"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 cyclones and the humidity was likely to make things a little uncomfortable.It would have been good to hear the captains announcements in the cabins, I missed some as a result of them not being transmitted and like to be fully aware of this information...."Read More

1-10 of 12 Sydney (Australia) to the South Pacific Princess Majestic Princess Cruise Reviews
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; ...
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 ...
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 ...
Choose this cruise to Fiji, New Caledonia and Vanuatu because I enjoyed the cruise some years ago and have always wanted to go back. First cruise post COVID so was interested to see how cruising had changed.
Unfortunately cruise itinerary was changed multiple times before sailing. Stop in Isle of Pines (one of the nicest Islands) was cancelled due to operational reasons afew months before ...
Chose this cruise as part of a move over offer. We had cruised previously on the Majestic Princess in March 2019. Cruise itinerary looked interesting although this time of the year temperatures 30C plus did not encourage us to take up any shore excursions.
Prefer traditional dining but allocated anytime dining due to late booking. Required to make a booking daily to guarantee a table and time ...
We sailed on the majestic princess to New Caledonia, Vanuatu and Fiji from Sydney.
Embarkation was smooth, super quick and easy. Best we have seen yet.
The ship itself is amazing, so so big. Are room wasn’t ready yet but that was alright, we went and purchased our drink packages and headed to lunch in the marketplace, the marketplace was a bit crazy and hard to find a seat for the first ...
we decided to try an more elegant n new ship.majestic n that she was beautiful new n elegant the renewal of vows was the best thing we chose to do if you get the chance do it well worth it . the staff n captain put everything together beautiful . just make sure you have friends n family with you for photos. there was good n bad with our cruise like you get on most cruise ships.we done 14 nights n ...
First cruise on this ship. Internals similar to Sun and Sea Princess but bigger. Takes a while to get from one end to the other, apparently has 3500 passengers in Australia but up to 4500 whilst overseas. This probably explains why ship did not feel busy ( except of course in Princess Theatre-as per usual for Princess Cruises).
Being set up for overseas it had things that Princess once had in ...
The lovely cabin was the highlight of this ship.
The Majestic Princess is certainly large! A cross between a Westfield shopping mall and a casino. Quite difficult to navigate as most of the large open areas have no markings as to what direction is the front of the ship. They run red carpet on the starboard side and blue on the port side in the cabin hallways, common sense was obviously not ...
