Booked the 28 day Hawaii/South Pacific cruise on Sapphire Princess in late August 2013. Selected guaranteed inside. Received a great inside room, Baja deck, just aft of mid-ship. Room was quiet, a/c in room was almost too chilly and couldn't get it to warm up much. Others we talked with mentioned their rooms were too warm and couldn't get them cooler. Asked steward for a couple of extra pillows first day and he brought 8! Comfortable bed. Plenty of storage, closet and shelf space. Tuned in my stateroom tv to bridge cam each morning to check on outside weather. But we had 28 days of perfect!..calm seas, 2 hours of rain the entire time, 80ish temps every day. Great room location. 2 minutes from cabin to Lido deck/Horizon Court or International Café/Piazza for coffee in am!

We had anytime dining, generally quick seating. We met new shipmates all the time. We also made use of the Horizon Court buffet for many meals. Food for us was above average. We particularly enjoyed utilizing the International Café in the Piazza for Panini sandwiches. I was careful about not turning a 28 day cruise into a 25 pound cruise!...so moderation was the word of the day for me..but I still added 12 pounds..I will blame it on the salt in the food and the carbonation in my diet cokes! I can't speak for others that I saw :)

Ship was very clean and fresh, although the bottom of horizontal surfaces (under the table edge, under ship railings, the window frames ) seemed to lack regular wiping and had drips/stains/water spotting and some grime. (I know ---a salt water environment is tough to keep things spotless)
