Based on 394 online discussions

Enchanted Princess is one of Princess Cruises' newest and most polished ships, a Royal-class vessel that debuted in November 2021 as a sister to Discovery and Sky Princess. It carries roughly 3,660 guests and is built around the line's MedallionClass experience, where every passenger wears an OceanMedallion that unlocks their cabin, speeds up boarding and delivers food and drink anywhere onboard. The vibe is modern, energetic and tech-forward, with the glass SeaWalk cantilevered over the ocean serving as its signature showpiece. Its strong 4.4/5 U.S. News rating places it among the better-regarded ships in the fleet.

Dining spans a main dining room, multiple casual eateries and four specialty venues, with Crown Grill steakhouse and Sabatini's Italian Trattoria drawing the most praise (reviewers describe them as good to excellent). Cabins are contemporary and clean, topped by the fleet's largest Sky Suites with 270-degree views, though several guests flag uncomfortable beds and occasional lapses in deep cleaning. The adults-only Sanctuary stands out with eight private cabanas, double the count of other Royal-class ships, while pools, Movies Under the Stars and Princess Theater production shows handle the rest of the day. Service is generally good but can thin out at busy bars and venues.

Enchanted Princess suits travelers who want a current-generation big ship with modern technology, a wide spread of specialty dining and a genuinely unique top-deck feature in the SeaWalk. It sits in the mainstream-premium tier, priced above contemporary lines like Carnival and Royal Caribbean's value sailings but generally below luxury lines, and competes most directly with Celebrity and Holland America. Standout activities include strolling the SeaWalk, booking a Sanctuary cabana for a sea day, and the consistently well-reviewed evening shows. It's a strong pick for couples and multigenerational groups who don't mind a lively, well-populated ship.

What People Love

  • Strong overall guest rating (4.4/5 on U.S. News across 394 reviews), making it one of the higher-ranked ships in the Princess fleet
  • OceanMedallion technology earns consistent praise for keyless cabin entry, contactless boarding and food-and-drink delivery anywhere onboard
  • The signature SeaWalk glass walkway gives a genuinely unique top-deck thrill not found on Princess's older Grand-class ships
  • The Sanctuary adults-only retreat offers eight private cabanas, twice as many as sister Royal-class ships, so the quiet space is easier to book

Common Complaints

  • Multiple guests report uncomfortable beds and poor sleep quality
  • Some reviewers note inconsistent cleanliness and question the depth of cleaning between sailings
