What Travelers Say About Royal Princess
Reviews of the ship itself — the same for every Royal Princess sailing. Based on 1,300 discussions.
Royal Princess is the 2013 lead ship of Princess's Royal class, the vessel that introduced the now-signature SeaWalk glass-bottom walkway cantilevered 28 feet over the ocean and the line's largest three-deck Piazza atrium. It carries about 3,560 guests in a refined, classic-cruising style aimed at travelers who love sea days, live music and a social atmosphere that stops short of being a floating waterpark. Compared with its near-identical 2014 sister Regal Princess, Royal is the original and slightly older of the pair, so it can feel a touch more worn even after refurbishments, but the core layout and amenities are essentially the same.
What People Love
- The signature SeaWalk glass-floored walkway juts 28 feet over the side, a unique photo-op
- Movies Under the Stars comes with blankets, popcorn and warm cookies for a free evening tradition
- The Sanctuary is about 20% larger than on older Princess ships, with cabanas and attentive service
Common Complaints
- As the 2013 lead ship it's the oldest Royal-class vessel and shows more wear
- The all-glass three-deck Piazza echoes, carrying evening noise throughout
- The main pool deck is dominated by the loud movie/sports screen
