Chose this cruise because we wanted to explore Japan and these dates suited work commitments.
Diamond shone, food was fabulous in the MDR and the ship was sparkling clean.
Entertainment was the usual Princess offering with the need to grab a seat in the theatre 30 minutes early for the first show.
We were disappointed to have a couple of excursions cancelled due to lack of interest (we ...
We arrived in Kobe the day before the cruise and spent the night at the Okura Kobe hotel down by the waterfront area. An excellent hotel with unusually large rooms for Japan and a mixed Japanese/International breakfast. Our room had a view of the port and the cruise terminal from the 26th floor and also the exceptional Japanese toilet, which we wanted to take home! There was also a Starbucks on ...
Chose this ship because it sailed to ports in and around Japan that I wanted to visit.
Getting around in Japan is easy, we traveled from Kyoto on the day of the cruise by rail, you can take the shinkansen directly to Kobe or take a slightly slower train via Osaka which is what we did. Get of the train one station before Kobe and there is a tram which takes you directly to the ship, the tram ...
We chose this cruise because of the itinerary which was great and have travelled with princess a few times before.This cruise came up to our expectations which was good. The cruise was a back to Back cruise so the second weeks entertainment was virtually a repeat of the first week but this was not a problem as we saw the shows when it suited us which was good. The ports of call were great. The ...
Like the itinerary with lots of Sea days to rest and recharge. Also got to see Darwin Australia, Kaohsiung(Taiwan) besides the usual Sydney, Brisbane, Singapore, Phu My(Vietnam) and Hong Kong.
Ship was big, and nice. Room was a mini suite(upgraded from a premium balcony), very comfortable, Excellent room service. Sea was calm until South China sea.
Mostly Australian on the ship with lots ...
This was my second repositioning cruise on the Majestc. The first one was from Shanghai to Sydney in Aug/Sep 2018.
Cabin:
On this current occasion I traveled with friends (a couple). We had adjacent balcony cabins on deck 14. We chose this cruise because we wanted a cruise that terminated in Hong Kong.
My cabin was comfortable except for the very soft pillows that Princess now has. ...
This was not our first choice itinerary, but were never cleared from the waitlist on a Circle Japan cruise, so opted for this since it fit our schedule and was during the cherry blossom season. Ship could use some sprucing up and showed signs of age, surprising for Princess. My top gripes were the mediocre food in the dining room and Sabatini's and the so-so entertainment and onboard activities, ...
I have a disabled adult daughter who had studied Japanese at the U of Illinois and ever since had wanted to visit Japan. I chose a cruise as I knew the bathroom facilities in the accessible cabins would fit her needs. I took a chance and did 4 nights in Tokyo first and this worked out very well. I used a company, Inside Japan, and highly recommend them.
This was my 14th Princess cruise. My ...
My husband and I chose this cruise since it went to Australia, Singapore and Hong Kong. We are Princess Platinum Cruisers in our late 50's/early 60's and American. The average age for the majority of our fellow cruisers was 68+ and Australian. Prior to the cruise we spent 4 days in Singapore at the Swissotel The Stamford, and 5 days at the Holiday Inn Old Sydney, Post cruise we stayed 3 days ...
New ship and very very big. Great ship...Ports of call were interesting, should have been longer at Singapore and Vietnam, so much to see and do.
Food menu was very disappointing in the Lido bar. Very repetitive and boring.
Disappointed with photo deals....no package offered...only digital copies promoted....not good!
Ping pong tables were unsuitably positioned, in the wind rain and ...
