Great Time by
James H from Charlotte NC Sailing date: May 2012Pros: The great attention to detail by the crew Cons: The computer room and the person running it We had a wonderful time on the cruise.

   More than I expected by
A Traveler from Maryland Sailing date: Sep 2011Pros: The service and organization Cons: nothing I found everything to be beyond my expectations. The service and the organization to get everyone off and on the ship was friendly and quick. The ship was beautiful and clean. I loved it all. Ship QualityThe ship was clean and up to date. There was something for everyone. Dining/FoodI enjoyed the anytime dining. The food was very good and the selection on the menu was great. Nothing was repeated. The food service was excellent. Stateroom QualityThe beds were very comfortable and nice and warm. The room was big enough for two. We did not spend time in the room other than to sleep and shower. It was clean and nice. Ship Staff QualityThe best! EVERYONE was helpful and friendly. Whatever we needed was taken care of. A plus! Entertainment & ActivitiesThere was something for everyone. If you were bored, it was your own fault.

Kusadasi (Ephesus), TurkeyEphesus was very interesting and worth the visit.
Don't Miss: Ephesus Civitavecchia (Rome), ItalyWell, it's Rome! We definitely needed more time. I would return for a week visit. The Vatican is too crowded, I did not care to see it. I enjoyed walking around the city.
Istanbul, TurkeyThe people were very friendly and the city was so different than I thought. I would return with more time to explore.
Don't Miss: I enjoyed the cistern. Mykonos, GreeceBeautiful! What I pictured the Greek Isles to be.
Don't Miss: Getting lost in the winding streets. Livorno (Florence & Pisa), ItalyPisa was prettier than I thought. The buildings were beautiful. Florence was my favorite city. I would return for a week to see more.
Don't Miss: The view from across the bridge. Monte Carlo, MonacoIt was very clean. The old part of the city was beautiful. There was not much else to do there. I would not return.
Don't Miss: The ancient part of the city. Naples, ItalyThe city itself was not much. The trash was not pretty. I don;t think I would return unless to visit the Amalfi coast.
Don't Miss: Vesuvius was great. Piraeus (Athens), GreeceOther than the Parthenon I didn't find much else there. The city is large and dirty. I would not return to Athens.
Don't Miss: Parthenon Venice, ItalyI loved everything in Venice. I especially loved Burano. I don't care to spend my days in museums. I love to walk around and feel the energy of the city. One church is like another, so I only look outside.
Don't Miss: Must do the boat ride to Murano and Burano. 2 out of 3 people found this review helpful.

my Baltic cruise experience by
A Traveler from Vancouver , Canada Sailing date: Aug 2010Pros: The tours. Cons: The nightly entertainment The ship was princess cruise and it was really great experience in spite of the ship's size,
which was a big one. They were extremely efficient therefore things moved smoothly. The
ship's itinery was a great one and we really enjoyed every minute of it. Ship Quality
Dining/FoodThe staff were very professional and efficient Stateroom QualityExcellent cleaning crew kept the rooms very clean. Ship Staff Quality
Entertainment & ActivitiesThe nightly entertainment was extremely boring and not worth anybody's time. In fact it was the only part of our cruise we did not enjoy.

Shopping trip by
Joyce D. from Oswego, IL Sailing date: Aug 2009Pros: The ship Cons: All the sales pitches. All the lines to get on and off ship, sometimes as many as 4 lines. Would recommend this cruise to people who want to shop.

Princess Cruise lines by
stephen r from san francisco, ca Sailing date: May 2009Pros: not a lot Cons: the constant sales picthes on the ship I am so glad that this trip was only 2 days, I could not handle being on this boat for a full 7 days, and I cruse a lot. On this trip, I was very dissapointed, the food was all starch, and bread, wow, they must be on a budget. And the most annyoing part were all the sales pitches, everything your invited too, is followed by them trying to sell you stuff, massages, spa pakcages, etc.. why cant they just be nice and offere some real service upon selling everything, this is so annoying, maybe if they were just blunt about it then fine, but to sneak it in everywhere, thats what I hate most. do they really think we are that stupid... Ship Qualitythe weather was cold so it was not a fun atmostphere. Dining/Foodnot bad, but skimpy.... Stateroom Qualitypoor, nothing special about it Ship Staff Qualityeveryone was friendly, and if you buy something more so, but if you dont buy, dont think you will feel special Entertainment & Activitiesboring on this ship 6 out of 9 people found this review helpful.
