My son and I went on the Royal Princess last Dec for 20 nights. Some people we liked a lot, some people we didn't. Some people didn't like us. The rest were two faced. I was very disappointed with the food. The breakfasts in Horizon court was the best meal of the day. The other meals in there were very repetitive. I understand for 20 days they can't always have different things each meal, but to have the same things 3/4 days on the run is a bit much.
I'm a smoker so most of the time I spent on Deck 17 when I was on the ship. Most days there was always someone moaning about us smoking. One day I took an ashtray to sunbeds and put it on the table, and then the waiter came and told me that I couldn't smoke there. I asked why?? they said they don't make the rules. Later a manager came up and I asked why we could smoke sat on a chair at the table, but not on a sunbed. He said its just in case we fall asleep with the cig in our hand. I told him if he knew the price of cigs, no-one would fall asleep smoking.
We had a problem with one of the waiters, so my son and I went to the reception to make a complaint. They said they would deal with it. To cut a long story short, they didn't do anything about it. So I went back down the next day and the first guy had not even written it down. So I went through it all again. Finally they did something about it. I spoke to other people on other cruise ships when we were in port, they all said there was a smoking section around the pool area. Princess should do something for the smokers that r left in the world.
The cabin was fine.
We waited to board the ship!
We went to coconut beach and spent the day by the ocean and sunbathed
We spent the day at The Boatyard it was fantastic, all for $15 dollars per person, you got a deckchair, a free drink and taxi back to the ship.
We went Jo Anns and spent quite a lot of money and had a lot of fun
