Sapphire Princess Review

Additional details
We sailed from Los Angeles on the Sapphire Princess March 3 to March 10, 2012. The group included our daughter, a granddaughter, a grandson and his fiance'; none of whom had cruised before, and my wife and I who have cruised several times on river cruises, small ship cruises and bigger ship cruises from 4 days to 15 days.
First the pros.
We had late seating in the International Dining Room and found the selection, quality, presentation and taste to be much better than we expected based on other reviews. Our waiter, Dan, and his assistant, George, were among the best that we have ever had. They made sure that our table of six were well cared for and answered all the questions of our four first timers, one of whom is a vegetarian.
Cabin Review
Our cabin was D410, port side on Dolphin Deck, slightly forward of the panoramic elevators.
The room, a mini-suite with veranda, was spacious and very comfortable. The closet was described as "walk in" and provided plenty of space for hanging dresses, shirts, suits and pants. Lots of hangers !! A double-doored cabinet with shelves had space for folded clothes such as underwear, socks, tee shirts and shoes.
The bathroom was very roomy with a tub/shower combo. Floor of tub not equipped with non-slip mat so we use a hand towel which doesn't slip when it gets wet.
Veranda was roomy enough for two persons and was furnished with two recliner lounges, two foot stools and a table.
