Princess sails from a port close to home so we don’t have to fly, the price for the product seems fair, and crew members are not constantly trying to sell us stuff.

We just finished a Mexico cruise on the Royal with an aft facing cabin on the Dolphin Deck. There was very little overhang shade on the balcony. However the dividers between the balconies did provide some shade. The balcony was very large. There was instances of exhaust odor but not overpowering. We generally book aft facing cabins and will continue to do so however we will not sail on Royal class ships again for numerous reasons. Bigger is not necessarily better.
