Review summary

the trip was an excellent trip. however, the room was much smaller than we thought. the bed arrangements were bad. made the room looks even smaller than the inside cabin. very disappoint with the size of the room. however, balcony view is always a big plus . wonderful view and fresh air.

If you ever want to know the size of the cabin before you book just look on the cruiseline website for the dimensions. You can usually find pics and videos of your same size room online. That way you never need to be disappointed. Usually they are so small there is only one way the furniture can be arranged. But if you have a better idea for furniture layout, let Princess know.

Yeah...on the "Love Boat" every cabin had a window...a full size bathroom...a walk in closet...and about 40' from the window to the door...even the bartender's cabin had those features...well once again I was taught that there was a difference between television and reality...but the size of the room is a minor point...as long as I can stretch out without hitting anything and the door from the cabin still leads to food and fun...I will still be cruising through life one port at a time ð³

Yes, the Love Boat mislead us!! Lol! But the fun, games, food, relaxing, and being waited on hand & foot is OH SO worth that small cabin.

I remember my first cruise...I had seen a number of "Love Boat" episodes...so I was surprised by the room size...but I swiftly realized that I was in my room to sleep, shower and change...so as long as I could move I was happy...move and eat of course
