We were excited to do our first "Transatlantic" cruise. We booked the GRAND PRINCESS because the rates were excellent, and we wanted to go to multiple continents. We visited, Rome, Cannes, Barcelona, Gibraltar, Morocco, Canary Islands, Brazil(biggest disaster at any port EVER!), Barbados, Dominica and then finally Florida. The trip was long, but enough fun that we have already booked another "transatlantic" cruise for October.
EMBARKATION: I rate it a 10 out of 10! All was perfect, and for that I am grateful.
ROOM: Although part of the great rates required an obstructed view, the view AND room was fantastic! Try to get E411!! This room, although obstructed (so great rates), it is roomy and the view was good too! We had a wonderful steward who actually took time to do the "extras" which we had not received in the prior 4 or 5 cruises.
E411 is a great room with obstructed view! Good size (bigger than our friends with not obstruction) and very close to elevators and quiet! I loved this room.
