My husband and I wanted to go to Norway, and the price was affordable for us. The staff was very nice, and courteous. The ship was awful. If I could rate this cruise a 2 1/2, I would. We missed one port due to someone getting ill, but that could happen to anyone. Our carpet had stains, the toilet plugged up 3 times, the food bland...In fact the food seemed redundant. At times, the chicken was tough and dry. We may choose another cruise with Princess again in the future, however we are going to explore other options. Embarking was a breeze, disembarking was painless. The cruise was very smooth, and we were informed via Captain, as needed. One of the tender's exhaust fumes was disgusting, not sure if that is why my allergies were ignited or not. I would not go on this ship again, unless issues were addressed.
