My experience on the Sun Princess Dec 8th - Dec 21st had good moments and bad moments
I was on a cruise from Auckland to Auckland and I got onto the ship thinking I was getting on the ship at the 'beginning' of a cruise and getting off at the 'end' of a cruise. It wasn't until I was on the ship and noticed that my cruise card had the wrong disembarkation date on it that I discovered that I was technically on bits of two different cruises. This is something that Princess could have let the Auckland passengers in on (there were 300 of us) before we got on the ship - as most of the Aucklanders that got on were under the same impression as I was - I still would have done the cruise but it would have been better to know as I would have arrived at the terminal earlier to get onto the ship earlier.
Firstly the weather was fantastic and the crossing of the Tasman - there and back - was the smoothest trips I have ever had and I have crossed the Tasman 8 times
First time in an Inside cabin - wouldn't do it again - but cabin was ok sized, shower tiny
