Comments

This cruise was a last minute offering by one of the agencies that we have used in the past. The offer included 2 nights in Venice at the Regina Europa
Hotel. This was a great start to our cruise. The Pacific Princess is the smallest ship on which we have cruised, but there were no obvious disadvantages.
The cabins are small and somewhat utilitarian, but are kept spotlessly clean, as is the entire ship. Food in the dining room is very good with an excellent
variety. After the marvellous breads in Venice, we were a little disappointed with the baked items. The lido buffet , in our opinion, attempts too much with a
very limited facility. Foods are brought up in an elevator from the main galley, and seemed often to suffer in the process. The internatonal lunch buffet was
very good, items being served by crew members from their respective countries. Service on board was exceptional. We have sailed twice on Crystal
Cruises and, as far as we are concerned, Princess surpassed them. This was a very busy cruise, with long days in port. We spent over $1,000 on shore
excursions, and did not take one in every port. However, since we were in Egypt 10 days after the tragedy at Luxor, we felt much more at ease using the
planned trips rather than venturing out on our own. Overall we were very pleased with Princess and will sail again with this line.
