Royal Princess Cruise from Venice to Istanbul
If you’re a long time reader, then you know my preference for small ship cruising. When Princess Cruises invited me to experience the Royal Princess from Venice to Istanbul, I thought it was only fair to learn about large ship cruising.
This was one-half of a Royal Princess Mediterranean cruise. When my group stepped off the ship, another group joined for their taste of cruising Princess-style.

The rules for visiting this lovely Italian city are constantly changing due to effects of too many tourists and environmental issues.
