough to shower in!!! This room was conveniently located near the forward elevator deck. It worked well with things at the front and middle of the ship but it was a LONG WAY to the other end of the ship.
