My husband and I went on the Grand Princess from 04/04/04-04/11/04, Western Caribbean. This was our first cruise and one of the most exciting vacations we have ever had!!! We are already planning our second cruise and really can not wait.

Everything was clean and fresh, our cabin was roomy and always had fresh fruit and linens. I loved having a balcony and would never cruise without a balcony cabin,, I highly recommend it.. well worth the extra cost. I was also so impressed with the Food on Princess. The Horizon court had the most spectacular views and the food was always yummy. You will never be hungry on this cruise because the Buffet changes daily with snack foods after 3:30 and an Ice Cream Bar!!! I was also very impressed with their afternoon tea. It was quite traditional and the scones were to die for with the sweet creamed butter!! I usually go to tea in NYC with my girlfriends and this tea was actually better.

I also enjoyed the casino and all the vegas style shows, they were terrific. The personal choice dining is the way to go if you don't want to be married to a certain time or scheduled. We never had to wait and both dining rooms were beautiful and romantic. We had a table for two every night. The ports of call were very interesting except... for the Cayman Islands,, there were 7 ships docked with us and it was just too many people. I loved Princess Cays , Costa Maya and Cozumel. Try paradise beach while in Cozumel, it's a very clean and comfortable beach. GOOD FOOD and Sol beer!!! My only complaint, if I was to have one was the amount of children and teens on our ship. I was under the impression that only a few teens and children were allowed on and it did seem a bit much since every time I wanted to use the hot tub there was a teen or child in it. Princess needs to be a bit more strict with this policy. Read more
