The Prodigy Verdict
The Sweet Spot.
Enchanted Princess sits in the "sweet spot" of the fleet. It is newer and more polished than the original Royal/Regal Princess, but more intimate than the massive new Sphere Class. It corrects early design flaws by expanding the central Piazza and adding "Take Five," a dedicated jazz lounge that gives the ship a sophisticated nightlife energy. Notably, this ship replaced the French bistro with "The Catch by Rudi," finally giving the line a premier seafood venue. It feels less crowded than its peers, largely due to excellent flow around the pool deck.
- Couples looking for a romantic, quieter "Love Boat" vibe.
- Jazz enthusiasts (Take Five is a standout venue).
- Balcony lovers; the Sky Suites have the largest continuous balconies at sea.
- No Covered Pool: Unlike some competitors, the main pools are open-air (issue in bad weather).
- Elevators: The midship elevator bank can be slow during dinner rush.
- The App: OceanMedallion is mandatory for unlocking doors and ordering drinks; bring a portable charger.
The Experience
The ship flows outward from the Piazza. The design is traditional but polished, featuring gold accents, marble, and glass.
The Piazza
The three-story gold and marble atrium. It is the social heartbeat of the ship, hosting string quartets, acrobats, and the famous champagne waterfall.
Take Five
A dedicated jazz lounge distinct to this subclass. Features live trios, vintage decor, and speakeasy-style cocktails.
The Sanctuary
The adults-only retreat on the top deck. It costs extra (half/full day passes), but offers stewarded service, plush loungers, and afternoon tea.
Movies Under Stars
A Princess signature. The massive poolside LED screen plays concerts by day and first-run movies by night, complete with popcorn and blankets.
SeaWalk
A glass-bottomed walkway extending 28 feet over the edge of the ship on Deck 16. A thrilling photo op looking 128 feet down to the ocean.
Wake View Bar
Located aft on Deck 16. It offers an infinity-style pool and unobstructed views of the ship's wake. Usually quieter than the main pool.
Dining & Provisions
The big news is the arrival of "The Catch by Rudi," replacing the former French bistro. It is the best seafood on board.
Main Dining
3 Venues
Three MDRs (Santorini, Capri, Amalfi) serve the same rotating menu. The Reserve Collection (formerly Club Class) gets a dedicated section with no wait.
International Café
24-Hour Bistro
Located in the Piazza. Famous for its chicken salad, shrimp salad, and late-night cookies. The coffee costs extra (or is included in packages).
Salty Dog Grill
Poolside
Complimentary burgers, hot dogs, and street tacos by the pool. Do not confuse this with the "Gastropub" (which costs extra).
Gigi's Pizzeria
Sit-Down
A sit-down venue in the Piazza serving thin-crust pizzas. *Now carries a cover charge/casual dining credit unless on Premier/Plus.
The Catch by Rudi
Seafood
The newest specialty venue. Created by Chef Rudi Sodamin. Features whimsical seafood presentations ("Food Faces") and excellent lobster.
Crown Grill
Steakhouse
Consistently rated one of the best steakhouses at sea. Dark wood, theater-style kitchen, and premium beef chops.
Sabatini's
Italian Trattoria
Handmade pastas and Italian courses. The Burrata is a standout starter. A lighter, more modern decor than older ships.
Salty Dog Gastropub
Pub Food
Offers the "Ernesto" burger (rated best at sea). Features live music and whiskey flights. *Cover charge applies.
Where It Sails
Enchanted Princess is a globetrotter, often spending winters in the Caribbean and summers in the Mediterranean.
- 10-Day Southern Caribbean
- 7 to 14-Day Mediterranean
- Canada & New England (Seasonal)
Princess excels at "MedallionClass" convenience on these longer routes. The 10-day Caribbean itineraries attract a more relaxed crowd than 7-day runs.

The Vibe Check
Is this ship for you? It is refined, quiet, and traditional.
Calm and polished. You won't find water slides or bumper cars here. The focus is on food, wine, and music (Jazz, classical, production shows).
Slightly older demographic (50+), though multi-generational families are common during holidays. Very popular with experienced cruisers.

Cabin Recon
Enchanted Princess features the famous "Sky Suites" at the very top, but even standard cabins are comfortable with the "Princess Luxury Bed."
Sky Suite
The crown jewel. Two bedrooms, two baths, and a massive 1,000 sq. ft. continuous balcony that offers 270-degree views. Hosting a private party here is the ultimate flex.
Mini-Suite (Reserve)
Formerly "Club Class." Includes a separate sitting area, a tub in the bathroom, and the biggest perk: Reserve Dining (no wait, better menu) every night.
Deluxe Balcony
A slight upgrade over the standard balcony, offering a small sofa instead of just a chair. Worth the small upcharge for the extra sitting space.
