Review summary

Great stops. Ponta Delgado, Azores we found charming and easy to walk around if you don't tour. Princess staff were very efficient, friendly, and very helpful. The greatest drag we felt was the overall quality of the food.

Barcelona, Spain

Our favourite. So much to see and do. Easy walking in the Gothic quarter; the market off La Rambla frenetic and a must see. Great people, good food for value price. Tremendous architecture.

A hidden jewel. Didn't think it would be so wonderful. Took a private tour via cab. Went to Budva - medieval town. Tour for two with excellent guide - $100 euro for two. Great value we thought.

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

History and buildings worth the visit. We leaned the hard way when having lunch to ask for all charges before ordering and an itemized bill. Watch around the Square.
