Review summary

Great cruise, excellent service by cruise staff. We had some wonderful excursions with great guides which makes us consider several places for a revisit sometime in the future.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy process, no issues.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Only used buffet breakfasts and Traditional Dinning in the evenings, great service.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Limited use of activities, but plenty was going on.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Great as always, only issue was that we booked in Australia a 14 day cruise, onboard it became 2 x 7 day cruises, therefore stage shows were repeats in second week, a little disappointing as we have advised Princess.

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All staff, from Room Steward, Bar Staff, Waiters and the Supervisors do a great job.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very good, especially that fact that Princess has a laundry on each deck.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Great Size, amenities and comfort.

Ship tip

Just check the holiday periods in the area you are going to cruise, then check the actual cruise detail. (Not book a 14 day cruise only to be on 2 x 7 day cruises)
