Grand Princess feedback
Hi all,
We recently found ourselves able to cruise during the first week of January (after New Year's), and, probably like many of you, got an e-mail offer from Princess for $699 balcony cabins with a mini-suite upgrade for only $99 more. Strongly considering it (love the fact that while it's a Western itinerary, it's got Costa Maya instead of Jamaica, and since it's not Royal, we can skip Labadee -- been there enough, thank you!), but have read a couple of mixed reviews about the ship recently. I can't imagine why we wouldn't love it, we very much enjoyed our Sea Princess cruise two years ago, but would love to hear from anyone that's done the Grand within the past few months. Thanks in advance. ~ Peri |

Hello Peri,
We are sailing Grand Princess 1-11-04, a week after you. We haven't seen the $699 balcony offer. Could you e-mail it. We are on Baja with an inside category I. We expect to get an upgrade offer from Princess soon and we want to have an idea of what a fair price would be for an upgrade. KPJEG and Gregory C. Read replied with strong recommendations for Grand. What negative comments did you garner from the "mixed review"? Bob "Peri" wrote in message . ..

We sailed on Grand Princess last September with two other couples. All had
mini-suites. My husband wasn't looking forward to a cruise on such a large ship with so many people, but ended up really enjoying the ship and PC dining. Our review starts here... http://cruisediva.com/Grand_diary.htm Hope this helps. Linda CruiseDiva.com http://cruisediva.com |

Linda, thanks. I read the review when you originally posted it, but as with most
things, it didn't really stick until it became relevant to ME! After reading the comments already posted, I can't imagine why we won't just go ahead and book this baby. Now we have to decide whether or not to try Personal Choice dining... ~ Peri Linda Coffman wrote: We sailed on Grand Princess last September with two other couples. All had mini-suites.

Hello Linda,
Scanned your review of Grand Princess and enjoyed what I read immensely. Will have to return to read it beginning to end. You mentioned a cab to Majahual. Was it Uvero Beach and do you remember how much the cab fare was? Bob "Linda Coffman" wrote in message ... We sailed on Grand Princess last September with two other couples. All had mini-suites.

Was it Uvero Beach and do you remember how much the cab fare was? Bob, our friends took the cab to Majahual for the day and I would have to ask them, but doubt they remember the name of the beach. From what they said, everything was pretty cheap--the cab, food, beers. They even had massages on the beach that were only a fraction of what they'd have cost on the ship Linda CruiseDiva.com http://cruisediva.com |

Uh, you may not have to decide, actually. On the Golden Princess two years ago nearly everyone was given Personal Choice the first night. So be prepared for that; we had no trouble getting it changed for the rest of the cruise. Eileen |

Believe me, you will not feel like you are cruising with 2700+ folks.
We have cruise Grand, Golden & Star & never had problems. Just debarkation is the only time you have lines for customs, the airport in FLL is unbelievable with us lined up to the parking garage last Saturday (11/29). |
