I spent months reading reviews of the Royal Princess before our sailing and was quite concerned with the negative reports on this new ship. This was our 25th cruise, our 10th on Princess, and we had not encountered a problem cruise in the past. We were very relieved to find a lovely ship, very good service and some of our favorite Princess features still intact.
We spent three days in Fort ...
Last week we came from back to back cruises on the Allure of the Seas and the Regal Princess. I think it will be interesting to compare our impressions according to our taste. The boarding process was flawless in both cases, and in both cases you need to wait aboard the ship until about 1 pm when rooms become available. We had The Central Park balcony on Allure, and outside balcony on the Regal. ...
We thought we were experienced cruisers until we took a voyage on Princess. Wow what a difference. Having experienced Disney, Carnival and Royal Caribbean where we are Platinum status, our expectations were set at about par with Royal Caribbean. Not the case. We found Princess to be head and shoulders above anything we have tried to date.
To begin with the entire process of booking the cruise was ...

Embarkation: Arrived at the port about 12:30pm. We are Platinum and found the line moved pretty quickly.
Cabin: We had a mini suite near the front of the ship. These now have a dividing curtain between the bedroom and sitting area which we liked. The balcony is small but we found it fine for the two of us. Our stateroom attendant, Jay, did a very good job and the cabin was always ...
I preface this review with the fact that I cruise exclusively on Princess.
I embark on my 10th cruise in September and have three more booked in the coming year on various ships.
I have sailed on every class of ship in the Princess fleet. All have different advantages and comforts. Everything that has worked so well on other ships has been rolled into the Regal Princess. I'm a ship person ...

This was only our 2nd cruise, our first being on the Celebrity Constellation exactly a year ago. A Celebrity vs Princess thread will follow later.
Overall, we really enjoyed this cruise, although it wasn't as dead-on perfect as our first cruise, but enjoyable none the less.
The weather was a little cool for me, and our first day was very windy, so much so that you could have almost surfed on the ...
We've taken fourteen cruises and this was our fifth on Princess, and after a week on the Regal Princess we're done with the other lines. A beautiful ship that didn't feel crowded despite having around four thousand passengers. It reminded me of the first cruise I took in the eighties, without unruly children running wild all over the ship and everything catered to adults. (If you're a parent who ...
A group of 12 sailed on the Coral Princess for a Panama Canal Partial Transit Cruise. This was our 8/9th Princess Cruise and first time on the Coral Princess. The ship is a beautiful vessel, just the right size, and we really liked the layout, although there would be a couple of design changes I would make if in charge. Overall the cruise was great; we tend to stay with Princess for we like the ...
