Yes, I agree that the Princess hotels are usually more expensive, but in Copenhagen they placed us in the Hotel Scandic which was nowhere near twice as much as other hotel choices and was ideally situated. We have enjoyed staying in a couple of Rome’s smaller hotels, but for this trip we will only be staying one night and will have more luggage than we usually carry for our land trips, so the idea of using Princess transfers is appealing. We were just in Rome in October so the only sightseeing that we’re planning on is the Borghese Gallery. Right now we’ve asked our TA for a quote and are looking for thoughts from posters on this board, then we’ll decide. Thanks for responding. I appreciate your thoughts.
