Review summary

Was a lovely 13 night cruise on the Majestic Princess, largest princess ship in the fleet. It was a cruise to New Zealand weather was cold and wet most of the time, still had a few sunny days other than that still had an enjoyable time. The ship was lovely in its self, good entertainment, food and seating.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin was small but cosy and very clean, bed comfortable but high off the ground was a little hard for me to get into. Shower room tiny but practicable good shower. We had a balcony also on starboard side.

Ship tip

Learn the map you are given on the ship. Because it is quite easy to get lost especially if your travelling with a lot of people. And always wash your hands.

Love this place so easy to get around, you can do a tour if you like or just a short walk into town, walk around Mt Manganui which takes an hour and a half. The choice is yours.

Port Chalmers is a lovely spot and very interesting with Scottish history. We did not disembark this time as we have been there before.
