A slight variation to the usual reviews, if we may. The following submission is almost a complete copy of that submitted to Princess Cruises following our return on 'Sun Princess' Singapore-Fremantle.

Cruise was enjoyable, but ships currently servicing Australian ports really need replacing! They are far to old now - those dry dock cosmetic makeovers/refits cannot hide the massive internal problems besetting these ships. Continual problems with plumbing, air-conditioning, elevators, water leaks, in-cabin refrigerators, laundry facilities, etc were reported by fellow guests throughout our cruise!
