Sail Date: Apr 2013

This was our first cruise but had been many years in the planning as a special trip to celebrate our forthcoming Silver wedding.

We had a 3 night pre cruise stay at the Shangri La hotel on the river side which was beautiful and spent 3 days exploring Bangkok and the surrounding areas doing trips independently booked through Viator.

Our embarkation in Bangkok was faultless as Princess had organised pre booking the evening before at the hotel and all our luggage was picked up from outside our hotel room and taken direct to the ship. This meant that although our assigned time was to be 3pm we left the hotel just after 11.30am on the Princess transfer and were at the ship and on board by about 1.30pm with no queuing up required.

Cabin Review

Cabin AD

Mini Suite D618 Port side on Deck 9. Spacious cabin with large balcony which is overlooked from above but this was never a problem to us as it was compensated by the extra space. Also as it is an open balcony no problems with overcast spots so could take full advantage of the sun when it was on port side.

Plenty of cupboard and wardrobe space and large suitcases can be stored easily under the bed. Very quiet corridor and position of cabin is good for the motion side as very little movement except for a slight vibration which you soon don't notice.
