This was my 4th Princess cruise, Golden. There is no need to rush now to get to Circular Quay to board the ship early, just get there around lunchtime is ideal and before lunch service finishes. Boarding arrangements have changed.
Our room attendant provided great service, we gave him a tip at the end of the cruise.
Our room number was changed to a window and next to this room was electrical circuits and some passengers on their 2nd trip had a balcony for the same price of a no window room - totally unfair.
Good service, decor acceptable, but some areas needed updating.
The location is great. No need to take taxi from Sydney to Circular Quay, the train system from airport to Circular Quay is the best form of transport and cost.
Melbourne port is a nightmare.
