We picked up a great last minute deal for a quick trip on the Star Princess to Alaska. The embarkation port of San Francisco made it an easy decision since we have a home in the bay area. We are 4 Star Mariners with Holland America and have take several Celebrity cruises. We like smaller ship cruising with a good dining experience. The itinerary and embarkation in San Francisco were the major draw to this cruise.
We selected an inside cabin on the 10th deck. This was our first time booking an inside cabin and we found it was okay for a short cruise. Our cabin was C728 and it was small. The sound proofing between the inside cabins was lacking. I could hear the guy in the next cabin snore all night! The shower was very small and there were few amenities. However the bed was comfortable and had nice linens.
The elevators on the ship were a frustration to me. With very long waits, I ended up taking the stairs which is healthy for me. I found that once an elevator would get to my floor it was filled with scooters and walkers making no room for others. I found the scooters on the ship annoying when they were placed in the hallways to charge. I have to admit that happens on HAL and X too!
