Has anyone been on the Royal Princess lately? <BR>I have read a few reports that said she was getting "tired". Would I be better off picking a newer ship? I am hoping to go on a Scandinavian cruise this June. <BR>Thanks, Judy

I will be going on this ship July 25. The entire ship was redone in late fall 1998

The ship was redone in late fall 1998. I will be going onit 7/99 to alaska

We were on the repositioning Buenos Aires-Barcelona in the spring and found the ship quite acceptable. We really enjoyed the whole experience. <BR> <BR>Last Aug. we sailed on Splendour of the Seas to the Baltic. It too was great. I really miss the self laundry on RCCI. I think the Princess itinerary goes to Latvia instead of Estonia. I'm sure you'll really like it. <BR>

We took the Royal from Dover to Scandanavia last July, had a wonderful time. Rooms seemed real nice to me, as did all the common areas. Cabins seemed roomy and had real bathtubs, allowing a hot bath, which I enjoy. We enjoyed this cruise and ship equally with others more grand (the Grand Princess in the Med the year prior). Do it!
