Additional details
I'm a 56yr old Airline Capt, my wife a 51yr old retired Flight Attendant and my 90yr old mother took this cruise. My Mom is an elite member with Princess and this is our second cruise on Princess.
LAX Embarkation- We took EarlyBird shuttle from our Calif home in the Inland Empire and arrived at around 11:30. Mom uses a transport chair for lond distance traveling instead of walking. We went to the Elite check-in and then were directed to the Elite waiting area. Alittle confusion concerning the need for a wheelchair pusher happened, otherwise boarding was a breeze.
Cabins- We had D615 a mini suite and Mom had D629 a partially covered balcony. We like the mini for the bathtub and added space. First time on D deck and having an uncovered balcony. I bought 2 beach umbrellas from Walmart to use for shade on this heat intensive itinerary. Great idea, It turned the balcony table over and with duct tape and 2 bungee cords made a great shade platform!!
Cabin Review
Nice space. Large closet. Sofa and a chair. 2 flat screen TVs. Good size make up table. 2 drawer bedside tables. Bring an extension cord and power strip if you have a lot of things that need to be charged. Nice size bathroom with Shower/Tub combo. Uncovered balcony with 2 chairs and foot stools.
