PRINCESS STANDARDS ARE SLIPPING

Review for a Australia & New Zealand Cruise on Majestic Princess

We chose this cruise to use up some cruise credits after contracting Covid on a 21night Mediterranean cruise in 2023 and being isolated for a week. As we were in Sydney for other reasons, it was opportune to incorporate the cruise as well. Embarkation and Disembarkation were both quick and seamless. Despite having the required Princess profile photos, security are insistent on taking another ...

The ship and rooms are very nice. The staff in general very friendly. BUT,! The customer service and organization is poor. Over priced excursions, so most book through someone else. We cruised Australia and had 4 ports that used Tenders to shore. The Tender process was terrible, wait times of 1-2 hours to get on a tender, 30 minute boat ride and then the piers were 30 mins from town. ...

NOT AS EXPECTED FROM A LUXURY CRUISE LINE

Firstly let me say this, if you are above 70 you may enjoy this cruise. I must say boarding was a simple quick process even though we were not informed of our boarding time prior so we just arrived around 1 pm and once onboard we were not informed that lunch was available at the buffet so therefore we missed out. The food is very bland and servings are very small ( nursing home size ). We had ...

Appalling queues

Cruise ruined by very poor organisation to leave ship .have been in the queue for 20 Minutes. Not even half way. Queue snakes around dining room and two corridors. This is the situation in Wellington but getting back on in Dunedin nearly as bad. Do not seem to be organised or bothered. Quite happy for passengers to queue for 45 minutes to get off a ship Food has been of a high standard ...

A boat so boring, never a cruise again

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

The three positive points of the boat, the very nice cabins, the very helpful staff, the very good quality of the food (a little too salty) at the buffet. It is better to avoid restaurants which are crowded and where you wait and where you do not benefit from the beautiful view of the buffet. The entertainment is very very very poor, the basic Internet package is lousy and you have to pay 45 ...

Went on this cruise for my late honeymoon with my wife. Service and staff was generally amazing, the team keeping the ship clean and serving the food in the Brittania restaurant were top notch. Afternoon tea was wonderful we went almost every day, and the gala nights were really nice. It's wonderful to still have cruise lines that keep things classy. The food that we got was great and tasted ...

Great staff, ambiance not good

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

All staff were very friendly. What is not good? Almost zero outdoor, pool deck activity! Only once every two weeks some food or live music on the pool deck. No music anywhere when the show is on. Some harbors bad stops such as in Java. Excursion some ok, some just hours of bus drives. Worst: Horrible wifi! If you are not retired and need to work some online: Do not use Regent! They advertise ...

Let’s start with the positives: We haven’t sunk (yet). Food variety in the main buffet is good. Eden bar is very nice. And now the negatives: Celebrity continue to cost-cut on quality and ‘nickel-and-dime’ everything. Consistently tepid food in the main buffet and, surprisingly, in the main restaurants. Insufficient waiting staff in the bars. Classic drinks package includes ...
