We booked this cruise because we have been wanting to go to New Zealand and also wanted to try a cruise so it covered both wishes. We have land travelled extensively in Australia and this was the next step. Princess Cruises are easy to work with in the booking process and the on board service is amazing. We could do absolutely nothing if we wanted to but could be totally entertained with a great variety of acts,bands,shows,demonstrations,activities,pools and the list goes on. The food was amazing, there was a huge range of restaurants With all food tastes covered even the fussiest person could find plenty of choice from pizza to the steak house, buffet dining to silver service. The wait staff were friendly fast professional and nothing was too much trouble. Our cabin was beautiful and well serviced by a steward who was very keen to please and also nothing was too much trouble for him. The only negatives for me were the coffee was not nice and there was a bit too much product pushing on board for my liking,although a keen shopper might not agree with me on this.
