On Saturday the 17th September I was lucky enough to visit the Grand Princess on a self guided tour with some lunch.  I was pleased that the tour was self guided, it meant we could see things at our own pace.

As usual I have taken lots of photo’s from my camera phone as they give a good idea of what the ship is like.  Some of the images can be clicked to load up a full screen slide show.

I was very impressed by the ship personally, I thought that it had character and was of a high standard.  I liked the fact that there were so many different areas to go, something for everyone.  I haven’t put any photos of my lunch this time but I can tell you that I was not disappointed, it was lovely.

We found the above area which has a small shallow paddling type pool and lots and lots of sun loungers.

The area above and below carries a surcharge of $10 per person for a half daily basis

This is the drinks station in the buffet restaurant, there were a couple of these.

Fact of the day… When I was on Crystal cruises a 16oz bottle of budweiser was $4, on the Grand Princess it is $5.25, then $7.25 for a 20oz can of Fosters, seroiusly !

The above and below photos are from the buffet area.

There was a model of the Grand Princess by the lifts to remind you where you are in case you forgot 🙂

The nightclub area was very fancy and well lit.

There were some really nice areas to chillout in like the one above.

An adults only pool is welcomed by some during the school holidays I’m sure.

There is a chapel on board just in case you fancy getting married.

Safety First 🙂

This is what the pullman berths look like when pushed away, hardly noticable.

We stopped these on a room service trolley.

This is what the bathroom on a disabled access balcnony cabin looks like.

The above are is a sports bar that will allow smoking.

We couldn’t get into the kids clubs as the doors were locked so I took photos through the glass doors.

The gym area was massive.
