I was drawn to the drop and go rate. I was an very good deal. I also let the cruiseline choose my stateroom. I asked for a non obstructed balcony room. We got a handicapped accesible room which was much larger than most. We know this may never happen again but it was a nice large room.
I did enjoy the fact that this cruise was mostly adults. There were very few children under the age of 10 on this ship. I dont think kids would enjoy this itinerary. I am debating taking my 18 and 23 year old even on this in the future. I think other ships and itineraries are more suitable for children especially. This is a very laid back cruise. I liked that.
I was expected Princess to be an elite class above the other two lines I have cruised. I felt the ship itself was up to par and equal however, nothing here stood above the rest except price. The shows were only singing and comedy shows. I am used to seeing Theatrical productions. The last show I saw on Royal Allure (Mama Mia) really raised the bar for others. I also found myself bored some nights. The comedy show was full both nights. We never got in.
