Grand Princess Review

Additional details
Sailing from San Francisco is so convenient for SF-Bay Area residents. We took the ferry from Vallejo to Pier 41 in San Francisco and made the short walk to Pier 35 to embark on the Grand Princess. Porters immediately available to take our luggage and we entered the building to check in. This was the first time I had to show the bottle of wine I was bringing aboard and give them my cabin number.
After a short wait in the waiting room, we were able to board and go to our cabin to drop off luggage before going to lunch. My cabin was AFT just beyond the elevator and stairs. Very convenient location to the launderette on decks 9 and 11, MDR on deck 6. I didn't feel a lot of rocking during rough weather.
Hector Bernal was our cabin steward. He did an excellent job!
Cabin Review
Balcony
C641 near crews storage area. Larger balcony than those on decks 9,11,12. Half of balcony covered. People on balconies above could look down on us and we could look down on those below us.We could hear gears grinding as they were lowering the lifeboats used for tendering.
