1-10 of 62 Sydney (Australia) to the South Pacific Princess Majestic Princess Cruise Reviews
Recently returned from our 13N Majestic Princess Sth Pacific cruise 10-23 Feb Sydney roundtrip. It was our first Princess cruise since 2017 & our 3rd cruise for the 23-24 season. I make some points:
- Embarking was very fast & we were soon on the ship after shuttle drop-off around noon, having a light lunch in the buffet before dropping our carry-on in our cabin.
- We had ...
I chose this cruise as I wanted to return to cruising after a long break with health issues and the pandemic. It offered an opportunity to revisit some ports which I hadn't seen for about half a century at a reasonable price. It was a good time to go, as it was outside school holidays, although the time of year meant that in the tropical locations visited there was a strong possibility of ...
This was our 10th cruise and the 7th one on Princess. We always wanted to visit the South Pacific but the long flights always stood in the way. We decided to just go for it and are so happy we did. This cruise was our 50th wedding anniversary cruise so we booked a full suite. The suite was worth every penny. Not just for the room, which was fabulous, but all the perks that come with being in a ...
We've cruised to the Pacific before and we have cruised with pre-pandemic Princess so this will be both an honest and (hopefully) informed review.
Overall I feel Majestic Princess hits its mark as a premium cruise line. There are some little oddities with the ship, primarily as a result of its designed for China past. I'll deal with those issues first. Yes it would be better with a wake pool; ...
We did a back to back cruise on Majestic Princess from 18th January to 10th February 2024. The first cruise was a 13 night cruise and sailed to Pacific Islands of Vanuatu, Fiji & New Caledonia.
The second cruise sailed to Queensland. Both cruises started and ended in Sydney.
We flew to Sydney from London Heathrow via Singapore with British Airways which was a very pleasant flight. We just ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
