Accommodation
Grand Princess Cruise Ship
Grand Princess was recently refitted in 2019. Features include a completely new Piazza atrium, new eateries (Alfredo’s Pizzeria and the Crown Grill), and the line’s first specialty tea lounge called Leaves. Also added are seven new window suites; remodeled casino, boutiques, and art gallery; enhancements to the Horizon Court, Lotus Spa, and wedding chapel; and the addition of Crooner’s Martini Lounge and a new nightclub, One5.
Interior Cabin: The Most Affordable Option
These staterooms are the perfect place to recharge your batteries. The most affordable option features two twin beds or a queen-size bed. Other amenities include a refrigerator, hair dryer, TV, closet, and bathroom with shower.
Oceanview Cabin: A Room with a View
Enjoy the added benefit of a view of the ocean from a picture window or porthole that brings in natural light. This stateroom includes all the amenities of an interior room.
Balcony Cabin: Front Row Seat for Beautiful Scenery
This impressive stateroom offers the added indulgence of a balcony and gives you more space than a standard stateroom. Enjoy your own private outdoor space with a table, two chairs, and a relaxing view of the inspiring scenery surrounding you, whether a beautiful sunset over the ocean or a new city to explore. It’s also perfect to enjoy cocktails before dinner or a leisurely breakfast.
