Cabin Review

Our Princess Grill cabin, number 10061 was starboard, midships on deck 10 and felt much larger than the Princess Grill suite on the Queen Elizabeth. The cabin is squarer in shape giving a feeling of more space compared to the long narrow suite on QE. This also means our balcony was wider and slightly deeper. The balcony has great un-interrupted views and has no overhang which many of the Britannia balcony cabins do have, directly above on deck 11. This doesn't matter on a winter cruise but if you like the sun and are on a summer cruise then some of the cabins on deck 11 will be more shaded. There are two wooden recliner loungers with padded cushions and a small table. The bed was very comfortable as on all Cunard ships and there was lots of storage with a great walk in wardrobe plus two further double wardrobes. In addition there are further storage cupboards, drawers and display shelves plus a drinks cabinet with a fridge below. A safe and a flat screen TV with a fairly good selection of channels. All our cases were stored easily under the bed.The bathroom is also larger than QE although the bath itself is a little shorter. The Shower over the bath is good and has a flexible hose unlike the fixed shower on QE so you can adjust height etc. Our cabin was beneath Britannia balcony staterooms on deck 11 and above a Queen Suite on deck 9 so is very quiet with no public areas to cause an issue. There is a staff access area door a short way along the corridor but didn't cause us any problems. Lifts are also conveniently close just a few yards away but again nothing can be heard from these.
