Pacific Princess Review

Holy Land in November
We returned to the Pacific Princess seven weeks after our Black Sea cruise. Our original intention had been to book the same itinerary on Azamara, but they cancelled the trip that suited our dates, so we switched back to Princess.
The cruise started on a Thursday and this time we decided to use Princess flights - never again. The flight out was from Gatwick and the flight back was to Heathrow. We are lucky as we live in central London and either suits, but there were several unhappy British couples who lived in the Midlands and the West Country. If Princess is selling a premium brand they need to sort this out with British Airways or use other airlines. That aside, the meet and greet at the airport was excellent, as was the short tour in Athens on the way to the airport at the end. Princess does appear to have the boarding and embarkation side well sorted.
Cabin Review
Balcony
Our experience is on 7084 and 7085 on Pacific Princess. Both are the same layout and are fine, with a decent bed and room for a proper couch. Storage was OK and the bathroom a reasonable size. The only thing to watch is the balcony - there is a solid plate at low level which partly obstructs the view -a cabin a little further back would overcome this problem but then you would have to walk further to the stairs.
