Overall Room Condition Impressions

Would You Book This Same Cabin Again?
Its Not a Bad Cabin -- I would be open to trying a different cabin, however.
Noise In Cabin
No Noise -- Very Quiet Cabin
The actual cabin was very quiet. No noise from elevators, vista lounge etc. However on days when tender boats were needed, the noise from getting the lifeboats out into the water is very very loud indeed. Wasn't a problem but just warning potential occupants of this cabin. I thought it would have been nice to warn us, as I nearly jumped out of my skin when it happened the first time very early in the morning,
Cabin Odor
No noticable Odors
Temperature Control in Cabin
Why did they even bother putting a thermostat in the cabin -- it didn't work
having said that, I found I couldn't get the cabin as cold as I liked it. My friends had a balcony cabin 2 decks up and it was just the same, so I think the temperature is not really controlled in the room. It was coolish but not cold.
WiFi Signal Strength in Cabin D201
I'm on vacation -- the last thing I want to do is connect to WiFi. (I didn't test it…)
Lighting
The lighting was good -- nothing extraordinary
Bathroom Condition
Spotless. Everything is in top shape and feels very clean
View From The Cabin
Very good view
I actually liked having a window- not only for views but it was a good place to dry socks on the window ledge as the sun came in there.
Drawers, Clothes and Luggage Storage
Excellent. I was able to find a place for everything in the drawers and closet. I didn't have to leave anything in my suitcase
Technology, Comfort & Convenience
Good. Appropriately sized, flat-panel TV and Ipod dock
Lounging Space
Very Good. Chair or a couch with a coffee or side table
Your Comments & Observations (OPTIONAL QUESTION)
Well the survey didn't give me place to answer some things properly. We loved the cabin location and would choose it again. Close to restaurants, vista lounge, shops, gym and beauty salons.Only "walk" was to the Princess theatre(once each night) or to the Horizon bar. We chose to take the lift ( close to the cabin but never hear any noise what so ever from the lifts) to the 14th deck and then walk on the outside deck straight to the Horizon Bar. I also have no idea if there was an iPad dock as I didn't have an IPad with me, so never looked, I also did not use the TV. There was one small stool and a chair in the cabin, so if you wanted to sit in your room to have a drink, probably best for one to sit on the bed. The shower room/toilet area is adequate and the water temperature was excellent. However if you are big people- beware, You MIGHT have trouble in that department. We saw some very very fat people on board the ship and would loved to have known how they coped in the shower. I love that Princess give you free access to ironing facilities. There are also laundries on board ( at a small charge)- around $7 to wash and dry a quite good size load.I took my own laundry powder and washed almost everything in the bathroom (there is a clothesline over the shower for smalls) and I took about 8 pegs- a necessity!!!! I hung our drip dry tops and trousers on hangers and they mostly dried overnight. Only got jeans sent to the laundry. Overall a great, friendly ship- but a lot of elderly people with limited mobility. Not really a cruise for the under 40's. although there are lots of amenities for kids. I have been twice on this show now and would go again in a heartbeat- and have the same cabin. Hope this helps.
