Review summary
It's been awhile - I'm writing this years after the fact - but we loved every single bit about the cruise, the ship and the ports of call (those that we actually stopped at). Venice - always a treat - Monte Negro (a first for us) and Malta - spectacular.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Back in those days the buffets were still excellent and the MDR fantastic. If you weren't blown away by the menu you could order basically anything else you wanted.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
I used the spa and gym a lot this trip. My wife indulged in her favorite frangipani treatments. Enjoyed culinary demonstrations and even their "midnight" buffets and dance parties.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Fabulous entertainment.
Children's Programs
3 out of 5
Don't remember being bothered by other people's kids.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
The service was incredible - back then we still passed out tip envelopes at the end of the cruise.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The Pacific Princess was at the top of her game.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Room was fine - cabin steward was excellent.
Ship tip
It's been a while (November of 2012) but we absolutely loved this ship and everything about her.
Book early if you can - and get a tour of the Hypogeum incredibly ancient Neolithic bronze-age temple (they only allow a few visitors per month). Failing that - hop on hop off bus will get you a lot for a little.
This was just for disembarkation and a bus ride to the airport - short of time - rush hour traffic and hectic. Not the best end to an otherwise great trip.
