I have read a lot of reviews with people disappointed in the Royal Princess. Our experience was quite the opposite. I found it to be a beautiful ship. No stairs in the middle of the ship was something we didn't notice until it was pointed out by a passenger on the 2nd to last day.Never had a problem finding a chair on sea days and the comedian was great.

Yes, the balcony was a bit small but enough for 2 chairs and a table that we can relax and have a drink late at night.We were very comfortable in the deluxe balcony room. Service was outstanding. There was always someone in the Horizon Court asking of we needed anything and they were constantly cleaning.We have been on cruises where plates and glasses are sitting dirty for a while. Not on this ship.

Islands were beautiful,weather was warm and mostly sunny. Couldn't ask for a better winter break!
