I chose this cruise to fulfill my bucketlist excursion to Tasmania AND New Zealand. Tasmania and New Zealand did not disappoint but the cruiseship did for a single traveler. Despite having been on Princess cruises with an active single program, this ship offered NOTHING for singles. On Princess You pay 200% as a single cruiser but you get nothing for the extra cost.

The evening shows were often good with the orchestra and Princess dancers, but guest entertainers were average at best. The Christmas Eve show was very well produced and entertaining. However, the Christmas Eve show was magnificent.

The service is sporadic by crew members. Cabin attendant was good at keeping cabin neat and in order, but unlike other cruises nothing extra, like towel animals, or cutesies. I feel this is due to the cabin stewards having numerous rooms to clean and no extra time for extras.

Cabin Review

Interior

Worst cabin ever. When you go to princess it shows pictures of room with area for sitting table and one bed. Beware... this is a CROWDED family room with 4 beds. Two beds hang from the walls, and even in folded up position they overhang into the room. I have a permanent headache still from constantly banging my head on the obstructing beds.
