After this cruise was cancelled a few times due to the pandemic I was starting to worry if I was actually going to get there. I am so glad that it finally happened, it made me remember why I love cruising and it felt like it was my first cruise all over again, for context my last cruise was in September 2019.
I will make a quick disclaimer about the ship itself. When it was initially ordered ...
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 ...
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 figured we'd probably never fly to Vanuatu or Fiji so why not try cruising. This South Pacific 14 day cruise offer popped into our inbox and we signed up - no consideration for the ship or the time of year - but it turned out to be a great decision. We had such a good time!
The Majestic Princess is a very big ship but we never felt crowded. It did take us a while to find our way around but ...
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 ...
We have cruised Princess several times . looking forward to Majestic but have to rate it around a 3 out of 5. Layout seems to be a bit disjointed ! ie seems whereever there was a small area with nothing in they just plonked something there - ie small bar area. - another internet area - there are 2 of these 1 has 2 terminals and a very very small selection of books(ie library) and the other from ...
Chose this cruise as part of a move over offer. We had cruised previously on the Majestic Princess in March 2019. Cruise itinerary looked interesting although this time of the year temperatures 30C plus did not encourage us to take up any shore excursions.
Prefer traditional dining but allocated anytime dining due to late booking. Required to make a booking daily to guarantee a table and time ...
We sailed on the majestic princess to New Caledonia, Vanuatu and Fiji from Sydney.
Embarkation was smooth, super quick and easy. Best we have seen yet.
The ship itself is amazing, so so big. Are room wasn’t ready yet but that was alright, we went and purchased our drink packages and headed to lunch in the marketplace, the marketplace was a bit crazy and hard to find a seat for the first ...
we decided to try an more elegant n new ship.majestic n that she was beautiful new n elegant the renewal of vows was the best thing we chose to do if you get the chance do it well worth it . the staff n captain put everything together beautiful . just make sure you have friends n family with you for photos. there was good n bad with our cruise like you get on most cruise ships.we done 14 nights n ...
Service has dropped considerably.
After 3 cruises with Princess cruises we are now considering other cruises companies not connected with Princess or Carnival.
No happy hour. This gave us an opportunity to meet new people and enjoy our cruise.
Over priced Princess excursions. We and just about everyone we speak to will not consider booking on shore excursions with Princess when then the ...
