The New Royal Princess lives up to its name
Princess Cruise Lines has introduced a brand new ship–the Royal Princess. The first ship in the new Royal Class, it is beautifully designed, and thoughtfully created to give vacationers a sense of privacy even while on a huge, floating resort. On this new ship, Princess has doubled the size of the atrium, added new places to eat, installed a water and light show in the center island by the pool, and updated the rooms with contemporary decor, 37″ flat screen TVs, and put in adjustable shower heads. Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge (Princess Kate) is the official godmother to Royal Princess and performed the christening honors during its naming ceremony in Southampton, England, on June 13, 2013.
There are TEN impressive features on the Royal Princess.
