Sea Princess Review

Additional details
We are a married couple, mid-50's to early 60's, and we have cruising with Priucess exclusively since 2002. We are very comfortable with their product, and generally know what to expect from Princess. Hence, when they really miss on something, or don't deliver as promised, we know it! And when they do what they are supposed to do, or do things better than usual, we know that as well.
We took this cruise since we had to be in San Francisco the week before departure on business, and also because it was an opportunity to take my parents along for their first cruise to Alaska. They cruise, but only with us, and not nearly as often.
Since we arrived well ahead of embarkation day, we chose to take a shuttle from the airport to our Fisherman's Wharf hotel. It was very smooth. One could also take public transportation, but I am not known for packing lightly, and with six pieces of luggage between the two of us, it would have been nearly impossible. Our stay along Fisherman's Wharf was quite enjoyable, and very relaxing for me. DH worked.
Cabin Review
Balcony
The balcony cabins on the Sea Princess are smaller than those on the Grand Class ships. The bathroom is tinier, with less storage area under the sink. The closets are adequate, but the door placement is awkward. The bathroom door and closet doors cannot be open at the same time. We found storage space adequate, and our part of the hallway was nice and quiet, being almost completely aft.
