We chose this cruise primarily because of the destinations, but also because the Pacific Princess is a "Small Ship". This cruise had a total passenger load of 700 which meant that you could actually meet other passengers. Entertainment was quite good with some diversity. We always had the feeling that the crew acted as a team and enjoyed their work. We did miss two ports due to weather, but the bridge crew were honest and up front as to the reasons and different entertainment options were made available.

Embarcation and dis embarcation were very efficient. We were on board the ship less than 30 minutes after we arrived at the terminal. The busses were available on our arrival in Rome port and in less than two hours we were at the airport. They even had staff at the airport to meet our bus and lend assistance if needed. All in all a great cruise.
