We picked this 17 night cruise for its itinerary.
Drove to Southampton and pre booked car parking paid by Princess. Short queue to drive up, unload (porters take luggage), hold over keys to car parking rep (they drive car away), and to a disorderly queue for check in. Once through that, everything was very smooth. We picked a Caribe deck cabin because they have the largest balconies with part roofed over. Cabin itself was good, service excellent,
This was our third cruise on Grand princess, the first since its refit. The main changes we notices were expansion of the atrium (good), removal of that monstrosity over the stern (excellent), the library shrunk and combined with a 'tea bar' (poor) and blocked access to the central stairs from all the main cabin decks causing more-than-before pressure on the lifts (why on earth?)
