Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator provides an in-depth review of the Royal Princess, the first Royal class ship launched by Princess Cruises. He evaluates the vessel's design, noting the elegant, traditional interiors and the large, central Piazza atrium. While praising the ship's aesthetic, he highlights several drawbacks, including the loss of the wraparound promenade deck and the lack of sufficient public space and seating when the ship is at capacity. The review covers the ship's amenities, such as the pool deck, the adults-only Retreat, and the Movies Under the Stars feature. He also discusses the Medallion technology, which he describes as a industry-leading tool for seamless onboard experiences. The creator examines the complex three-tier fare structure, suggesting that the Princess Plus tier offers the best value. Regarding dining, he notes a wide variety of included and specialty options but criticizes the confusing new casual dining tier. He concludes that while the ship is beautiful and supported by an excellent crew, the limited availability of public spaces is a significant consideration for future passengers.
