Princess Cruise is our cruise line of choice but we had low expectations of the Sea Princess from the reviews we had read on line. The Sea Princess is a lovely ship and the balcony staterooms feel plenty big with great storage. We loved the privacy of the balcony that you do not find on the newer ships. The smaller ship of 1,900 passenger vs. over 3,000 passengers was a welcome change. We were also leery of so many days at sea with this itinerary but it was FABULOUS! A perfect combination of adventure and relaxation!! We actually started looked forward to the days at sea. Although we are only 60 and the crowd was by far older it was not an issue for us. The 28 Night Round Australia was a perfect way to see so much of Australia. We thoroughly enjoyed going to Tasmania and Hobart was amazing. Do not miss Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary --it was a highlight for all six in our party. If you love to cruise, want to see lots of Australia this is the way to do it. We also wished like so many others on this trip we did the New Zealand 12 Night Cruise before hoping on board the 28 Night Round Australia.
