I traveled on the Star Princess with my sister.  This was my sixth Princess cruise, first time at the Platinum Captain's Circle level.  It was my sister's 11th Princess cruise.  We traveled round-trip out of San Francisco.  We chose this trip because our travel agent provided a charter bus ride from Sacramento.

Traffic in the San Francisco embarcadero area was very congested, our bus spending over an hour to go less than one mile. Once at the pier embarkation was very well organized. It didn't take very long to obtain our cruise card and go through security and board the ship.

This was the largest ship I've ever been on.  One could tell it was designed for maximum passenger capacity and revenue generation.  The Promenade deck is much narrower than older ships.  There are no deck chairs on the Promenade deck, just a few benches.   There is a wine bar and wine accessories shop taking up a big chunk of space on the Plaza level.

Cabin Review

Cabin AA

Mini-suite.  Narrow room.  Lots of storage.  Uncovered balcony on the small size but it had two loungers, two chairs and a table.  Great location.
