We chose this cruise to use up some cruise credits after contracting Covid on a 21night Mediterranean cruise in 2023 and being isolated for a week. As we were in Sydney for other reasons, it was opportune to incorporate the cruise as well.
Embarkation and Disembarkation were both quick and seamless. Despite having the required Princess profile photos, security are insistent on taking another ...
The ship is a beautiful ship, that is until you look further. The buffet is crowded, the walkway is narrow. Public toilets are very small, it’s almost impossible for two people to pass each other. The food is good, the entertains excellent. However, the theatre is too small for the size of the ship. Cabins are comfortable.
Now we come to the main gripe. Lack of hygiene protocols. At no time in ...
We chose to go on this cruise with 2 other couples for a significant birthday. We had room which was classed as a mini suite however it was the same size as the normal balcony cabins. Queen bed was comfortable, the room itself was small and functional. The bathroom was particularly small and you could only use it one person at a time. We found the food menu/selection/quality very poor. If this is ...
We are Platinum member of Princess. Signed up for Majestic Princess for two consecutive cruises starting 11/25/2023 to New Zealand and then 12/10/2023 to Australia. This cruise was to celebrate a friend's 70th birthday. Actually looked at cruise critic reviews of this ship with just average ratings before booking although being a long time Princess cruise supporter, believed it could just be ...
We choose this cruise for us and a family as we had this booked before covid so it was special. Just to be disappointing embarking the ship almost impossible even though we were given a time slot which they did not follow through long line ups. No sail ways entertainment very poor, movies under the stars daytime not suitable for children Edward scissor and west side story just voices no movie ...
Overall, and based on this cruise, I would say Princess’ standards are slipping. There are minor cut backs chipping away around the edges of what used to be a premium cruise line, perhaps due to the struggling parent company.
The Good
The room (mini-suite) was great, though I don’t know why they still use shower curtains. Perhaps that is because of the tub, and reduces cleaning? The only ...
I wanted to go to Fiji to see the islands and to do some snorkeling.
The thirteen day cruise consisted of only two days of going on the Islands, a stop in Lautoka (nothing there) Suva (dodgy and sleazy).
There is no adult only pool ( as advertised) it was taken over by kids, as the barmen said it is not an enforced rule children in the Hollywood pool. Children put in life jackets in the ...
We are just completing a New Zealand cruise from Australia on the Majestic Princess. We are Elite members of Princess and have cruised extensively with a number of cruise lines. We have always been happy with Princess before so it has been very disappointing to experience such poor service. We contracted covid on board. We found the medical team either overworked &/understaffed. The medical centre ...
We were on the six day segment from Sydney to Adelaide.
So the major issue with this cruise was the poor attitude and service from the staff. With the exclusion of the cabin stewards, the rest displayed attitudes ranging from indifference to sometimes even hostility. None of the crew seemed to know much of anything about the ship, and seemed annoyed often to even be asked a question. I am ...
Cabin and staff are fine.
Entertainment apart from main shows is third rate.
Food is bland and cheap.
THIS IS A PROFIT DRIVEN SHIP AT THE COST OF QUALITY.
Entertainment Staff appear to go through the motions and do the minimum that is required.
i think i spotted the cruise director once off stage, that was when he was recording in
his private studio (Live) That was a ...
