I was very impressed with the Grand Princess, she is quite grand! We loved the Sanctuary, the Vista Show Lounge, the Grand Casino, Boutiques and so much more.  We took the stairs most everywhere as we knew there would be a big lunch ahead of us!  We were able to see all the pools as well as the youth & teen center and chapel.  We visited the Grand suite, the Penthouse suite, mini suites, window suites, inside rooms as well as ocean view rooms.  And of course, the lunch was truly amazing, with each course looking like a work of art and tasting delicious. We thank Princess for having us on board for a few hours to take in this truly remarkable & Grand Ship!
