This was my 51st Cruise!!!!!!!! Love Cruisin'. Been on Princess many times and do love it (but other lines have more new ships). So because I liked the itinerary...I decided to try Caribbean Princess (a small ship). It only has 600+ passengers. (the smallest ship I've ever been on). I loved it! It is older..expect that. But everything is so accessible.

My favs are formal night (everyone cleans up nicely for formal night). I personally like a little "bling" now and then. I spent two nights in a hotel in Rome (my travel companion had never been to the Vatican). She was mesmerized by the Vatican Museum (as am I every time I return there). Embarked in Civitevechia.

My favorite port is Rhodes. Love all the Greek Islands I've been to: Hydra, Patmos, Somos, Santorini, Mykonos, Crete, etc. But Rhodes is my favorite. It offers great history, and is tremendously clean and inviting! Great food there in the Old Town. Read more
