We just returned from a 14 day cruise around New Zealand on the Sea Princess. This was our 13th cruise with Princess so are familiar with many of the ships and protocols.
We had a wonderful time with mostly positive things to comment on. The Seas were very rough which caused us to miss the port of Dunedin and to miss going to the Fiords. Although this was dissapointing we appreciated the captain giving us very frequent updates on the storm, the weather conditions and what to expect. He seemed to very much have our safety in mind and encouraged us all to "pop a pill" to help with the sea sickness.
The entertainment was the best we had experienced on a Princess ship with a huge variety. We loved the band Accent who could play any type of music.
Horrible small room but we don't spend any time in our room which is why we get a cheap interior. It was fine but the smallest interior we have experienced. Had to crawl into the bed from the end! One day will splurge on a balcony!
