T e Atrium Glamorous and swathed in marble,
this three-deck social hub of the ship off ers snacks and meals, entertainment, shopping and guest services. Venues include a gelateria serving sundaes, smoothies and Italian crepes (extra charge), an ocean terrace seafood bar where guests can tuck into sashimi, sushi, ceviche and caviar (extra charge) and Bellini’s cocktail bar, an ideal venue for watching performers in the piazza. T e International Cafe serves pastries, paninis and salads, (included in fare) while in Vines wine bar passengers have a choice of 30 diff erent wines and free tapas to accompany them. And talking of marble, the ship carries 20 tonnes of the stuff , which is apparently more than 30 times the amount used by Michelangelo to construct David.

Relaxing Staterooms Updated features in Royal Princess’

Largest Outdoor Movie Screen at Sea ‘Movies Under the Stars’ is a great idea
where passengers on loungers can watch fi lms while munching on complimentary pizza or popcorn. What’s more, the experience is not just limited to warm weather, as cosy fl eece blankets are provided to keep you snug should the temperature drop. T e giant screen sits high above Fountains Pool tropical island which cleverly transforms into a dance club at night, complete with a sound and light show where 85 water jets shoot streams of water 33 feet into the sky.

T e SeaWalk T e most exciting design element
on board is an over-water SeaWalk, a cantilevered, glass-enclosed walkway on the top deck, 128 feet above the waves, extending over 28 feet beyond the edge of the vessel. Perhaps best enjoyed by those with a head for heights. As you may imagine, the views from here are dramatic.
Chef ’s Table Lumiere T is is a new approach to Princess’
pioneering ‘Chef ’s Table’ concept, when an executive chef cooks dinner while explaining the technique to a group of passengers.
