I spent my Eastern Caribbean sailing on Enchanted Princess checking out what this 3,660-guest Royal-class ship has to offer, from the busy Piazza to the pizza at Gigi’s. In my daily trip reports, I share what I ate, what I did and how the ship felt once everyone was onboard. If you’re thinking about booking Enchanted Princess, come along and see what my days onboard were actually like.

Sky Princess was the fourth Royal-class ship and entered service in 2019. She carries 3,660 guests and introduced the two Sky Suites with the largest balconies at sea, along with the SeaWalk, The Sanctuary and the Piazza that define the class.

Majestic Princess entered service in 2017 as the third Royal-class ship. She was originally designed for the Chinese market, and now sails a broad mix of itineraries with 3,560 guests aboard.

I spent a week aboard Regal Princess sailing to Princess Cays, San Juan and St. Thomas, with a Mini-Suite to call home and plenty of eating to do. From Chef’s Table Lumière and the Caymus Winemaker Dinner to grabbing pizza at Prego, I found a lot to like, along with some service issues that left me scratching my head. My daily trip reports take you through the whole week, so if you’re considering Regal Princess, come see what I enjoyed and where things could have been better.

Royal Princess launched the Royal class in 2013 and introduced the SeaWalk, a glass-floored walkway that extends 28 feet beyond the side of the ship. She carries 3,560 guests and is the template for every Princess ship that followed until the Sphere class.

The third and final ship in the Voyager-class order.

The second Voyager-class ship, expected to be the largest class Princess has ever built.

The first of three Voyager-class ships, ordered from Fincantieri in April 2026. She's built on the Sphere-class platform and will run primarily on LNG.
