Well maintained took some time to get layout in our heads. Different than other Princess ships.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Great cabin for a bedroom plenty of room. They have eliminated the stupid round table. TV good. The music on the tV was screwed up. Eventually figured which icon was what I wanted.

Ship tip

Travel south. Make sure your room faces the shore fir mist of the trip if you have a balcony.
