There are several choices of staterooms. Most of the staterooms are basically the same size. The major difference between the inside and outside cabins is, of course, the view. On the Sea Princess there are 400 Staterooms with balconies. The cost difference between an inside and outside cabin is approximately 36% higher. Also, the higher the deck, the higher the price of the stateroom. Since we are "economical" travelers, we choose the lowest price cabin available and were not at all disappointed.
Each stateroom had our choice of a queen bed or two singles, a large dresser and vanity with lighted mirror and hairdryer, a chair and a stool, night stand with a telephone, a cabinet for the T.V. on top, storage including a safe for your valuables, and a refrigerator at the bottom. Inside the refrigerator you will find an ice bucket and it will always have ice in it. The large closet had more than enough wooden hangers for all our clothes and also had wire baskets for more storage. The closet doors had full-length mirrors. The rooms are bright and well lit.
The bathrooms have a shower, toilet, sink and lighted mirror, several shelves to store toiletries, and a cabinet below the sink for clean towels - we ALWAYS had plush, clean towels and also larger towels to use at the pool. There were two nice robes hanging behind the door. If the robes are not there, simply ask your Steward and he will bring them right away.
There are no clocks in the staterooms, but you can reach a "talking clock" on the telephone at anytime. There is also a computerized "wake-up" service that works well. Directly outside the stateroom door was a mailbox where the Princess Patter and other pertinent information was placed to help plan the next day’s activities.
Each night while we were at dinner, our Room Steward would turn down our bed, place chocolates on our pillows and straighten up any clothes we had left out, along with replacing any used towels.
The Princess television service includes three channels of music, many movie channels, a weather channel and CNN. There are several channels featuring activities of the day, information on shore tours and history and environmental talks about the different ports. Another channel featured the "BridgeCam" which was mounted at front of the ship. If you are occupying an inside cabin and you are not sure what the weather is like, or if you are in port, just switch on that channel and have a look.
