This was our 6th Princess cruise, and 3rd time on the Eastern itinerary. We had two cabins, a balcony for ourselves, and our two teens an inside across the hall. (that works well, by the way!)

Of course, she is the biggest ship in all the ports, and the most beautiful as well. But alas- we think sometimes bigger is not always better. The extra passenger deck adds quite the number of people. The common areas are the same as the other Grand class ships. So therefore, you do the math. If you are going to a highly anticipated show.......get there early. A half hour early. All the old people will save rows of seats for their friends! Actually we don't have a problem with elderly people in general, but there sure were a lot on this trip. Wheelchairs, scooters, walkers....looked like an ad for Geritol!

The ship was gorgeous in her Christmas decor, clean, and all staff were wonderful. Our steward was truly the best we have ever had. Wish I could have brought him home with me. Read more
