There are many reviews of Princess's newest ship, Royal, so I will only give a few highlights (and low lights) Favorite - the Enclave by far! The purpose of the Enclave is to get away from the activity of the ship and relax in a peaceful, serene setting. The whirlpool is a mini pool - large enough so that many people could use it at the same time and not be in each others space. It has 2 spray fountains, a center rain shower that you stand under, 2 side areas with personal jets and a unique seating area along the back wall to enjoy the jets and warmth. The Enclave also has 8 heated tile beds and 2 water beds, 2 large steam rooms and 1 sauna. Oh and also the 4 different showers with varying water sprays and scents. My husband and I used the Enclave every day - it was pure joy and definitely the best part of the ship.

The Piazza is stunning and there are many places to enjoy a cocktail and watch the many activities that are occurring throughout the day. The Wheelhouse Lounge was a favorite late night hang out for Yellow Bird cocktails or a glass of wine while relaxing on the sofa listening to music.

We have already been to the ports on this Eastern Caribbean cruise, so we stayed aboard had 5 sea days to relax at the pool, go to the art auctions, the Spa, and the Enclave. The adult pool was also a highlight for us with plenty of seating and shaded areas for my husband who prefers to stay out of the sun. Read more
