We booked our 2nd cruise ever (1st. cruise -Sept. 2012 - Carnival Triumph) on the Golden Princess in April. After a good experience with Carnival, we wanted to see what another cruise line, i.e. Princess, offered for our Alaska trip. Even though we had a Balcony room on the Golden Princess, it was still smaller than our ocean view room on Carnival. The bathroom was smaller, the shower was a lot smaller and the room only had a bed and desk....no sofa or couch. Our cabin steward Joseph was very nice and helpful.
Here's my ratings:
Cabin.................not as nice or large as Carnival
Not as large as it appeared in the Princess information.Bathrooms are too small.Showers are way too small.TV remote was quirky.Not many channels to chose from.Limited AC & heat settings.Bathroom needed an exhaust fan.bathrooms
