This was our first cruise with Princess having previously cruised with Royal Caribbean and Celebrity. It was also our Wedding anniversary whilst on board. We travelled with Eavesway coaches, provided free by out travel agent. Excellent quick service. After loading our luggage the next time we saw it was in our stateroom.

We booked a guarantee GG stateroom, outside obstructed view. Our view was completely blocked by a tenderboat, and with effort could just about see a glimpse of daylight. This made the stateroom pretty dark almost all the time, and gloomy even with the lights on. An inside would be a better option and save money, or pay the extra and get a proper outside. Cabin was a little on the small side, however sufficient storage space except in the bathroom.

Princess welcomed us with Roses, quality bottle of Champagne, a voucher for a framed portrait and strawberries coated in chocolate - really nicely done. On the day itself, balloons appeared outside our door and we received a cake and a song in the restaurant. Cases arrived quickly. Read more
