Magnificent Majestic Cruise by FFMF

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Majestic Princess / Destination: South Pacific - Australia

The Majestic Princess is a beautiful cruise ship, one if the latest and largest Pricess ships . Our cruise was terrific great food wonderful crew and services. Missed seeing the Fiordland Marine Parks due to a low pressure system causing strong winds and very large swell which our very wise Captain Dino Sagani thankfully decided wasnt safe passage. Recomend this cruise on the Majestic Princess.

Wonderful Hobart Cruise by Babyka

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Ovation of the Seas / Destination: South Pacific - Australia

Excellent cruise, staff very helpful and friendly, food fantastic, entertainment good, Although I don’t think there is enough seats to just sit down to rest while walking around the ship without going into a bar or coffee shop etc

Nice break by neiciepie

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Ovation of the Seas / Destination: South Pacific - Australia

The ship itself is lovely but it just seems to be missing something. New cruisers seemed overawed by it but for long time cruisers like myself the RCI fleet no longer has that special feeling. Nearly all activities are aimed at selling you something and the whole activity team seemed under utilised. You used to always see them around the ship getting involved with passengers but not now. Didn't even lay eyes on the Cruise director. Sadly the old days of cruising are gone forever. I don't like the dining rooms on this ship at all. Give me the grand old ones anytime. I doubt I will be back on a RCI ship as I find them all gimmicky and kind of soulless. Even though the staff try their best they seem to not have their heart in it either

Great ctuise by maryanne952

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Celebrity Solstice / Destination: South Pacific - Australia

We boarded in Sydney, no need to visit Melbourn. Would have been great to just sail direct from Sydney to New Zealand, we thought there were wasted days there. Did not enjoy the only shore tour we booked through ship, Dunedin sights and Taleiri Gorge railway. Waste of money, suggest try doing it through another party. Was way too expensive for what you got. Otherwise cruise was wonderful, nice taste of New Zealand.

I don't like "BS"and thats what they did, by AngryPolack

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Majestic Princess / Destination: South Pacific - Australia

The grossest tea creations are made by pretty boy Milan Savic and his loyal helpers in the International Cafe, located in the Plaza. Captain, I want you to know that Milan is "very" creative... I attempted to order tea. I had the name of the tea and a picture of it on my phone. My husband had previously ordered it, so I knew what to expect. I was very specific that it must be cold. They evidently did not feel like making it as requested, they looked at me laughing, rolling their eyes. They tried to make the tea four times, each time was a disaster. Customers behind me were shaking their heads. Finally, when I mentioned that I wanted to speak to the Hotel General Manager, they walked away and disappeared. I did not receive the correct tea. I immediately reported this to the front desk, showing them the four unsuccessful attempted tea efforts. The front desk staff could not believe the poor results, and how unprofessional they appeared. I also reported this to the Food and Beverage Director. He was apologetic, but I do not know if he took any action. Hopefully, someone will look into this failure of service.

Not the best cruise by bigc58

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Ovation of the Seas / Destination: South Pacific - Australia

Disappointing due to having to miss out the ports we went on the cruise to see due to bad weather. Feel more could have been done.

30th Wedding Anniversary Cruise by aowend

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Ovation of the Seas / Destination: South Pacific - Australia

My husband and I enjoyed an amazing cruise and ports for our 30th! The ship is HUUUUGEEEE but it didn't feel overcrowded and we enjoyed whatever we planned on doing or attending. The biggest disappointment was the food in the dining room. It was just average and some dishes were actually bad or tasteless. we ended up eating at the buffet or restaurants but since you had to pay extra that was not desirable to us. We went on recent cruises with Holland America where the food was SO delicious at EVERY meal, that admittedly we were spoiled coming onto this cruise. The staff was wonderful and tried to accommodate any way they could...but some things were lost in translation and other times it was just plain old bad cooking and the chef isn't getting it...Well it wasn't worth ruining our vacation, but we went on travel adviser and found many reviews complaining about the food, so it IS an issue...

Enjoyable by LuHarvey

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Sun Princess / Destination: South Pacific - Australia

I would go again if I could be guaranteed a firmer mattress as going on a cruise for relaxation and restbite would include getting a goodnight sleep and feeling refreshed. The Staff were really friendly and accommodating. .Thanks

This was a test cruise for us with Princess Cruises. We'll definitely be back. The cruise was excellent , food was great, all of the entertainment was genuinely enjoyable. See you again next year for a much longer one.
