Creator's Key Takeaways

We were on the Royal Princess for a 14-day cruise from Los Angeles to Mexico and back to LA.

It is an older ship, so with that comes some kind of plus and minuses, but it's all to make sure that you have a great experience when you are the Royal Princess.

The staff was very friendly. The port days were easy because of the size.

Kudos to Princess for the variety of food options. There was even a sign that the Royal ship had was uh awarded the culinary ship of the year last year and we would believe it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring magnets to organize your cabin space.
Use the laundry service on board; it's convenient and affordable.
Monitor your room folio for charges if you're not on a drink package.
Check the deck plan to see where your cabin is located.
Look for the 'Mille Feuille' dessert at the International Cafe.
