The 12-day Cruise we took covered 5 countries and 10 ports in the Mediterranean. It would have been perfect if they had Santorini (one of my 'must see' places) instead of Mykonos as a stop.

There were about 10 - 15 optional shore tours for every port. We went on a tour every day except in Barcelona and Venice where we had our own itineraries. Fortunately for us, we booked the tours early, on-line, as they were mostly sold out a day or two before each tour.
If you go on a Princess cruise, you MUST take the shore tours. They are very well organised in partnership with strong local tour partners and are great value for money.
