weather did us a great favour with winds only reaching 25mph and the ship is so large nothing but a ripple was felt under foot.The staff were nothing but courteous at every level The idea of no cash needed on any transaction while on board made it simple and easy Our room was a balcony on the 15th floor the staff there were beyond helpful visiting our room at least 3 times a day with info ...
Embarking on this cruise I was surprised there was no covid screening requested or available prior to embarkation. Given the majority of passengers were seniors and there were 3500 people sharing what amounted to a sealed tin can, I found this a little odd.
After 7 days our cruise turned to rubbish: My wife contracted covid and was isolated to our room. Despite sharing the same room but ...
Check-In
When arriving at the terminal in Sydney it was just under 30deg.C and we couldn't believe the length of the queue. Once inside the terminal (and in the shade), we were faced with further massive queues. Eventually collected our medallions and were ready to join another massive queue.
Cabin (Stateroom)
Very clean and looked after by the excellent Fernando.
Ship
Very well ...
We have traveled on over 20 cruise over time and we have never been treated or had such a bad room / service from management ever. First the room flooded around 7.30 pm after being told they will vacuum and change the bedding with water still leaking from the roof i requested for the fifth time to be moved to another room they agread at 11.30 pm that was was not fun. Next day no contact from any ...
The cabin was very nice - no complaints.
We went to all the inclusive restaurants and the food and service were great - absolutely no complaints. There was always something to cater for everyone and when you think of the number of meals they produce it was a well-oiled machine.
The buffet catered really well for the number of people. The only time there were real queues were when the ...
This is our second time on the Majestic. We had sailed on her in 2019.
Cabin mini-suite. Bathroom was still tight but a real bath is nice option. Though the plugs aren’t the best for holding water, especially in the sink for shaving purposes.
Balcony was very small for a mini suite, uncovered so no privacy from above. We knew about this though before boarding. Though water drips from deck ...
We chose to go on this cruise with 2 other couples for a significant birthday. We had room which was classed as a mini suite however it was the same size as the normal balcony cabins. Queen bed was comfortable, the room itself was small and functional. The bathroom was particularly small and you could only use it one person at a time. We found the food menu/selection/quality very poor. If this is ...
We took the 14 day New Zealand cruise from Brisbane on 4th December 2023. Worrying about reviews written about the age and state of the ship we were pleasantly surprised. As it is older the corridors are wider, and we weren’t packed in like sardines. The carpet is just like that in the RSL clubs. We took Aloha mini suite. Whilst it not as wide as others the rounded balcony has the best views by ...
My wife and I and another couple who joined us, had New Zealand on our bucket list and found the cruise itinerary to be very interesting. I have to say the embarkation and debarkation process was outstanding, including going on port calls. Princess has that down pat. We only wish the amount of staff was available throughout the ship.
We loved our room and our cabin steward. We have never been ...
Dear all,
Here is a brief trip report on a cruise we did from Australia to New Zealand, which may help anyone planning similar. We went on the Royal Princess, out of Sydney (December, 2023). We had a balcony room on the left side of the ship (which afforded the best views when arriving at ports). Overall, the cruise ship was very good.
-Embarkation in Sydney was a bit shambolic and ...
