We chose this cruise so we could experience European life and its history. We were not disappointed, as we saw many historic sites and would like to do another cruise to this part of the world. Our overall experience, on and off ship, was incredible. The newer ship was a welcome upgrade from the previous Princess ships we have experienced, and though being relatively new, was familiar with our past Princess ships.. Embarking and disembarking were smooth and trouble free, a far cry from years past. Our cabin steward was unseen, but our cabin was always clean, which means he was doing a fantastic job. The shows on board were good, typical of our past experiences with Princess.
