We flew out of Heathrow on Monday 19th January with American Airlines on a direct flight to Los Angeles. We arrived on time and were met at the airport by Princess reps who gathered together very efficiently the nearly 50 Brits who had all travelled together, and coached us to the Hilton Hotel for our overnight stay. Luggage was left outside our room the next morning for collection, and we did not see our cases again until we got to our stateroom. That was so easy. A coach picked us up at 11.00am and took us on the short 20 minute run to the cruise terminal. The terminal was very efficiently run, and within about 30 minutes we had booked in, been given our stateroom cards, sorted out all the paperwork required regarding passports etc, and in no time we were through security and on our way on board. The obligatory half dozen photographers were waiting to take photos before boarding, but more about them later. In no time at all we were on board and standing in front of our stateroom door ready to enter.

Stateroom.

Very pleased indeed with our stateroom. The usual compact, but very good bathroom, a nice bedroom/sitting area, but best of all the balcony. This was our first cruise in a balcony stateroom, and there is no way we will ever cruise again without one. We made full use of it both at sea and in port. To sit on the balcony on a warm night, as the ship smoothly sailed onwards was bliss, and when it came to going through the canal it really came into its own.

Deck 11 balcony stateroom. Great location, great balcony, more than sufficient room. Bathroom small but more than adequate. Only 2 decks down from the food and sundecks. not too far to walk.
