Majestic Princess Review
Rating by category
Additional details
We chose this cruise because we hadn't cruised with Princess before, and Majestic Princess was available at a realistic price from Sydney to Auckland.
We were delighted with the decor and ambience of the ship, it really is beautifully decorated. Everywhere you went there was evidence of careful thought and design, pleasing to the eye and simple yet delightful.
The entertainment was first class, the production crew, and the rest of the entertainment team were easily among the best we have cruised with. The dining room staff left nothing to be desired, the cabin steward likewise and all personnel contributed to a very pleasant experience.

Port Reviews
Melbourne
The Dandenong excursion was fully booked, we were waitlisted, but nothing came of it.
We did the Puffing Bill excursion previously, OK once, wouldn't do it again.
Tauranga
Not a lot going for it in Tauranga itself for the tourist, we know it well, living only an hour away. But from there are tours to Hobbiton, Rotorua, including Te Puia, the Buried Village, Lake Tarawera, and many many more attractions.
Napier
Best port ever, vintage cars, period dress, Art Deco buildings. Band on the wharf to farewell us. Beautiful scenery, fantastic vineyards (from previous experiences)
Wellington
Cold, windy, mostly shut, and in desperate need of refurbishment.
