Review summary

Just returned home from the ten day Med cruise a board the Royal Princess. It was our first cruise so we don't have anything to compare it with. But the service was excellent and the crew always helpful. The ports were fun and interesting, especially Dubrovnik and Corfu. Good food on the ship and on shore. We did not do any of the company excursions but simply did our own thing on shore. This ship has set the bar high if we cruise again.

You might check your sailing route and ask for a cabin that's facing the shore as much as possible. Onay complaint the bathroom is very tight, but functional. We were told by friends to pay the extra and get a sea view they were very right.

Ports of call

Naples, Italy

For us it was more about Pompeii which was stunning.

Messina, Sicily

Much that you would want to see is close to the port. We took the little train tour from the square.

Dubrovnik, Croatia

Beautiful old city. However where this ship docks is about three Km from old town., fantastic port.

shogwood We will probably cruise again. We have been independent travelers for years and have planned our own trips. However the great service and the ability to wake up in a new place each day is very appealing. Hope you have a great cruise.
