Grand Princess Cruise Reviews - Tips

Hallways are long but I really needed the exercise, so no problem. All restaurants and Buffets are Excellent, but if you are looking for a special treat, the specialty restaurants are superior and are an excellent value for the additional cover charge, Especially Sabatini's!

Provide a shuttle from forward to aft on the ship(?).

Laundry was closed on our floor and we were directed to another floor. Very small laundry room.

Except for the malfunction great ship. Great room

I would recommend this ship and this cruise to anyone.

Pick center of ship if possible.

Font get at the back of the ship

Early mornings are Great at the Internation Cafe.

Understand it is going in for updating, which it needs. Saw mini-suites and that is a nice option

It took a few days to get used to the layout but it seemed ok. We loved going out after dinner, seeing a great entertainment show and then going dancing. There were a couple of places to go with depending on the time of evening.

We stayed on the 5th floor and really enjoyed it...coffee bar and international food court was just down the hall...😜

Belgian waffles for breakfast from the ice cream stand but the outdoor pool, only found out the second to last day on board. Coffee card from Internstionsl Cafe good for free mighty leaf tea anytime.

I like being aft and up higher on the ship. I enjoy the motion and the vibrations and sounds of the engines. We loved our cabin location on deck 9, Dolphin. The only problem was numerous children running up and down the halls at night. But, it was a Christmas cruise, so I understand.

Grand Princess should really consider special discounted pricing for singles who want to be alone in a cabin. Why do they have to pay double? Many travel firms in Europe accommodate to single travelers and no extra fees are added to their reservations. Plan activities that don't involve money.

The Grand Princess is a large ship and needs a little to time to learn your way around. Everyone is always helpful to get you to where you want to be. Take time and explore the ship!

Ship a bit old and requires more maintenance on front elevators- Re calibrate program for better response time to higher floors.

Do your own research on the tours, I would simple taken a cab into town. If you want to ride cheap take the bus. we paid $28 for a cab and came back by bus for $3.

Great fun in the Casino and also playing bingo. Loved the cocktail hour daily at 3:00 buy one and get one drink for 1.00. Food could have been better. New York steak tough. They should serve steak knives when ordering a steak. Lobster night great and delicious.

When crossing the Pacific, make sure that your cabin is mid-ship as the Pacific will tend to be very rough..

Last day going into sanfransisco was rough so I suggest a motion sickness medicine even just for that day.
