Golden Princess

12 Night Greek Isles (Venice To Rome)

Sail date: June 15, 2006

Ship: Golden Princess

Cabin type: Balcony

Reviewed: 14 years ago

Review summary

The ship was outstanding. There are many amenities and activities. The staff and crew work hard to make everyone welcome and happy. The food is good but not great. The "always available" menu is very good for hard to please eaters.

Ports of call

Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey

5 out of 5
The vendors are very determined and persistant. The trip to Ephesus is a must for Bible lovers. St Johns' Church and Motjher Mary's house are wonderful side trips. Do not engage with street vendors at the stops. The tour of the carpet makers should be optional. Visitors must watch and be very careful of exchaniging money. When purchasing any item many vendors will attempt to provide change in Turkish currency instead of Euros.

Dubrovnik, Croatia

Must see is St Markis Square and church; taking a godala ride, enjoying the food and wine

Katakolon (Olympia), Greece

5 out of 5
A visit to the town is wonderful; the beaches are great

Santorini, Greece

3 out of 5
Santorini is a wonderfu panaramaic vies and outstanding coastal drive. The cable car is slow and long lines are a good reason not to stop at the shopping areas. It took us 1 hour and 45 minutes to get back to the ship after entering the cable car line in the shopping village.

Corfu, Greece

3 out of 5
The best of Corfu tour was very poor and visiters can do better on their own

Piraeus (Athens), Greece

5 out of 5
Must see the Olympic village and parthanon
