Our large group of travel friends booked this trip a year ago. We are SF natives who love the ease of leaving from SF. The cruise was a California Southern Coastal Cruise with stops in Santa Barbara, LA, San Diego and Encinada. Most of us booked the Club Level for a few dollars more which has it's perks.They have a special bar, the Club 15 where we had our nightly cocktails, a bottle of wine upon arrival in our room, extra thick bath robes and Club Dining (anytime) in a special area of the dining room. We had a mini suite midship which is a fantastic location for ease of getting places on board. The service was wonderful but the smoking in the Casino was a detriment. We hope that Princess will make some changes with that in the very near future! Our experience was otherwise smooth, friendly and easy.
The cabins have had a face lift which new TV's mounted on the wall and new couches....However, the cushions on the couch were not matching in size so not sure what that was about.
