We were on the 10-11-09 sailing to Hawaii. We had six people in our party. My wife and I are in our early 50's, my parents and my mother and father In-law are in their 80's. Overall we had a great time on this cruise. We are all veteran cruisers and the Golden Princess and its crew provided us with and great time on this cruise.

On the first sea day we had a Cruise Critic meet and great in the Skywalker Lounge. Thanks tor Donna and Ramona for organizing it. All the senior ships officers attended the gathering and took time to talk to us all. We met a lots of nice people. A special "Hello" to Deb and Don and Linda and Dale. We really enjoyed meeting you guys and having time to hang out.

The ship is in very good shape. All the public areas looked new and were well maintained. Our cabin C218 was a forward balcony. It was clean and adequate for my wife and I. The balcony was the largest we have ever had. We think what made this cruise so nice for us was the service we received on the Golden Princess. The crew was exceptional. All of them were very friendly and wanted to make our cruising experience a great one. The Capitan David Calabrese was very warm and friendly. We saw him around the ship taking time to visit with passengers, we saw Capitan Calabrese more than any other cruise we have taken.He is a very nice man. Read more
