This was my third Princess Cruise and my fifth cruise. Booking fine, embarkation fine except for 2 hours sitting In Sydney Airport awaiting a Princess bus to Circular Quay after an early rise to drive one hour than fly from Brisbane.
Food was fine, excursion booking were done online prior but there was a problem booking two people's tours, one must do each under their own name otherwise the whole $'s are charged to the one account, no problem solving this problem once it was discovered.
My account got 'locked' due to some transposition of a date on my credit card, my input would not have accepted had it have been incorrect. Embarrassingly, I was unable to charge even a drink until after a second visit to the customer counter!
Mini Suite was great, loved the morning light and the ability top get out on the balcony. We had previously only had inside cabins.
