Princess Sydney (Australia) Cruise Reviews

I guess the size of your dividend matters if you hold Princess Cruises shares but the size of the queues matters if you are a passenger on their new giant ships. And I really wonder how much longer the wonderful crews they employ can keep carrying their reputation and where the cruise industry is heading with the number of passengers they are cramming onto their ships. OK this was our 8th ...

FOOD Worst Bacon and Coffee of any cruise ship. Poached eggs came out without and white - just a yolk. Worst breakfast Service ever - 45 minutes for eggs to arrive. Cold toast turned up 5 minutes later. It was only an 8 day cruise but repetion of menu wasn't great. None of these had a huge impact on overall experience. We didn't starve :) SHIP Worst designed Ship we've sailed on. ...

The Majestic is one of the latest ships in the Princess lineup , so we thought we would give it a try. Embarkation was smooth and quick. We decided to bid for an upgrade from a balcony to a Deluxe balcony cabin , our bid was successful but we found out that the couple in the adjacent cabin just asked for an upgrade equal to ours and were given it (free). BEWARE!!!!. The cabin was ...

We were really looking forward to this cruise to New Zealand but sadly left the ship very disappointed. We booked 10 months in advance as part of a 6 week tour of Australia and New Zealand departing from the UK. We had stayed on the ship for this cruise after we had completed the previous cruise around Australia and Tasmania. Our balcony cabin was adequate for our needs but the balconies are ...

Check-In When arriving at the terminal in Sydney it was just under 30deg.C and we couldn't believe the length of the queue. Once inside the terminal (and in the shade), we were faced with further massive queues. Eventually collected our medallions and were ready to join another massive queue. Cabin (Stateroom) Very clean and looked after by the excellent Fernando. Ship Very well ...

My wife and I and another couple who joined us, had New Zealand on our bucket list and found the cruise itinerary to be very interesting. I have to say the embarkation and debarkation process was outstanding, including going on port calls. Princess has that down pat. We only wish the amount of staff was available throughout the ship. We loved our room and our cabin steward. We have never been ...

In this review...Temperatures in Celcius. Currency onboard Australian Dollar. Language onboard English. As with my other cruise reviews, I will split my review into categories. I'll also give marks out of 10 for each section where appropriate. Embarkation. To be honest, this was almost a shambles and very rushed. I realise that the ship needs to get passengers on as quickly as possible, ...

First time cruising on Majestic from Sydney. Most times travel on RC. Ship is older and does not have the bells and whistles, which is ok as I don’t use them anyway, more for the kids and teens. The central atrium was small so therefore the whole cruise was impossible to get a seat there as they were occupied constantly with people not moving on. The problem with the Majestic is that is has hardly ...

Travelled with my parents to see some South Pacific islands. Unfortunately, a cyclone was forming near Fiji so after 1 day at Suva we spent the following two days at sea travelling very slowly towards New Caledonia where we spent an extra port day. Whereas we should have had two more days at Fiji. The one day at Mystery island on Vanuatu had a lovely beach and trpoical feel. Weather meant the ...

I have done many cruises with Princess, and the Royal, which is now in Australia for the first time was a big disappointment. Not the crew, they were great as usual, but the cabin set up - no USB ports at all, two USA powerpoints and one European one. Everyone has a mobile phone - have to to use the Medallian app - but no where to charge it! Breakfast had the most choices in the buffet - ...
