Overall we were extremely pleased with this cruise, as was everyone else we spoke with on the ship. Princess delivers a quality experience with very good food, excellent entertainment and a good value and absolutely no one I spoke with had any complaints.

Embarkation for our Greek Isles and Eastern Mediterranean was in Venice, Italy. We booked our air through Princess, and were pleased that the flights we were given flights involved only one connection in each direction. Arriving early in the morning in Venice we were bused over to the ship and had to wait two hours in a lounge before boarding, as it was too early to get on. Being Platinum status on Princess, we were in the first group to board, and we went directly to our cabin to freshen up and then up to the Horizon Court for a buffet lunch.

Our cabin, an outside cabin with verandah on Aloha Deck #12 was very nice and clean. There was plenty of storage and it was efficiently laid out, but the bathroom was quite small, especially the shower stall. We loved the balcony and this was definitely an itinerary where a balcony is enjoyed, well worth the money and was used each evening as you pull away from one great port after another! Read more
