Princess has now taken cost cutting to a whole new level.

Only PLASTIC picnic plates, mugs and tumblers are provided in the buffet, Horizon Court. This really is unacceptable. Huge fares are still being charged and, with these changes, they shouldn’t be. I don’t eat off plastic at home when I’m not paying a huge fare.

The food here is also extremely boring. Exactly the same ingredients on the salad bar were provided every single day, never changed. The “fresh” fruit was sliced and floating in some sort of liquid. Most of the hot food was sitting in fat of one sort or another. The general atmosphere in this area is like feeding time at the zoo. The service, however, is excellent.

Port Reviews

Honolulu

Shopping at the Ala Moana Centre is excellent with a huge variety of shops.

Maui

Lahaina is delightful especially the Vladimir Kush Art Gallery whose art is extraordinary

Hilo

Lots to see and do. Very pleasant place.

Kona (Kailua Bay)

Again, very pleasant place at which to stop.

Kauai

Beautiful place and lots to see.

Tahiti (Papeete)

Drove around the island and stopped a quite a few nice places but it's not a "must see" destination.

Moorea

Not very well organised. First in boarded the bus not matter what time you'd booked. The tour was informative and stopped at a couple of look-outs and a pearl shop.

Bora Bora

Le Truck is very comfortable, the guide was very informative and stopped at some very interesting places.

Auckland

Lots to do if you like cities and haven't been here previously.
