We did a cruise of the Baltic on Princess a year ago, and it was okay. Nothing outstandingly great or outstandingly poor. The price was right though, and it got us to and from St. Petersberg, which was the whole point of the trip. I don't think I'd go out of my way to use them again, but I wouldn't necessarily avoid Princess either if one of their ships was going where I wanted to go at a price that was reasonable.
