A welcoming ambience and innovative offerings create the perfect way to see the world
Recently returned from our 7-Day Royal Princess TAS/Melb cruise 30Nov-7Dec Sydney roundtrip. It was our 3rd Princess cruise & second of 2024, and our 23rd cruise in total. I make some points: - Embarking was very fast & we were soon on the ship after shuttle drop-off before noon, having a light lunch in the buffet before dropping our carry-on in our cabin. Our luggage was already at our room when we got there, so we were all unpacked well before sailaway. - We had a deluxe balcony stateroom mid-aft starboard on deck 10 (Caribe). Room was excellent & location, just aft of the middle lifts/stairs, was perfect for us. - We found the ship very much to our liking, pretty well identical to Majestic that we were on in March. - The staff encountered were very pleasant and very enthusiastic to please. Rarely was there any crowding, even with some poor weather which kept a lot indoors at times. - We had Standard fare only, so no drink or internet packages, but it all worked well for us & our on-board bill was within budget - Our cabin steward (Kevin from Indonesia) was excellent & our dining room waiter (Sernard from Philippines) was fun, friendly and did a great job in dining room (Allegro). - Always easy to get a drink or something to eat around the ship. Our waitress Cherry in Crooners was excellent, always keeping us hydrated. - We did breakfast & lunch in buffet & dinner in the Allegro dining room. - We thought the food overall, choice & quality, was mostly good, but perhaps there could have been a little more variety. - Our ports were Hobart, Port Arthur & Melbourne. We stayed on-board in Melbourne as the time in port was cut to 3pm all aboard, it was a very hot day and we have been to Melbourne a number of times. - The theatre shows were really good, as were the guest singers, including the Adele show. - We did many trivias etc (even managed to win one!) & enjoyed our time as a team of just the 2 of us. - Travelling as just the 2 of us meant that on this cruise we met a lot of interesting and friendly people from all around the world. - Disembarking worked well (very well organised) & we were soon back on land - Very pleasant cruise and we were sad it all ended so quickly. We look forward to our future cruises.
It was a great cruise. We met with several people from the cruise critic board, which made the cruise even better. We purchased the Premier package. It seems excessive; however, we won a seven-day balcony cabin cruise anywhere in the world during our cruise. This package also gives you unlimited specialty dining, drinks (coffee, soda, water, and alcohol), specialty desserts, and the ice cream parlor. Oh, it also covers the staff gratuities. This is worth every penny. We did a few things together - plan a cabin crawl with the people on your board. It is a great way to see different types of rooms. We were surprised by the side configured inside the room. I was so much roomier than expected. Or the mini-suite at the back of the ship that had a double-deep balcony. Each room is decorated with things from home. In your decorations, show your favorite thing about your town, city, or country. Also, bring a small token of your home to give to your fellow guests. On this cruise, I decorated with hot air balloons and roadrunners. Being from Albuquerque, NM, USA, we host the international balloon fiesta annually. We are also in the southwest part of the USA. Our state bird is the Roadrunner. I made hot air balloons and Zia symbol earrings and Route 66 shot glasses for the men. Food products can only be brought from the home deportation, so green or red chili cannot be transported. These are just some ideas for some extra fun. We also met for high tea a couple of times on the ship. Every cruise is what you make of it.
From the moment you step aboard, we want you to feel welcomed and right at home. And with attentive service from a friendly staff that knows what hospitality means, you’ll find your Princess® ship truly is your home away from home.
