Golden Princess Review

Additional details
This was a 3-generation Family Reunion Cruise, 19 in all from ages 3 – almost retired.
Pre-cruise we stayed 2 nights @ Silver Cloud, Broadway in Seattle, a lovely hotel. A little distance from downtown but they provide a shuttle to take guests to local sites. We took the Lite Rail from the Airport to West Lake Ctr and the hotel shuttle picked us up. Easy as can be. If you have a lot of luggage it might be a pain but we mastered it coming & going.
Boarding – the trick is to get your luggage to a longshoreman and then you can bypass getting in the line with luggage, it’s much quicker that way. We got in line around 12:15PM and were onboard eating in the dining room less than an hour later. It’s true no one wants to tell you which dining room is serving lunch; it’s a Princess Best Kept Secret.
Cabin Review
We were pleased with our cabin. On a previous Alaskan Cruise we were in a balcony cabin but opted this time for inside cabin to be near our family. It really worked out just great. We spent very little time in our cabin and enjoyed the views out and about every bit as we did when we had a balcony. We slept very well in the darkened room and had no noise from above or below. We were mid-ship on Aloha Deck. Perfect!
