This was cruise number 15 with princess, although the first on Caribbean Princess. Embarkation was very quick. Looking at some of the previous reviews we were concerned that the ship was going to be tired but that was not the case. It was surprisingly in good shape the cabin and public areas were very clean.

Our cabin steward was first class did everything that was expected and never intrusive. We would go to breakfast and the cabin was always done by the time we returned.

We chose this cruise for its itinerary. We did the same cruise on P&O the previous year and enjoyed it so much we decided to do it again and this particular cruise was going to Bruges and Tallin, two ports we had never been. It did not disappoint the weather was perfect for the best part. We organized our own trip in St Petersburg using an independent cruise excursion company called cruising excursions. The trip was amazing visiting all the sites including the Hermitage for half the price as being offered by Princess. We would highly recommend them and in fact have booked up a number of other trips when on our next cruise. Read more
