We chose this cruise to be able to visit family in Auckland and enjoy relaxing journey there, with stops in Hobart and Melbourne.

It was a pleasant cruise, seas were calm, weather cool but sunny. Had a great day in Hobart, hired a car and drove to Port Arthur, had another couple join us Enjoyed a day in Melbourne riding trams, wandering around Fitzroy Gardens.

The ship was one of the largest for Princess, we had been on its sister ship The Royal around UK earlier in year. The Majestic was geared for Asian passengers who like to gamble so the Casino was bigger and the Vista Lounge called the Vista Gaming lounge, dark and a bit claustrophobic, pity could t see out of windows due to boards covering them up.

Cabin Review

Mini-Suite with Balcony

Good sized room, nice to have large sofa plus extra TV. Area for beds very small, hardly room to move around beds if twins as we had, couldnt move bedside lockers to extend area.

Batheoom had bath, had to climb into bath to use shower, not a favourite of mine.

Balcony small, couldnt entertain out there but ok for two people.
