Entertainment

The ship is beautiful the atrium and staircase is stunning. The food was plentiful fresh and always well presented in the the horizon buffet. The main dining room service was excellent and vast range of dishes for all every night. With Princess favourite available as standard 3 starters and mains. The ship was very clean and staff always greeted us with a smile. I have been on 15 cruises ( 5 different lines) and the Royal Princess ship is one of my favourites.

Positive points: Plus package is excellent and gives you the option to pay the difference for a premium drink. Menus are very clear as to what is or isn’t included. Excursions were expensive but very well organised. Overall entertainment was OK with the house band Dynamix the pick of the options. Friendly crew. Negative points; we cruised on Royal Princess in 2018 and at that time she was our favourite ship. 8 years on we felt that a referees was required. The sofa in our cabin was worn out and uncomfortable, there are no USB points in the cabin and there is a shower curtain rather than a glass door. None of these are terrible but many of the newer ships make Royal Princess seem a bit tired. We thought the medallion was just a gimmick. Yes it opens your door and I guess it helps the staff at the restaurant identify who is waiting in line. However, if you order a drink you still have to give your room number and the service is definitely slowed by the medallion. We waited for 25 minutes for a drinks order at Crooners, we waited an hour on another occasion for a drink at the Horizon bar and nothing turned up at all. We had instances where the app said our drinks had been delivered when they clearly had not. Trying to get a drink at the bar was very difficult. Staff didn’t know who was next in line and took ages to get served. Food was ok but not very imaginative! We prefer NCL, Celebrity and Princess in that order. Food choices on NCL are far more varied and they have far more speciality restaurants. On Riyal Princess Sabatini’s always had spaces so didn’t appear to be that popular. Ocean Terrace was virtually empty for the whole cruise. Finally, the descriptions for the excursions could be more helpful. One of the excursions we went on claimed that there was a transfer by ferry. The ferry turned out to be a small motor boat which took 10 people. You had to walk in to the sea and climb on board. This was ok for us but others could have struggled.
