Grand Princess offers a welcoming atmosphere with a blend of classic cruising and modern comforts. Carrying up to 2,600 guests, the ship features 17 decks, spacious public areas and a variety of places to relax, dine and be entertained. At the heart of the ship, the Piazza provides a lively meeting place inspired by the traditional squares of Europe, with street performers, boutiques, cafés and glass-walled lifts creating an inviting social hub.
There’s plenty of choice throughout the ship, from the tranquil adults-only Sanctuary and the Conservatory to the lively pool decks and entertainment venues. Whether you prefer a leisurely afternoon in the sunshine, a spa treatment or an evening of live music, Grand Princess offers a range of experiences to suit different moods and interests.
You can enjoy a variety of activities on board, including swimming pools, hot tubs, a putting green, shuffleboard and the Lotus Spa Fitness Centre. For a more peaceful escape, The Sanctuary provides an adults-only retreat with comfortable loungers, attentive service, light meals and signature beverages. The Conservatory is another relaxing option, with an enclosed, climate-controlled setting, a freshwater pool, two hot tubs and plenty of space to unwind.
As evening approaches, the Princess Theater hosts original productions, musical performances and guest entertainers, while Movies Under the Stars brings films, concerts and sporting events to the poolside big screen. You can also enjoy live music in the Piazza, visit Crooners for piano entertainment, try your luck in the casino or dance into the night at The One5. The ship also features a Fine Arts Gallery, boutiques and a range of bars and lounges.
Dining on Grand Princess offers a varied choice of included and speciality restaurants. The main dining rooms serve a changing selection of dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner, while World Fresh Marketplace provides a more relaxed buffet experience. The International Café is open 24 hours a day, offering light meals, sandwiches, salads, pastries and speciality coffees. For something casual, you can pick up pizza at Slice Pizzeria or enjoy burgers and other favourites at The Salty Dog Grill.
When you fancy something special, Crown Grill serves premium steaks and seafood in a traditional steakhouse setting, while Sabatini’s Italian Trattoria celebrates Italian cuisine with fresh ingredients and artisanal dishes. Other experiences include Alfredo’s Pizzeria, the pop-up Crab Shack and the Chef’s Table, where you can enjoy a multi-course dinner hosted by the ship’s executive chef. Afternoon tea and Ultimate Balcony Dining provide further opportunities to make mealtimes memorable.
Grand Princess offers a choice of accommodation to suit different budgets and preferences, from comfortable Interior and Oceanview staterooms to Balcony cabins, Mini-Suites and Suites. All accommodation is designed to provide a relaxing place to unwind, with comfortable beds, a private bathroom, television, refrigerator and 24-hour room service.

For larger families or groups, Two Bedroom Family Suites accommodate up to eight guests, with two bathrooms, a large living area and an expansive private balcony.
Couples and multigenerational families more interested in destination-intensive itineraries than activity-packed ships
Energetic families, couples and groups who want a spirited vacation, or those looking for active shipboard pursuits
Princess Cruises attracts a wide passenger base, but the majority are North Americans. There are real differences depending on ships and itineraries, but the bulk of Princess' passengers are 40-plus, although with new family offerings, the line is catering to a more diverse age range, particularly in Alaska and the Caribbean. If you sail on the larger Princess ships, you'll meet a range of passengers from solo travelers to big multigenerational family groups. The smaller Princess ships cater to more mature travelers who want longer, more exotic itineraries and need fewer family-friendly elements.
Princess is fairly traditional in dress. Depending on the length of the cruise, there are a varying number of formal nights, where women wear evening gowns and cocktail dresses and men wear tuxedos, dinner jackets or dark suits with a tie to dinner. On Smart Casual evenings, the line advises passengers to dress similarly to what they would wear to a nice restaurant at home. Pool or beach attire, shorts, baseball caps and casual jeans are out for the dining rooms, and diners must wear shoes even in the buffet.
No. Fares for a Princess cruise include complimentary dining in a few venues, room service, water, tea, coffee, and select juices. Various theater productions, Movies Under the Stars and deck parties are also complimentary, and there is no fee for youth and teen activities, except for late-night group babysitting. Enrichment lectures, classes and presentations are also free with a few exceptions. Specialty restaurants, gratuities, spa and salon services, internet access (MedallionNet), laundry, alcoholic drinks and soda, and shore excursions cost extra.
The types of activities available vary from ship to ship. Still, cruisers typically gather around the pools daily and hang out day and night in the Piazza to enjoy spontaneous performances, live music and dancing. The line's signature Movies Under the Stars is also popular. On select ships, Broadway-style productions draw a crowd in the evening. Most of the ship also turns out for deck parties and activities like stargazing at sea.
