Completed a 16 day cruise aboard the Sea Princess on October 26. The ports were just fine and the food on board was very good. The overall service on the ship was just average. The ship itself is showing its wear and tear with buckets located in various places around the ship to catch leaks from the ceilings. This occurred almost every day in different locations around the ship. In addition, there was a constant musty smell in our washroom that no one on board was able to deal with.

The biggest issue is the pricing. We discovered that residents of Australia and New Zealand paid anywhere from 30 to 60% less for the same accomodation as people from North America. When we returned, I spoke with the head office in California and was told that they have regional pricing and they didn't see any issue with it. It certainly seems unfair to penalize someone who is travelling 25 hours by air to board a ship and pay a premium to do so.
