My wife and I have cruised with Princess Line ships now on four occasions, two on the Dawn Princess, one aboard the Sun Princess, and now the Golden Princess. For us older citizens we both found the Golden Princess a little too big. It was difficult to remember where things were, and quite an effort to find them. Decks were not quite as "friendly", and the Promenade deck was much narrower than on the two other ships. Also, I found the sauna/spa area too difficult and dangerous to utilize. Wet, slippery deck, steps, and not enough hand rails for safety. Never-the-less everything else was the usual Princess standard. Food, dining, cabin, (and particularly the steward service) and other facilities are highly recommended. Age should not be a barrier as we saw many people on the Golden Princess using walking sticks, walker frames and even a number of motorized wheelchairs.

Cruising is a wonderfui relaxing experience - When does the next one depart!
