Princess Cruises: Grand Princess

Grand Class review covers: Golden Princess, Grand Princess, Star Princess

Favorites

Best Place to Escape the Crowds: Skywalker's Disco has comfy semiprivate alcoves facing port and starboard and is virtually deserted during the day. It's the ideal spot to read or just watch the sea. The bar isn't open, though, so bring your own refreshments if you plan to stay awhile.

Best Added Value: For a few dollars you can wash and dry a load of dirty clothing in the convenient self-service passenger laundry rooms. You'll also find irons there to touch up garments wrinkled from packing.

Our Favorite Spot for a Nightcap: The Wheelhouse Bar, with soft lighting, comfortable leather chairs, shining brass accents, ship paintings, and nautical memorabilia, has become a Princess tradition.

Best Balcony Cabins: Nearly famous for the huge size of their balconies are minisuites E728 and E729. Both spaces are great for relaxing and entertaining, but both cabins can be noisy.
