We booked this because a) we had been to none of the ports (Amsterdam, LeHarve, Vego, Lisbon, Azores) b) it got us out of the Florida heat in September c) it ended in Florida (one-way air) d) price was right.

We're Platinum with Princess. This is perhaps our 15th cruise? We've also sailed with other lines. Here's what we thought:

Plusses: We loved the ports. The ship's tours were excellent and especially well organized. We did a couple on our own. The trip to the Landing Beaches had to be changed because American Cemetary was closed. The tour operator and bus driver still drove to the sight to make sure--Princess refunded without our asking 1/2 back.

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin BE

It was fine. People have said things about how small the balconies are. Didn't bother us. They were fine. Lots of storage place. Lighting way better than on other cruises we've taken. I thought the beds were great. Fluffy pillows. Towels old.

Port Reviews

Le Havre

Even thought the American Cemetary was closed the guide made this a first-rate experience.

Lisbon

Just loved Lisbon. We walked from the ship to the Tower. Should have gone to the Central City but didn't take the time.
