We wanted to leave out of San Francisco. Our room was small but had everything we needed including a balcony. This was our first time with a balcony. Am very spoiled now. We only had a few complaints the seas were a bit rough and walking down the decks to the elevators was very hard at times. A room in the middle of the ship would have been better for us. The elevators were packed or very slow. Not having elevators that went from top to bottom was a bit of a challenge most of the time, but she still is a very Grand lady for sure. The entertainment was bad for us. Being older and not able to get around made seeing the show almost impossible. We tried getting in but there were no seats that we could get down too so we didn't see one. There aren't enough places to sit where the entertainment is unless you get there hours early and wait. We did enjoy our cruise even though we were unable to do a lot of things. Princess was very good to me and I would like to thank the help I received when trying to set up a Meet and Greet. They went above and beyond what they had to do for us. We are sailing again next year...
