It's a good itinerary, but the seas can be rough and apparently missing ports like the scenic cruising is not uncommon. We didn't know that, so I would warn anyone about it in future.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
No issues, nice and smooth generally
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Especially the dining rooms have great food.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
The pools weren't heated enough for the weather, sadly, so that could have been better, and Princess doesn't have water slides or things like that. Good fitness center, and they put a lot of activities on the schedule.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Especially the production shows are very impressive, but sometimes it was hard to get a seat.
Children's Programs
I don't have kids. They seemed to have a lot going on.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Everyone is always very professional and friendly, though the front desk wasn't as helpful when we had questions as we would have liked.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
This is a nice ship and very well taken care of.
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
The cabin was generally fine, but we had the two bunk beds above us for some reason and that was quite difficult to manage for two people trying to sleep together in a Queen size. They also should really start putting clocks in the rooms. There are none!
I love this city anyway, but we also went on an excursion to Ballarat -- unfortunately that didn't provide quite enough time for Sovereign Hill, but all you see there is good.
