Second time on the Majestic Princess but last tim was around NZ where only one port was a tender port, because this cruise had three tender ports and extra bus trips to get to the destination it took away the enjoyment of going ashore but in saying that we still had a great cruise but would check the itinerary carefully before choosing this ship again
Embarkation
5 out of 5
No problem, 30 minutes from taxi to cabin
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Food in the main dining room(concerto) was generally good but sometimes lacked gluten free choices, the same applies to the buffet ( even less GF choices) but otherwise good
Alfredo's Pizzeria
5 out of 5
Excellent pizza, excellent staff, not much more to say
Bellini's
5 out of 5
Staff were fantastic, Rosie is a star, the team here were better fun than the entertainment staff, only small downside is the noise from the atrium activities can be overpowering
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Walking, mini golf, outdoor gym equipment, only downside was no compleatbaround the ship walk but not a big deal
Entertainment
3 out of 5
Mostly forced, old hat stuff that has been done since cruise ships began, line dancing, YMCA, 10 customer questions, the doctors waiting room etc , even the production shows have been going so long the cast looks bored and disinterested, also bingo, karaoke, hairy chest competition, becoming more like a hi de hi camp than a luxury cruise
Children's Programs
No children
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
As usual, Princess bar staff, waiters and room stewards are the highest quality and are probably the main reason we keep returning to Princess
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
The layout is different from other ships and doesn’t work well in several respects, no crows nest lounge, no bar in the Vista lounge, lack of indoor quiet areas, they all have foot traffic passing through them, the atrium bar, and the two other bars are impossible to talk at/ in when anything is going on in the atrium ( almost non stop), in saying that the common areas were very clean and well maintained
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
No complaints, very comfortable, clean and. In perfect working order
Lovely place but spoiled by having to wait in a massive queue after a nice day out, this is due to the ships size or being able to dock in many piers of call resulting in long waiting times for tenders
Totally agree with the tender process it can be a pain would rather walk off the ship anytime the 40 night you have booked around Australia most would be tender ports would they not ? Anyway hope you enjoy happy cruising:-))
