Review summary
Mykonos was splendid - absolutely everything I thought it would be. The views were stunning and the people friendly. That can be said of every port, really.
One unexpected delightful surprise was the view coming into Kotor - I didn't know about the fjords - what amazing beauty. Probably the best pictures of the entire trip. As we were pulling in, Captn Bob said we we didn't have anything to do for a couple hours he'd recommend we go out on deck to enjoy the views - best advice ever!
The disappointment (and reason for less than 5 stars) was the ship - the food was not up to past Princess standards and the spa was in too public location. The new layout of the Horizon buffet also negatively impacted the trip - it is hard to navigate. The Lotus Spa should be in a more secluded area - you have to walk through it to get to passenger services, tour desk and other places. It made for an uncomfortable visit rather than a relaxing visit - so much I didn't go as many times as I planned.
Ship staff was great - as usual.

Ship tip
Use laundry services when others are busy so you won't wait as long. Try walking up or down a deck if they're busy on yours. There were 3 people waiting on my deck but down just 1 level I was able to get right in.
