We chose this cruise to see Fiji, but bad weather pushed us away from the Fiji islands two days early. Out of three planned days in Fiji, we only were able to see the Suva area and in heavy rain. The cruise made up for it with an extra day at sea and an extra day in New Caledonia.
The ship itself is relatively new, so it looks fresh, but overall, it's appearance is average. I think the ...
Travelled with my parents to see some South Pacific islands. Unfortunately, a cyclone was forming near Fiji so after 1 day at Suva we spent the following two days at sea travelling very slowly towards New Caledonia where we spent an extra port day. Whereas we should have had two more days at Fiji.
The one day at Mystery island on Vanuatu had a lovely beach and trpoical feel. Weather meant the ...
This was a 3 night cruise from Sydney to Eden, last time we were on Majestic was almost 4 years ago just before the Pandemic was declared, it was 14 nights to Pacific Islands & Fiji.
It is still in the same beautiful condition as then, and we so enjoyed our short break.
The food was so nice, the quality was streets ahead of Royal Caribbean which we have been on twice since sailing ...
I wanted to cross the Pacific Ocean, and this was a wonderful way to do it! The ship was only 1/3 full most of the way, so it was very laid back and relaxed, with plenty of room and no queues for anything. The food was great - even the buffet was better than I was expecting. The main dining room meals were beautiful, and the specialty dining meals in the Crown Grill were also good, but not a ...
We sailed with Princess for 4 out 5 trips, starting in Auckland.
During the trip Princess changed their benefits. One of the most significant benefits is Princess Cruise lines has stopped providing free exercise classes as stretch and abs. If you want classes you either have to pay for them or you can do what we did run our own stretch classes. There are 3 trainers on board. I saw more people ...
We have always enjoyed princess cruises having traveled over 400 days with them but this cruise was a huge disappointment.
We booked a suite thinking it would be a wonderful experience and we would be spoilt from start to finish during the 28 day’s onboard.
On the positive side the concierge lounge and staff were fantastic, the happy hour was very social and the food and snacks were ...
Our first time with Princess, having previously cruised with HAL, but we did not find this ship very comfortable. For a cruise line that, as we believed, catered to more 'senior' passengers, there was very little in the way of lounges to sit comfortably with a coffee and a book. Getting a table in a lounge for pre-dinner drinks was not easy - the very large Vista Lounge was open at this time to ...
We were on a once in a lifetime trip to Australia and New Zealand and as part of the trip booked a Princess Cruise to the South Pacific. Before we even embarked on the cruise one of the stops had been cancelled, we then had another island stop cancelled whilst on the cruise which was due to passenger illness, which can't be helped. Food and service was very average and the whole experience was ...
2nd time Princess. First was average. Oh how we wished for avg this time! New app drops orders. Service is terrible. Excursions as cheap and crap locations possible. We are in the Pacific and brought to the slums of Fiji? Nothing majestic to be seen on this cruise! Onboard talent was better that avg except one comedian was abborent. Many ppl left his show. It's not the money wasted..it was two ...
After this cruise was cancelled a few times due to the pandemic I was starting to worry if I was actually going to get there. I am so glad that it finally happened, it made me remember why I love cruising and it felt like it was my first cruise all over again, for context my last cruise was in September 2019.
I will make a quick disclaimer about the ship itself. When it was initially ordered ...
