Sapphire Princess Cruise 6th - 18th January 2005 Review
We have arrived home from our wonderful cruise. Yes ... the Sapphire Princess cruise ship is a magnificent venue for the holiday or a lifetime. First of all price ... We paid for an inside cabin. When we got on board we found out we had been upgraded to a window cabin .... can you imagine how delighted we were! After checking our prices against the Princess smaller ship in the Pacific ... our cruise was the "special" of all specials.
Embarkation: I don't want to remember this as it was not what I expected .... long lines of people standing in the rain ... just waiting for some movement. No cover! Auckland Port is not geared for a large ship like Sapphire. However ... I think by the time the Sapphire has to do this again, things will have improved because of all the complaints that would have been received.
