Review summary

Very disappointed. Spent most of cruise at sea. I know weather an issue but looking back on other cruises with this ship the captain seems to cancel quite a few ports. Hmm. Other ships docked where he said we couldn't. 20 FCC not an adequate compensation as dont intend to go on Princess cruise next year.

Beautiful room. Shame about lump in middle of bed! Lumpy duvet too. Bath a bonus but hard to get in and out of. Soaps out of reach too. Decor lovely.

Trips expensive. Ours was supposed to include a picnic lunch. This consisted of a bagel spready cheese and a yogurt! Then we stopped at a village and had a fish cake. We then walked on and tour guide took us to a box full of dried fish. She bashed it on a rock with a hammer then psssed it round. Made me laugh at least
