We saw this was available and matched up with our planned cruise so booked on the spur of the moment. We managed to get the same cabin however we were upgraded to a mini suite at the last minute for this short time. Getting onto the ship was easy in Sydney, the train takes you directly from the airport to Circular Quay where the ship docks. Smooth boarding. COVID safe, masks inside at all times unless eating, supervised hand washing station outside the buffet. The mini suite was great, the shower is over the bath though which would be a problem if you have mobility issues. Lovely dinner in the main dining room and excellent speciality dining. The internet worked well and the new App is handy.

Impressively Princess has changed practices to reduce waste. There are no single sachets of jams, sugar etc, the shower gel etc is in refillable pump dispensers, the buffet has pre served bowls of fruit and salads.

This was a great start to our holiday.
