Being on the transition cruise from China to Australia it was a disappointing experience but I am sure Princess will sort out the bugs and cater well for the Australian market. Without the magnificent staff and wonderful new friends we made it would have been a cruise I’d forget quite quickly.
Embarkation
1 out of 5
Shanghai terminal was extremely unorganised. No communication with guests. Embarkation times were ignored resulting in waiting times in the scorching sun of up to 3 hours
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
It took a week or so until great meals were served as they were trying to transition from Chinese to Australian cruisers.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Not enough activities to keep us happy.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Of what performances we saw they were fantastic. Unfortunately the Princess Theatre is too small and if you didn’t turn up at least 1 hour before hand you would risk missing out on a seat
Children's Programs
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Staff were amazing trying to keep a lot of disgruntled guests happy
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
Layout was average. No rear pool area which was a big letdown. Hollywood Pool area was overwhelming with chlorine smell, vista lounge and princess theatre too small and buffet area way too big. Use of space on this ship is very average.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Overwhelmed with size and position of our cabin. The beds are so comfortable and rooms are always clean.
Ship tip
The ship has a lot of negatives but as long as you stay positive you will have a great time and hopefully meet new friends for life
