Review summary

Best way to get a taste of the Mediterranean countries. Helpful to determine where we would visit again. The ship was beautiful and comfortable. Only two sea days, so visiting the ports can be exhausting. Loved the thermal spa.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Smooth, but could have been smoother if Princess should have sent my husbands Medallion in the mail.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Crown Grill and Gigi’s where excellent. Dinning room: less choices, eventually boring and repetitive. Buffet had tons of tasty choices. They need to up their dinning room experience.
