This review is relevant to the 3 week Back2Back2Back2 Barcelona 3rd Sept to Rome 24th Sept.

We chose this cruise mainly due to the port of Malta being included. We have cruised the Med before with Princess and this cruise included many ports that we had not visited before. We were bitterly disappointed when the Port of Malta was taken off and two other ports added twice. Istanbul and Ephesus were taken off because of the unrest in that area which we understood and always expected to happen. The final itinerary was posted ONLY 10 days from the Barcelona departure and 2 day before we left home on our journey. We feel that Princess always knew that the ports in Turkey were off the itinerary and they would have had alternative ports already confirmed well before they released them to their paying passengers.

We would have cancelled the last 7 days of this cruise from Athens to Rome but with no time before we left to join the cruise Princess made this impossible. Princess needs to be more transparent and up front with their communication. This cruise was very expensive and took years of saving to get to go to all the ports that were advertised, only to have changes at the last minute i.e. Malta being removed and Corfu and Kotor being added twice.
