My wife and I sailed on the new Pacific Princess to Alaska. This was my fifth Princess Cruise and the best of the Princess cruises I've been on. I've been on over 30 cruises and this ranks high on the list.
We had a mini suite which was spacious. There wasn't enough closet space but that was our fault not Princesses. The dEcor in the room is very nice. The balcony was very spacious. They even have lap robes for glacier and other cold days. They are replacing the mattresses 50 a trip. Ours hadn't been replaced. The bed was wretched. They will put an egg carton thing on it, but theirs isn't very good. I had gotten a better one from Target for $16. We took it on in a carryon and left it on board. With it sleep was hard. Without it it would have been impossible. One interesting thing is the "mailbox" outside your cabin door. It is a glass box. Your name is on it when you board. You receive all of your Princess Patters, invitations, etc. in that box rather than under the door.
The ship is wonderful. The decor is like an English Manor house. Very comfortable. A lot of antique reproductions. Beautiful paintings are everywhere as are artifacts. The library is stunning. All of the public rooms are furnished tastefully and beautifully. The restaurants too are well decorated. The main dining room can be a bit noisy. We had a table for two by the window but it was only inches away from a table for six so we really felt like we were at a table for eight. The room between tables is minimal.
