Couple 08 Nov 2023

Royal princess is a very good ship, staff were lovely nothing too much trouble. Brilliant itinerary.

Couple 30 Mar 2023

We enjoyed the cruise and loved the fact we had a balcony. We do feel there were a few days too many at sea, but others enjoyed them. The activities were on the whole very good but some were a bit repetitive. The excursions were very expensive and some didn't offer value for money with the result that we only did one, which turned out to be a very good excursion to Pearl Harbour. All in all a very good holiday from yourselves with the added bonus of staying in 2 of USAs iconic (if very expensive) cities.

Couple 01 Jan 2007

Princess ships are really good the dining is great &really great entertainment

Couple 01 Jan 2007
