Hey folks - for some of you Princess Cruisers.. I could use your help.

I live in Houston and Princess is going to be operating the Grand from Galveston next year. I've wanted to try Pincess out and this seems like a good opportunity. My questions are about the cabins.

Space is extremely important to us... we actually spend a lot of time on the balcony and like room to spread out in the cabin.

We have sailed regular outisde on Carnival, Cat C on RCCL and S Suite on HAL... from what I can tell, the Princess rooms are fairly tiny. Can anyone give me some idea about how well they are laid out - I'm certain I can only deal with something like the AA or AB mini-suites but even they seem cramped. I have looked at some of the stateroom web sites and the 360 tours but that's not the same as actually speaking with people who have done them - and especially not people who have done both Princess and other lines in similar cabin types.

Also, how do the cabin perks compare (boarding/concierge or butler, etc...)

I'm appreciative of any input you can offer.

Thanks and cheers to all!

Steve
