Sydney to Nth QLD September 17th 10 days
We took my wife’s father on this cruise - and he was in good company. This was the oldest crowd we had ever seen on a ship. Lots of walkers, scooters, slow moving folk so don’t be in a rush.
The vessel size and the ports visited meant all but 1 were disembarked/embarked by tender. Combined with the age profile of the guests and some appalling organisation by Princess made this experience really poor.
This is a suite mid/aft on Riviera deck (14). The location was quiet away from lift lobby etc. On entering the room it had a dank wet smell - which was eventually resolved (AC problem). We have now traveled in 3 Princess suites (Alaska, NZ and this journey to Nth QLD) and this one is pretty much like the others in its layout - we love them. The quality of furnishings and layout of the bathroom is great. My only criticism is the size of the balcony - it is weirdly narrow - 1.2m at its widest point. You had to be quite nimble on your feet to go past table and chairs to move around. If this is the future for Princess then it’s very disappointing. Majestic Princess is a disappointment for other reasons however on the basis of the balcony size alone we will never travel on this ship again.
