I agree with ijkh. We did the exact same cruise this past summer on the Star Princess (July 3rd sailing). It was pretty much what I expected. We're a family of four and had 2 mini suites next to each other. I thought the cabins were okay and the staff was pretty responsive when ever we needed anything. Since the Star Princess is a large ship (roughly 2,600 passengers) I didn't expect any personalize service from the staff. The price was decent, especially since my mother-in-law was our travel agent and kicked her commission back to us. You just have to keep in mind that Princess is a middle of the road cruise line. It's not Seabourne or Crystal Cruises.
