Royal Princess Review

Additional details
We lorikeet the Mexico 7 day cruise for the convenience and price. The weather is always perfect and this time the ocean was completely smooth for the entire trip. The ship is giant, the buffet is huge and the crew were all friendly. The new medallion system was interesting but not fully implemented for our cruise. I hope that the new screens and WiFi will help eliminate the excessive paper usage on the ship.
The spa was disappointing, it would be nice if you weren’t always pressured into buying expensive products. Also, there are only 3 small pools. One 3’ deep circular pool, a five foot deep rectangular pool just next to it and then another rectangular pool that was for adults only on the back of the ship. On one port day only the circular pool was open and it was extremely crowded. It would be nice if a ship this large had one more pool for everyone to enjoy.
The kid center was brand new with all of the updated activities. Our son (8-12 group) said some of the staff were impatient but it wasn’t enough of an issue to deter him from going.
Cabin Review
Deluxe Balcony
Very nice larger sized balcony cabin. It has a two seat sofa and a large flat screen tv across from the bed. The bathroom is small but fine, the shower was adequately sized. The balcony is not very deep, but none of them are unless you book the rooms on the back of the ship and those ones do not have much privacy. Balcony is covered. We were traveling with family in the next room so had the balcony divider open, it opens all the way without blocking the space so it was nice to have a much longer balcony to hang out on.
