Star Princess Review

Additional details
A great cruise comes down to a few things: quality of the ship/staff, weather, what you do to fill your free time, ports and excursions, and of course, food. On all accounts, I'd give the Star Princess a thumbs up. Here's a little more insight.
We left Seattle at about 4:00 p.m. on Sunday. The process to get on the ship lasted about 90 minutes. Plan on standing in line for quite awhile, but no complaints here.
Our room was E618, which means we supposedly had an obstructed view room on Deck 8. The actual view wasn't that obstructed, and if you look carefully on their deck map, you can tell which rooms on that deck are blocked by a life boat and which ones have a clear view. It's not a balcony, but if you pick carefully, you'll be able to at least have a fairly clear view through a always-closed window, while paying the obstructed view price. It does bring in natural light during the day which is nice and it allows you to check on the weather or port without leaving your room.

Plenty of storage, small bathroom, very clean.
