I love Princess Cruises! I will only sail with Princess because every cruise with them has been a wonderful experience! I can't wait until our next cruise in November!

The Princess staff was amazing from the time we met our transfer at SFO until we disembarked. Everyone was friendly and very accommodating.

We at in the main dining rooms and also at the Crown Grill. The food was delicious and we enjoyed every meal.

My husband and I participated in Zumba, BINGO (I won $498), line dancing, trivia, walked laps on deck 7, and used the fitness center.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Loved the shows! There was a new show that combined taped interviews with Broadway stars/dancers and the dancers on the stage. It was incredible! We went to six different shows and they were all excellent.

No kids

Service and Staff

The crew onboard was awesome! They were friendly and so helpful. My husband and I felt like we were at home.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Loved the ship and it was VERY CLEAN! The Captain and crew do a terrific job maintaining the Grand Princess!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was very clean and the mattress was so comfy. We slept like babies in our mothers' arms while onboard the Grand. Plenty of room and we used our balcony often.

Ship tip

I would say that if you want to really enjoy your trip, go to the Cruise Desk as soon as you get on board to sign up for the ship tour. It was $150 each, but worth every penny. We saw everything, from the mooring deck to the bridge and everything in between.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Fast, friendly, and easy is all I can say about the Princess staff at disembarkation. Super easy.

Hubby and I are celebrating our ten year anniversary on the Grand in November. It will be our first cruise together since our honeymoon! (I've gone on three to Mexico with my girlfriends recently.) I can't wait, and check in on this site everyday for new reviews, travel tips, etc!

I love the Grand...but being honest I cruised with both Princess and Celebrity when they were coming out of San Francisco...if Princess left The City and another line came in I would probably change.

Ditto! Except I am a month behind you. Please enjoy your November cruise.
