Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The food in the dining room was the same at the buffet--average and repetitive. Even frequent princess cruisers felt the food was sub-par for Princess lines.

Istanbul, Turkey

It was Ramadan and the grand bazaar was closed. This may have added to the huge crowds that lessened the enjoyment of this clean, beautiful exotic city.

Piraeus (Athens), Greece

5 out of 5

The city of Athens was beautiful in addition to the Acropolis. The shopping was the best of the trip.

Naples, Italy

5 out of 5

Take a water shuttle to Sorrento. Not much to see in Naples itself. Consider the hot weather before opting for more ruins in Pompei.

I enjoyed this port more than Istanbul. Try the turkish tea--it is great.

There is no place on earth quite like Venice. I wouldn't have missed it. Best prices for inexpensive souvenir gifts.

Don't Miss: Get off the Grand canal with diesel fumes of the boats. Stay and play on the small canal quiet areas and go into every church. The art is fabulous.

Pros: The itenerary is excellent, beds very comfortable, food average

Cons: The outdoor movie screen played so loudly it ruined the entire deck and pool area day and night
