I do not agree with that at all. There have been cutbacks on all the major lines but to say Princess is a much better experience than RCI, I think, is totally false. I've been on enough cruises between those 2 lines that I'd rate service exactly the same between RCI and Princess.

I second that as well. I would say service on both Princess and RCI are about the same. With that being said, the I thought the main dining room and buffet food on RCI was slightly better that Princess, while the specialty restaurants on RCI are much better. The only exception to this was the pizza. Princess offers much better pizza, where as Papa Johns puts the pizza served on RCI to shame.

When you get off the ship, there is a shuttle bus option which will take you into the city and will bring you back to the ship (the pick up location is in the same place they drop you). The price is 5 Euros per person round trip and it is much cheaper than taxi.

You will be able to walk to all the downtown points of interest.

If you want to see the caves or some of the near by castles, you have to either to ship excursions or hire one in the city.

By the way, taking the trains and buying tickets and finding platforms are very easy. Everything is well labeled and the vending machines for the tickets have an English options.

For Pisa and Florence, the train station is a 20 minute walk. From there you can go to Pisa. It will take about an hour. From Pisa you can take the train to Florence. That will also take an hour.

I have to admit, it is a bit rushed. We ended up seeing a few sites and spending 15 minutes in each.

Honestly, there isn't much to Pisa. It's just the tower and the church next to it. Florence on the other hand is beautiful. So many places and sites to see.

We did the ports on our own. Barcelona was easy since we arrived the day before. Even the rest of the ports, were pretty straight forward.

Just refresh this post. I suppose the ship has now sailed and I hope to see a few photos and videos. Thanks in advance.

I was wondering if you would consider posting a few photos of the ship. This would be helpful in our decision making process in selecting a ship for future cruise. Thank you.
