Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Grand Princess Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

Grand Princess Eastern Med Oct 17th-Oct 28h First a couple notes. I will try not to repeat what has been said before in prior reviews and concentrate on only those things that have not been mentioned or are new. My wife and I are reasonably seasoned travellers and don't tend to take many excursions, preferring to do many ports on our own. For this reason, most of the notes on ports of call ...

After much research and great doubts on the size of the Grand Princess, we decided to book their 12 night Med Cruise as it included all of the ports we wanted to see (Rome, Monte Carlo, Livorno, Naples, Santorini, Kusadasi, Mykonos, Athens, Olympia, Corfu and Venice). I planned 3 days pre-cruise in Rome, 2 post-cruise in Venice and 2 in Paris before flying home. We left LAX on a direct ...

To begin with there were five cities, four countries, three historical eras, two continents, and one ship - the Grand Princess. This cruise began Venice, a leading renaissance era city, visited the heartlands of Greek history, and concluded in Naples and Rome - central to Roman culture. Included in the tour were Italy, Croatia, Greece, and Turkey, located in Europe and Asia. Ports of call included ...

After doing a lovely land trip of France and Italy the year before we seriously considered canceling this cruise, but thought logistically, it would just be too hard to cover the territory by land. We were right ! We flew Vancouver to London on Air Canada non stop which was lovely and even better was we were upgraded to business class. We very easily navigated our way with luggage on the ...

This was my and my husband's second cruise on the Grand Princess, having done he Norwegian Fjords cruise in July 2007. We were very pleased with the food, service and facilities last year, but I can say with complete honesty that Grand Princess had actually made some real improvements this year! We took my parents and sister and her friend with us this year - and it was their very first ...

I had always wanted to go on a cruise to the Greek Islands and finally my wife and I decided to celebrate our anniversary by taking this 12 day cruise from Venice to Rome aboard the Grand Princess. We flew to Venice two days early to stay in one of our favorite cities. It was great to roam around Venice and get over jet lag before boarding the ship. EMBARKATION Getting to the port in Venice is ...

First, a little background. This cruise was meant to be the cruise of a lifetime. It was the most expensive cruise I have ever taken, and was a great disappointment in several ways, although my friend and I had a great time. This was my fourteenth cruise, first on Princess. I have cruised four times on Royal Caribbean, three each on HAL and Celebrity. Once each on Carnival and NCL. The chances I ...

This was our first cruise and we had no real idea of what to expect. To say that the cruise surpassed our expectations is an understatement. We travelled with our son who had a "drop down" bed in our room. The room itself was far more spacious than we had imagined - the large 10ft x 10ft balcony adding to the impression of space. Food was generally excellent and the service was uniformly cheerful, ...

In order to make this as user friendly as possible, Ill break it down by category. You may pick and choose as you please. Ive tried to give an objective personal view of our trip. There were some great things, and some things that could have been better. Just a caveat&these are my opinions only and Im sure others have a different perspective. Any negatives we experienced were far outweighed ...

This was not only our first cruise but also our honeymoon so expectations were high as a lot of people have sung high praises for the Princess cruise line (P&O sister Company, part of the Carnival group.) We started the trip to join our ship on the 3rd July 2006 at Heathrow to meet our chartered flight of Qantas. Our opinion of the flight was satisfactory. We arrived at Venice for embarkation ...
