My husband (78) and I (72) consider ourselves veteran cruisers after 36 cruises and over 300 days on Princess. Obviously, we prefer Princess where we are made to feel very welcome and comfortable. Over the years, we have noticed changes - some good and some less than good - but that's to be expected. Overall, Princess offers an wonderful cruising experience at with good value for the price.
Our mini-suite was extremely comfortable with loads of storage space. Our room steward was a veteran of whom we could ask no more.
The ship was loaded. Someone said a record 3,500 passengers were on board. It's amazing that there were only minor problems with so many passengers.
The cabin was perfect. Well situated, nice bathroom size, abundant storage space, quiet.
