Princess Cruise Line
Cruising with Princess Cruises means experiencing a world-class vacation with exceptional attention to dining, premium accommodations, immersive shows, versatile itineraries, welcoming service, and new innovations—plus pickleball on many ships.
Princess dining is consistently praised: the main dining rooms offer rotating menus of classic and contemporary cuisine, while the Horizon Court buffet and 24-hour International Café provide casual and flexible meal options. Specialty venues are a highlight—for instance, the 360° Dining Experience on some Royal-class ships delivers a multi-sensory seven‑course Mediterranean-themed dinner that merges flavors with immersive theatrical elements. Other standout options include Crown Grill steakhouse, Sabatini’s Italian Trattoria, Catch by Rudi, and artistry-inspired Love by Britto on Sun Princess. Reviews consistently highlight the quality, service, and presentation of the food, with many cruisers calling Princess service “incredible” and the crew attentive and welcoming.
Entertainment aboard Princess is relaxed yet engaging. Expect Broadway-style production shows, game and comedy nights, live music, and themed parties—cruises like Discovery Princess deliver consistently enjoyable entertainment across venues including Princess Arena and lounges. Service teams ensure transitions run smoothly and guests feel well cared for at every event.
Princess itineraries score big for variety and immersion, offering cruises to destinations like Alaska, the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Australia/New Zealand, and world cruises with educational talks, local cultural programming, and shore excursions curated for authenticity (e.g. wildlife, regional foods, conservation sites).
In terms of pickleball, Princess has embraced the sport fleet-wide. Guests on Discovery, Sky, Enchanted, and Sun Princess enjoy dedicated pickleball courts in the Deck 18 Center Court sports area, while other ships like Regal, Royal, Coral, and Emerald offer makeshift pickleball setups on their sports decks with provided equipment and scheduled open play sessions
Finally, Princess is leading with its Sphere‑class ships, beginning with Sun Princess, launched in February 2024, and followed by Star Princess, debuting in late 2025. These 4,300‑guest LNG‑powered ships feature dramatic architectural elements like a glass‑domed The Dome and central Sphere piazza, expanded dining venues, enhanced leisure spaces, and immersive entertainment under the geodesic dome and in their Princess Arena spaces.
