Review summary

Let me just say that we were sold port of calls Santorini, Ephesus, Malta, Messina, Naples, and we got Santorini, Kotor, Corfu, half of Messina, Elba. The only stop replacement explained was Ephesus, and the reason given was instability in the region.

Other than that, the entertainment was mediocre, the rooms very small (need to reserve a deluxe balcony in order to get a tiny sofa to sit on). Food was good in the specialty restaurants, and just OK in the main restaurants.

Overall, I would not recommend this cruise.

I'm happy that Carnival Cruise Lines, LLC, has amazing capable captains for all of its cruise lines of which, Princess is one. Their insurance companies make the call when there is trouble abroad. Our safety comes first. Hope you still had a great time 😀

Would you rather be shot or kidnapped look what happen to the ship this year the captain decided to start the cruise instead of staying in port till the storm passed you booked a professional cruise rely on the crews decisions

Cruise contract does not include guarantee of ports. Just room and food. Change happens on every cruise line from time to time. So glad you could have a wonderful time anyway.
