I have cruised many times, and didn't really care where went. Princess offered the best price for a seven day trip, and my agency gave me huge upgrade. I've never been above deck 5 before. I was upgraded to deck 10. It was hard to break the habit of everything from dining rooms to the library from being UP.
My stateroom was clean and comfortable, and I loved the temperature control. On a previous cruise I was cold, and asked for an extra blanket. It was not provided, but after two days of making up two beds, the steward provided one. This time it was not an issue.
I met many wonderful people, and the cruise was filled with activities I enjoyed. I was nervous about another Princess cruise, as the last one were almost all white affluent seniors. This was more diverse.
I had an inside cabin, with two double beds put together. I had no problem, but if I had a girl with me, the divide between the two beds might have been an issue. It was clean and my steward gave me good service. I found a woman's jeweled ring in my safe and turned it into passenger services. I had no complains.
