Majestic Princess Review

Additional details
Picked this cruise because we have used Princess before. The ship was new and originally going to places we desired. However, troubles in Turkey saw port cancellations, port triple up and rescheduling.
Eight of the 10 Princess tours we took were quite ok, even for the price. However, although the Amalfi Coast was great the Naples bus tour guide was terrible. Too much extra-sales baggage to cope with. The other poor tour was in Rhodes, which was a fantastic place, where the guide was softly spoken and newish. The Greek tours had nil high level sales pitch as did the Mt. Etna tour.
The front desk staff must have been under pressure since they were far from friendly. The rest of the staff were wonderful. The food was good except the choice of desserts was less than on other ships. The laundromat token dispenser was woeful.

Port Reviews
Rome (Civitavecchia)
Embarkation went well
Kotor
Great guide: If only one visit to Kotor better to stay near the old town in Kotor to explore by yourself after the formal guiding bit.
Mykonos
Nice town but get away from the water as soon as you can to get a feel for the real Mykonos. Also, if berthed, have a look to see if there is a sea bus operating to the town centre before you buy a shuttle ticket since the sea bus is much cheaper. Because there was no port talk we did not know about this.
Santorini
We went of track and moved into an unpleasant area of Thira. Finally found the good bit and enjoyed it. Best to stay closed to the rim of the Caldera.
