There were 6 of us in total. My boyfriend 23, his mum and dad both 49, grandma 81, grandad 83 and me 21. We were all very excited to be going on the Grand Princess as we'd heard such good things about it. Plus my boyfriend's grandma & grandad kept telling us how this would be their last holiday ever (they say this every year!)
Our first impression of the ship was "wow". It looks stunning and very classy. Checking in was a breeze and everyone was so lovely to my boyfriend's grandma who isn't very good on her legs and was in a wheelchair. She was wheeled around by some lovely young men and seemed to be in her element. Once on board the ship we were greated warmly and made our way to our rooms, which took a while as most cruises are mazes. Luckily a nice member of staff showed us the way.
My boyfriend and I stayed in a very cosy and clean inside cabin, as did his mum and dad. There was everything we needed here. Mini fridge, large dressing table and chair, tv, compact bathroom. Although we did notice that my boyfriend's mum and dad had a nice comfy chair and we didn't! We tired not to get too jealous ;) The only downside was the hairdryer really which was like someone blowing on your hair. Then again I do have long thick hair so it's a challenge for any hairdryer!
Our cabin was very quiet and right at the end of a corridor. We had no problems apart from the fridge door falling off! That was quickly sorted out and the rest of the stay was wonderful.
