This was my first and last Transatlantic cruise and my last cruise with Princess...
While the ship is beautiful and the crew is the best I have ever seen the overall experience was a nightmare, because...
1) There weren't old people on this cruise, there were old people's parents. While many were nice there were an equal amount that were rude, demanding and obnoxious and it affected my experience.
R701. This room is directly below the Horizon Cafe and next to the fire doors, as a result you hear carts all night long as the wait staff moves them and the wheels hit the steel bar on the ground that seal the fire door when it closes.
On the other hand you go up one flight and boom you're at the buffet.
As a result I can't recommend this room at all, move two or three towards the back and it could be much better.
