The Royal Princess is a wonderful ship for the European itineries. Not only are all cabins OUTSIDE, but the ship usually does not have to
tender into most ports. The ship is well laid out with ample elevators to handle the 1,600passengers Activities are geared toward the
educational. With excellent lectures preparing passengers for the ports of call. The 2 days in St. Petersburg were wonderful. (ample time
to see the city) Shore excursions were well organized and most of the guides spoke fair English. Age group on board was 40-75yrs. Many
Canadians and English passengers, as special prices are offered from Dover. Princess Cruise lines has since substituted Gadansk Poland
for a stop in Amsterdam, which I think in in keeping with the theme of the cruise The stop in Tallin Estonia was a highlight. What a wonderful
city!

One of the most impressive things about the ship is the embarkation and disembarkation procedures. The smoothness and organization
was OUTSTANDING. Groups and individuals all felt well treated and relaxed. Princess provides a fine product. Watch for specials, however
if you have already booked, ask your travel agent to continue to monitor your cruise, as the price could go down for your sailing. If it does,
you are entitled to the reduction!
