Sail Date: Apr 2013
Cabin: Balcony

We always fly to the city where the cruise embarks at least a day early, we don't need the hastle or stress that the airlines can't get you to the cruise when you are scheduled. We spend the night at the LAX Hilton, nice hotel, we had to give the taxi driver the next morning directions of how to get to the San Pedro pier.

We have been on the Sapphire Princess before, fine ship that is well maintained. The service was excellent, from the cabin steward to the dining staff. We have never found service on Princess to be anything short of great.

Dining: We seldom use the Horizon Court Buffet, although the few times I went there for a cup of coffee it was very busy, therefore I don't really have an opinion on it. We ate breakfast in the dining room, the meal was always first class, good food and service. The first morning I asked for a bowl of Granola and mixed berries, the cereal they brought me appeared to be Muslix. I questioned the waiter who sent the head waiter to us. He listened to my comments and said that is what they have as Granola in the dining room. HE offered to go to the buffet and see if they had anything else as Granola to offer, he returned with a single serving box of Granola and it was just what I wanted. I would say he went out of his way to see that I received what I wanted.

Cabin Review

Balcony

We almost always take a balcony cabin, a few times we have taken various suites, but I don't think they offer you that much more for additional cost. A balcony is nice to have, we seem to use it more than others who have balcony cabins near us. There have been times when others on baconies near by were so loud that they kind of spoiled the cruising atmosphere, but not on this cruise. Now that Princess doesn't allow smoking on the balcony, I enjoy the balcony much more than before.
