Generally I would avoid. Very busy (it was Christmas!!) and shops average. I would suggest access to Jenners/ and S etc from Rose street

Princes Street is always busy so aim for first thing or last thing if you want to avoid the crowds. Or go straight for George Street where the shops are much nicer!
