Majestic Princess Review
Rating by category
Additional details
Princess keeps improving its standards for passengers with special dietary needs. This has been my sixth cruise with Princess and it just gets better and better.
The head waiters are ultra-attentive because they want to make sure you get the best out of your dining experience. The chefs go out of their way to make sure you get to experience food the way everyone else does. Escargot cooked in margarine because you can't eat butter? Not a problem! Can't have ice cream? How about rice milk semifreddo?
Going on a shore excursion where there might be food? That's not a problem either. I was pleasantly surprised to find a form in my cabin where I could detail my dietary requirements. This was forwarded to the venue for the shore excursion I chose. When everyone else was eating cheese scones and sweet muffins at Hobbiton, I was eating two gluten-free, dairy-free cakes. Something as simple as this is very much appreciated.

Port Reviews
Sydney (Australia)
The embarkation and disembarkation process can be daunting. There are plenty of people here to help you out. Im on platinum level so it was a lot easier; despite the waiting it was a simple process for others.
Auckland
A great place to visit. Ive been here before so I didnt do any planned sightseeing.
Wellington
Te Papa Museum is an amazing place - both museum and art gallery combined. If you have time, queue for the Gallipoli experience, its worthwhile. The traditional Maori section is amazing - you get a real insight into Maori culture.
Akaroa
This is a lovely seaside town with a touch of French je ne sais quoi. Plenty of places to eat, lots of little shops selling unusual souvenirs and an exceptional jewellery shop. If you have time, visit St Peters Anglican Church - it is really beautiful and a testament to its builders that it survived the earthquake.
Majestic Princess is so big that this is a tender port but that in no way diminishes the experience.
