Golden Princess Review

Additional details
We did season end cruise twice in the past once with the Princess and the second time with the Celebrity. It was the right time for us to go since most young people would have gone back to their work and kids back to school.
The course itself was nothing new to us but we enjoyed the rather quiet cruise around this time of year and wanted to see the beauty of Alaska once again. In the end, I have to say that it was worth it and we had a great time but this would be our last cruise to Alaska unless there happens to be a very special reason to return.
We heard some bad things about the ship Golden Princess from some of our friends who did the cruise right before we got on board. They all complained about some "Leaky ship" issue. It was quite concerning for us as we did not want to end up in a leaky stateroom. Luckily for us, we did not experience any of such bad experiences that our friends had. In fact, we had a rather good experience with the ship, the service staff and the entertainers.
Cabin Review
It was quiet at night to sleep. It was in the middle and slightly aft of the ship and rarely felt rocking during sails. The arrangement of furniture was efficient enough for two people to move around comfortably without getting in each other's way.
The bathroom was just like many other ships were somewhat smallish. It had enough shelves for our toiletries and shaving kits.
Several mirrors in the room made the room look much larger than what it actually was and we did not feel like we were in a closed space.
The closet space did not have a door and felt exposed but it created a lot more space to easily move things around.
A safe and the closet shelves were good to store some extra items although we did not use all of them.
