Singularly the worst cruise i've ever been on, and i've been many, with more booked this year.
The good points.. The ship was clean and the staff were great - particularly the cabin crew we had.
But.. The food was disgraceful.. All complimentary areas were cheap slop - heavily cooked mince or shredded meat pieces in sloppy vegetables or god knows what. And for a piece of fish? Cheap, deep ...
I guess the size of your dividend matters if you hold Princess Cruises shares but the size of the queues matters if you are a passenger on their new giant ships. And I really wonder how much longer the wonderful crews they employ can keep carrying their reputation and where the cruise industry is heading with the number of passengers they are cramming onto their ships.
OK this was our 8th ...
There were 10 of us that cruised this time. This was our 3rd Princess cruise, this time from Sydney to Hobart-Port Arthur-Kangaroo Island.
We had smooth sailing for the first half and lumpy seas with a swell for the second half. On the final leg we sailed through a meeting of three rain events the caused us to be late in getting into Sydney Harbour. The pilot boat couldn’t get out to ...
Will definitely cruise on this ship again if we have the chance. Embarkation was a breeze we were on board within 30 minutes of port arrival. Disembarkation was also good also around 30 mins after joining cue.
We have cruised with R.C, P&O, and Carnival previously and found this ship to be in most aspects a cut above. The decor is clearly more premium including the stateroom. Staff were ...
FOOD
Worst Bacon and Coffee of any cruise ship. Poached eggs came out without and white - just a yolk.
Worst breakfast Service ever - 45 minutes for eggs to arrive. Cold toast turned up 5 minutes later.
It was only an 8 day cruise but repetion of menu wasn't great.
None of these had a huge impact on overall experience. We didn't starve :)
SHIP
Worst designed Ship we've sailed on. ...
My husband and I sailed on what we call "the cruise to nowhere", being the 19 March 2024 Brilliance of the Seas "11 day "cruise to the South Pacific from Sydney, Australia
The cruise was meant to head to Lifou, Noumea, Mystery Island, Port Vila and Luganville for 11 days. In the end we only (just) got to Lifou - the other ports were cancelled and the cruise was cut short from 11 days to 8 days ...
Wow, P&O, you absolutely ruined my holiday, 2 weeks and my hard eared cash down the drain because of your corporate greed for profit over customer satisfaction. We will never set foot on a P&O ship ever again. We have sailed five times with other cruise companies, namely, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity. Decided to give P&O a try as pricing was very competitive. What a huge mistake, it was ...
We chose this cruise to use up some cruise credits after contracting Covid on a 21night Mediterranean cruise in 2023 and being isolated for a week. As we were in Sydney for other reasons, it was opportune to incorporate the cruise as well.
Embarkation and Disembarkation were both quick and seamless. Despite having the required Princess profile photos, security are insistent on taking another ...
This was our first cruise on the Majestic after other cruises on various Princess ships.
We loved that you could hardly feel any movement as the ship was so large. Our room was further to the front.
Jamie’s band were absolutely amazing and had the passengers rocking. We spent most of our nights on the dance floor, which was on level 5 near the Vibes Bar. The team there were always busy but ...
I was very excited to cruise on the Edge, I had read all the celebrity promo and it looked fabulous. We had an internal room deck 11, this was very nice nothing to complain about. The drinks packages and Wi- fi packages are extortionate. I did feel that Celebrity are trying to extract every extra dollar that can from you. The excursion's are something you do not want to go near as they are ...
