Diamond Princess Review

Additional details
My husband of 37 years and I decided on a whim to take an Inside Passage cruise because the price was right and it was a trip we hoped to make "someday". I had taken a 3-day cruise to the Bahamas earlier in the year and my husband had not cruised before. We are very seasoned travelers, but not experienced cruisers.
Well, in 37 years of marriage this cruise was the most relaxed we had ever been on vacation! Our every need was addressed and even some we didn't think of! If you want to relax, take a cruise! I never had to think about where we were going today, what am I going to cook today, do we need gas for the rental car, where shall we sightsee today, the only thing we had to think about is what dining room shall we use today and should we get out of bed or stay in bed and be slugs?
Princess has everything down to a science from meeting your flight upon arrival and retrieving your suitcases and getting them where they need to go, to the fast check-in procedures. Everything works like a well-oiled machine!
Cabin Review
Ample space, we had an obstructed view which turned out to be between two life boats, so not very obstructed, not much of a view but plenty of light. We were right at the area where several hallways merged, it was not noisy at all. The elevator was very close. We used the stairs many times, trying to stay in shape that way. The stateroom was nicely decorated and kept very clean by the steward. I don't think you would want 3 or 4 people in the room however. Too much togetherness in a tight space in my opinion.
