We chose the Royal Princess because it was a newer ship and we wanted to experience the Princess Cruise Line! The Royal Princess is a beautiful ship and the food and service were excellent! We took this cruise as a dance group and we were hoping to dance every night and we did in the beautiful Piazza! Mark, our cabin attendant, took great care of our cabin, and Alfredo and Mike provided us with outstanding service during dinner! The entertainment in the Piazza and the theatre was excellent! Wish every cruise ship had a dance floor similar to the dance floor on the Queen Mary 2 cruise ship! It was nice to have a cabin above the Atrium; however, the stairway near the elevators was not accessible! We like taking the stairs instead of waiting for the elevators! We were very pleased with this cruise and are looking forward to cruising with Princess again!
