Eh... it was ok. Would not recommend it for seeing the sites. Limited time to see Europe and no time to enjoy cruise amenities. This staff on princess was ok. Did not live up to my expectations.
Sun Princess Cruise Review to Europe - Western Mediterranean
Don't take it. Do something else. This is not a good way to tour Europe.
Embarkation

Ok - nothing great nothing bad
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
2 out of 5
Food was poor but I am pretty picky so didn't expect much and got what I expected. If you like tasteless cruise food then you won't mind. If you are foodie or picky like me expect to lose weight.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
The special amenities were closed the entire trip. It was too cold for the pool. Fitness center was packed day of sea. So ok but not great.
Entertainment
2 out of 5
They get two stars because they had one good guy who did a juggling comedy act. The rest of the acts were the worst and the special overpriced magic show as a total sham rip off.
Children's Programs
1 out of 5
Not applicable... I didn't bring children. There were not a lot of kids on the cruise which made it more pleasant
Service and Staff
3 out of 5
They were ok. Last Princess Cruise in Alaska the service was over and above so the mediocre experience on this cruise was lackluster after that and a let down but they were adequate.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
It was a typical cruise and clean.
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
It was clean, small as you would expect for a cruise even though a suite. balcony was worthless. Nothing to rave about but adequate.
Ship tip
Don't do it. If you want to see Europe skip the cruise and take a land tour.
We did an excursion through the boat which was only eh and overpriced. But in the morning walked off the boat and got a guy who gave us a great tour up the mountain. Don't waste money on cruise tour.
This is the worst city I have every been too. The Cruise excursion was over priced and more like a torture session than a tour. I will never ever go to this city. HORRIBLE all around. Why the French are so snotty who knows. This was dumpy graffiti filled city that gave the bronx a run for its money. Stay away. Deserves minus 100 stars.
Rome is rome. Lots to do but dirty. We stayed extra. If you have never been a couple days here are worth it. The food is so overrated. No better than the average run of the mill Italian restaurants in any large city in the US. Stanley Tucci is lying with his it's so delicious with every mouthful. I didn't have the same experience at all.. Just eh for the food.
Try doing a land tour to all those places for the price of a cruise though. A cruise lets you see which places you’d like to go back to and which ones you’d never visit again. Maybe you should avoid cruises that go to France though seeing as you clearly hate the French!
