Royal Princess Cruise Review by roytan
Trip Details
- Sail Date: November 2017
- Destination: Caribbean
- Cabin Type: Balcony
Embarkation easy and quick as well as disembarkation. We had a balcony cabin and it was sufficient but the balcony was small. The people next to us hung a clothes line on the balcony and wash was constantly on display. Princess had never allowed this before and it was awful to see underwear flapping in the breeze. We had anytime dining and it worked well for us. We dislike formal nights and this will be the last time we take formal,wear. It takes up too much space in the luggage and we just want to relax on vacation.
St Thomas was heartbreaking as we have been there several times before and it was still not ready for cruise passengers. Shops smelled of mildew and we went to speak with the local,people. The locals we spoke with were glad to tell us their stories, like no,one has electricity yet other than the waterfront. The ship,should not have made it seem like things were back to normal, as,they were not by any means. Very disappointing that Princess choose to,go,there.
Grenada, Bonairemand Curaçao were delightful and we will go back.
Plenty of activities to do,on the ship and the entertainment was good. The theatre was small and seating was an issue. You need to be there 45 minutes before show if you want a seat.
Crown Grill is my favorite speciality restaurant and we go on every cruise. Food was always good and plentiful in any of the venues.
Looking forward to going again.

Nice cabin although balcony is small. We like being up high as a little rocking makes for great sleeping.
