"It was a good time to go, as it was outside school holidays, although the time of year meant that in the tropical locations visited there was a strong possibility of cyclones and the humidity was likely to make things a little uncomfortable.It would have been good to hear the captains announcements in the cabins, I missed some as a result of them not being transmitted and like to be fully aware of this information...."Read More

1-10 of 75 Sydney (Australia) Princess Majestic Princess Cruise Reviews
We've cruised to the Pacific before and we have cruised with pre-pandemic Princess so this will be both an honest and (hopefully) informed review.
Overall I feel Majestic Princess hits its mark as a premium cruise line. There are some little oddities with the ship, primarily as a result of its designed for China past. I'll deal with those issues first. Yes it would be better with a wake pool; ...
I chose this cruise as I wanted to return to cruising after a long break with health issues and the pandemic. It offered an opportunity to revisit some ports which I hadn't seen for about half a century at a reasonable price. It was a good time to go, as it was outside school holidays, although the time of year meant that in the tropical locations visited there was a strong possibility of ...
We did a back to back cruise on Majestic Princess from 18th January to 10th February 2024. The first cruise was a 13 night cruise and sailed to Pacific Islands of Vanuatu, Fiji & New Caledonia.
The second cruise sailed to Queensland. Both cruises started and ended in Sydney.
We flew to Sydney from London Heathrow via Singapore with British Airways which was a very pleasant flight. We just ...
This is our second time on the Majestic. We had sailed on her in 2019.
Cabin mini-suite. Bathroom was still tight but a real bath is nice option. Though the plugs aren’t the best for holding water, especially in the sink for shaving purposes.
Balcony was very small for a mini suite, uncovered so no privacy from above. We knew about this though before boarding. Though water drips from deck ...
The cabin was very nice - no complaints.
We went to all the inclusive restaurants and the food and service were great - absolutely no complaints. There was always something to cater for everyone and when you think of the number of meals they produce it was a well-oiled machine.
The buffet catered really well for the number of people. The only time there were real queues were when the ...
We chose this cruise to see Fiji, but bad weather pushed us away from the Fiji islands two days early. Out of three planned days in Fiji, we only were able to see the Suva area and in heavy rain. The cruise made up for it with an extra day at sea and an extra day in New Caledonia.
The ship itself is relatively new, so it looks fresh, but overall, it's appearance is average. I think the ...
We sailed with Princess for 4 out 5 trips, starting in Auckland.
During the trip Princess changed their benefits. One of the most significant benefits is Princess Cruise lines has stopped providing free exercise classes as stretch and abs. If you want classes you either have to pay for them or you can do what we did run our own stretch classes. There are 3 trainers on board. I saw more people ...
Choose this cruise to Fiji, New Caledonia and Vanuatu because I enjoyed the cruise some years ago and have always wanted to go back. First cruise post COVID so was interested to see how cruising had changed.
Unfortunately cruise itinerary was changed multiple times before sailing. Stop in Isle of Pines (one of the nicest Islands) was cancelled due to operational reasons afew months before ...
We took my 95yr mother in law on the cruise, the 3 of us had a great time, Health protocols were followed , we saw no evidence of Covid. So no health issues.
The food was excellent, the restaurant staff in The Symphony Restaurant were amazing. Danilo the Maitre' Dand Robert our head waiter deserve special mention, their service was exemplary. Robert made my mother in law (and us) feel very ...
My husband and I were invited by my sister and her family to cruise to New Zealand on the Majestic Princess to celebrate her covid-delayed 30th wedding anniversary. This was our 3rd cruise to NZ on 3 different cruise lines and our 2nd cruise since Covid.
