Princess Cruises: Royal Princess

Review covers: Pacific Princess, Royal Princess, Ocean Princess

Accommodations

Layout: Designed for longer cruises, all staterooms have ample closet and storage space, although bathrooms in lower-priced categories are somewhat tight. Dark-wood cabinetry adds warmth to the pastel decor. In keeping with the rest of the fleet, 73% of all outside cabins and suites have a balcony, and interiors are similar in size to those you'll find on other Princess ships.

Amenities: Amenities in standard cabins are a bit spartan compared to other Princess ships, yet all have at least a small sitting area. Bath toiletries, a hair dryer, personal safe, and robes for use during the cruise are all included, but you must move up to a minisuite or suite to have a real bathtub.

Suites: Full suites are particularly nice, with living/dining rooms, entertainment centers, separate bedrooms, whirlpool bathtubs, a guest powder room, and large balconies overlooking the bow or stern.

Good to Know: Five staterooms are wheelchair accessible on Pacific Princess, while there are four on Ocean and Royal Princess.
