Smoke on the Water

This was our second Princess cruise, after the Ruby 2 years ago. I am 44 my honey 42. We arrived a day earlier and stayed at the Marriott North Hotel. Great hotel despite the fact they were understaffed. I decided to book a Shuttle to the port using shuttles 2U. Nice having a van all to ourselves, and Christopher the driver made a stop for me. Getting on the Boat was easy, and our room R414 was cozy. The Elevator situation is the biggest problem on Royal. Furthermore, proper elevator etiquette should be listed somewhere. We got the Adults only cabana on Princess Cays, and glad we booked it. I recommend the private lunch with it as well. We enjoyed soup, a seafood platter, jerk chicken and ribs, and fruit. Its a lot of food for 2 people. In St Thomas we took the trip over to Trunk Bay in ST John. The beach and water were perfect. St Maarten was just ok, as we took the lagoon cruise over to the French side. Great Cigar Place right off the dock and carry Authentic Cuban Cigars. Food on the ship was Great, including CG and Sab's. the only thing that pissed me off was the Lotus Spa staff. We booked some treatments that were to happen on 2 different days. When we arrived, they were all in one day. Sorry but we cancelled the couples massage due to this. They were really pushing stuff, and I got the feeling the spa wasn't rocking. The higher prices are a drawback, and my Royal Shave was just OK. Otherwise, We really enjoyed Royal and would do it again.

My Brother and SIS in Law are on Royal too. We are going next Sunday. Enjoy and be Safe

My wife and I have one booked for our upcoming cruise. We like to be in an Adults only environment. I hope its worth the money, But who cares I'm ON VACATION!
