Princess Cruise Reviews for Senior to Australia & New Zealand

This was the worst travel experience of my life. It was our first time on a cruise and certainly the last with Grand Princess. This cruise is suitable for 60 year olds and above only. The cruise itself is extremely outdated! I wouldn’t even say it could pass as a family cruise. 1 of the 3 stops they made over the 2 weeks was an industrial area. We even did a tour and didn’t even see much at all. ...

I would never recommend this cruise ship to anyone. We joined this cruise to celebrate our special wedding anniversary - this is our 7th cruise - but unfortunately its all about money and not passengers. Our towels in cabin were not changed for 6 days - apparently the laundry couldnt cope with daily changes. The cafes food was the same for 14 days, tables not cleared when passengers left - ...

Positives: (1) we were on board within a half hour of arrival to the the pier. (2) my dh and i won 2 trivia contests which had actual prizes-bottles of champagne (3) the princess app on the phone was easy to navigate. (4) dravuni, fiji cruise port is outstanding and saved this cruise from being a zero. Negatives: (1) no ac in our cabin for 3 days in the hot south pacific. Impossible to have a ...

Having done 28 cruises [19 with princess],this was our 1st since covid 4 years ago.We have had all 6 vaccinations for covid plus the flu jab & taken buccalines [& have never been sick in these past 4 years].So decided to go back to cruising,what a mistake that was.Boarded in Auckland,3 days later kicked off for 5 hours in Sydney for a ship deep clean because of gastro according to the captain,by ...

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 ...

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 ...

We chose this cruise so that we could travel from Adelaide and to experience the East side of Australia with the highlight being the Great Barrier Reef excursion in Cairns. Our cabin on arrival was very cold and noisy from the air conditioner which had no option to turn off, only adjust the heat. We made the necessary adjustments to the basic control however many hours later it was still very ...

Definitely Not a Royal Experience ! 10 night QLD cruise - 4 ports This was our first big holiday since covid & we decided to stay in Australia & cruise our beautiful QLD coast thinking on Princess it would be a relaxing luxury experience like our pre covid cruising experiences had been. Sadly it was anything but. From start to finish it seemed costs had been cut everywhere. Definitely no ...

Friends anniversary Appalling service, waited 1.5 hrs for every drink and food ordered some were never delivered but charged on app. App medallion did not work. No staff. This is with Princess plus package. The whole ship was a disgrace. Severe toxic fuel smell and sewerage smell down corridors. Paid top money for 2 days - would never travel with this liner. Went to speak with ...

We chose this as our bucket list cruise around the world. First the two items that were positive about this cruise: 1.The cabin stewards and the personnel in the Horizon Cafe were terrific when it came to service 2.The Horizon Cafe Buffet had a great selection of food which was well prepared and had a tremendous variety. Unfortunately those are the only god things I can report about this ...
