Let me start by saying that we had a fabulous time! My husband age (51) and me (49) have sailed 2 times on Carnival and 1 time on NCL but this was our first cruise on Princess. There was so much to do on this ship that you could never be bored. While there were good things and not so good things we made the best of all situations and met many wonderful people while on board.

Ship - Very clean. the temperature on the ship seemed to be perfect for us all the time, I never needed a sweater. The ship was easy to navigate and never seemed crowded even though it was a smaller ship.

Balcony - I have read many negative things about the bump out balconies but we had decided to book one anyway. We had the last bump out balcony room on the forward/starboard side of the ship right before the other balconies that were set in a bit. We thought maybe we would lose privacy because you had the balcony beside you set back and the balcony below you was not covered so you could see both but it didn't seem to be an issue for us. While I thought the balcony was a bit smaller than other cruise lines it was adequate and we also went with our friends so we had the stewardess open the door between our rooms which made it much better.

Cabin Review

Cabin - the cabin was clean and fresh. It had a flat screen TV and a desk area, plenty of storage and good lighting. No complaints and yes the shower is small but adequate.
