Where do I start....The Golden Princess - this was no golden Princess more like and old battle Axe that has had one too many aggressive bogan boyfriends, this boat was jaded, battered, bruised, with sagging jowls and struggling just to keep its eyes open. The boat just barely limped along to each port - like an old busted up, rusted, torn leather seats 1970 Ford Cortina.

Embarking was delayed by 4 hours and we were left standing in the heat at Port Melbourne Docks with a shortage of water, no seating and confusion on the faces of the old ladies from the nursing home managing the embarkation process.

The Ship...no I mean the old leaking boat was a disgrace.

Cabin Review

Balcony

Our room was dirty, with filth all throughout our room. The mattress had wire protruding from the sides and urine stains on the mattress ticking/fabric, the furniture in the room was broken, the Toilet was broken, dirty underwear with blood stains left under the bed, the room bar fridge wasn't working and had mould growing in it, the floor carpet was worn with holes in it that caused you to trip - they fixed that up by putting gaffer tape over the carpet holes.
