Dining

From breakfast coffees to proper sit-down dinners, Royal Princess keeps dining easy, varied and genuinely delicious. For your included evening dining, you’ll typically rotate between the ship’s trio of main dining rooms: Allegro, Concerto and Symphony – ideal for a classic starter–main–pudding night (and yes, the service is the kind that remembers how you take your tea).

For relaxed meals, Horizon Court is the go-to buffet, while the International Café is brilliant for pastries, sandwiches and a quick bite when you’re dashing between activities. If you fancy something casual and hot from the oven, Alfredo’s Pizzeria serves hand-tossed favourites in a sit-down setting, and Trident Grill covers the poolside classics.

Looking to make it a “this is the holiday” kind of evening? Book a table at the ship’s standout specialty venues: Crown Grill for steak and seafood, Sabatini’s Italian Trattoria for a long, leisurely Italian meal, and Ocean Terrace when sushi is calling. To finish, pop into Gelato for a scoop (or two), or settle into Vines Wine Bar for a relaxed glass before the show.

Entertainment & Things to Do

Days at sea on Royal Princess are anything but “pass the time”. For headline evening entertainment, the Princess Theater hosts big production shows and guest performers, while Princess Live! brings a more intimate, studio-style vibe with live programmes, games and hosted entertainment. The Piazza is the ship’s social heartbeat, where you’ll often find pop-up music, dancing and that lovely “wander through and see what’s happening” atmosphere.

When the sun goes down, don’t miss Movies Under the Stars up on deck – it’s a proper Princess signature, with blockbuster films on the giant screen (yes, it’s as good as it sounds with a blanket and a drink). Fancy a classic cocktail-and-music night? Crooners is the place for piano and martinis, while Vista Lounge is a great all-rounder for live acts and comedy. If you’re still going after that, Club 6 keeps the party going later on.

In between, there’s plenty to tick off your “I want to do that once” list: the glass-floored SeaWalk, the fountain-and-music spectacle of WaterColor Fantasy, and the award-winning Shops of Princess for duty-free browsing and a little holiday treat.

Family

Royal Princess is a strong choice for families who like a balance of together-time and grown-up space. Kids and teens are well looked after in Camp Discovery, with age-specific clubs that keep things fun and structured: The Treehouse (3–7), The Lodge (8–12) and The Beach House (13–17). Expect crafts, games, themed activities and the sort of sessions that make it easy for parents to enjoy dinner in peace.

For family downtime, the pools and deck areas are naturally popular, and evenings can be as simple (and as memorable) as grabbing snacks from the International Café and heading up for Movies Under the Stars together.

Cabin Types

Choosing your room on Royal Princess is mostly about how you like to cruise: “out all day” or “balcony breakfasts and quiet afternoons”. The range typically includes Inside Staterooms (smart value and surprisingly cosy), Oceanview Staterooms with a window for daylight, and Balcony Staterooms for that private sea-breeze moment whenever you fancy it.

If you want extra space without going full suite, a Mini-Suite with Balcony is a popular step-up, often giving you a larger seating area that’s genuinely useful on sea days. At the top end, Suites add the kind of holiday upgrades you feel immediately: more room to spread out, enhanced services and a lovely “this is special” atmosphere from day one. You’ll also find accessible stateroom options available for guests who need them.

Ideal For

Royal Princess suits UK cruisers who want “classic cruise” with plenty of modern comfort. It’s a great fit for couples who enjoy evenings with live music at Crooners, pre-dinner strolls around the Piazza and a show in the Princess Theater. It also works brilliantly for multi-gen trips: grandparents can disappear to The Sanctuary for peace and quiet, while kids head to Camp Discovery and teens claim The Beach House as their own space.

Destinations

Royal Princess sails a wonderfully broad mix of routes, which is why she stays on the radar for so many repeat cruisers. Depending on the season, you’ll see itineraries that lean into scenery (think Alaska-style glacier views), sunshine-focused breaks (Caribbean favourites), or culture-rich European routes where your sea days feel like a welcome pause between ports.

Because sailings vary, treat your Princess Cruises Royal Princess Itinerary as your starting point: once you’ve chosen the region, you can plan the “ship days” around what you enjoy most – a relaxed morning at Horizon Court, an afternoon in the spa, and Movies Under the Stars as your easy, feel-good finale.

Special Royal Princess Offerings

Royal Princess is designed around those little extras that make the ship feel like a floating resort rather than just transport between ports. For wellness lovers, the Lotus Spa is the main hub, with the thermal-suite-style experience in The Enclave offering a properly restorative escape when you want to switch off. If “quiet and premium” is your vibe, The Sanctuary is the adults-only retreat where you can read, nap, sip something cold and forget the time.

For on-deck wow-factor, SeaWalk and WaterColor Fantasy are the two signature moments people still talk about after they’ve unpacked at home. If you’re the type who loves an evening routine, a good plan is: pre-dinner cocktail at Crooners, dinner in Allegro/Concerto/Symphony, then Princess Theater or Princess Live! depending on your mood.

Frequently Asked Questions about Royal Princess

Expert thoughts about Royal Princess

On Royal Princess, I always recommend mid-ship balcony cabins on Deck 11, which balance stability with easy access to dining and entertainment. I also suggest reserving speciality dining on sea days, when menus feel more expansive and service is less rushed.

The floor in the piazza has become uneven, it is now a trip/falls hazard to those dancing on it. My travel group and I love dancing in the piazza. Could the flooring be re-leveled please?
