From our arrival at Sea-Tac to the ship boarding process at Pier 91 we were treated like VIPs. Everyone involved in the multi-stepped process of getting passengers to their assigned staterooms knew exactly what they were doing. Our bags were delivered to our cabin while we explored the ship allowing us to find the prepared buffet, which was outstanding.The only complaint we heard from other passengers regarded the lengthy time it took to re-board Golden Princess at our 4 ports of call. The post 9/11 security requirements have put a crimp in the re-boarding process, however, it was reassuring to see that the ship's security personnel took their jobs quite seriously. Every member of the crew we came in contact with, from the Captain to the various stewards, always greeted us in a very friendly and professional manner. We took advantage of Princess' future cruise booking program and have made reservations to visit the Panama Canal in January 2012 aboard Coral Princess. I have no doubt that we shall experience the same pleasant atmosphere we enjoyed aboard Golden Princess. The Princess Cruises company has gained another pleased customer.
