Boarding was fairly smooth, and overall, we had a pleasant cruise experience on the Royal Princess. The ship offered a variety of fun activities, and the quality and selection of food exceeded our expectations. The buffet staff were attentive, and the dining room service was excellent. The crew always seemed genuine and helpful. Although the ship shows signs of age, it was kept impeccably clean, with staff regularly cleaning tables, chairs, and walls. Our cabin was adequate, though it still had a shower curtain instead of doors. The entertainment was enjoyable—we particularly liked the comedy shows. We also had a great experience with an excursion in Mazatlán, which turned out to be very nice. Overall, the Royal Princess provides a solid cruise experience, with excellent food and attentive staff.
