We took back-to-back cruises from Brisbane to the South Seas islands followed by circling around New Zealand. We found the ports interesting and participated in ship's shore excursions in almost every port. Shore Excursions: We particularly enjoyed the Ekasup Cultural Village tour in Port Vila, Vanuatu, and the Relics of WWII tour in Luganville. For New Zealand we enjoyed the Hawke's Bay Wine Country tour, especially the Abbey Winery, a family-run operation with a wide variety of wines to sample and delicious accompanying "mini-bites". One of the highlights was a tour to the Hobbiton Movie Set. It's about a 1.5 hour drive from Touranga through rolling hills, pastures, little farms and the set and tour were beautiful! In Wellington we visited Zealandia and were able to spot many of the renowned NZ birds accompanied by a volunteer naturalist. This was followed by a visit to Te Papa, the museum of NZ. Both were very interesting. We felt rushed including both, but are glad we were able to visit them. Ship: The crew and officers were outstanding. We found bar service to be slow, especially in Crooner's. The ship is showing its age, with deferred maintenance everywhere giving the feeling of neglect. We are long-time Princess guests, and found this to be a disappointment.
We sailed out of Brisbane on the Crown Peincess in January 2026 for a 9 day sailing. This was our second sailing with Princess, our first being on the Grand Princess in 2023. This time we had a mini-suite with balcony on Deck 9 (Quad). The Crown Princess is an older ship but still very beautiful. The common areas were clean and tidy and the ship overall is still looking fresh. Our cabin was clean, comfortable and spacious, considering there were 4 of us. The beds were very comfortable. There was plenty of room in the bathroom and adequate room in the wardrobes for all our things. We didnt feel crowded or squashed in. So, no complaints on that front. The food overall was very good. We ate quite a lot at the buffet, especially for breakfast - it provided plenty of variety. Smoked salmon and eggs was my go to!! We also ate at two of the main dining rooms - Bottichelli and Da Vinci. The food and service in both dining rooms was very good. They had great deserts and good wine selections! Except for dinner on the first night, there was never usually a long wait to get in. We also at at both speciality restaurants - the Crown Grill and and Sabatini's. The food was amazing - high quality, with great service. I would recommend both. We also enjoyed speciality coffees, pizza by the slice and icecream at Coffee & Cones on the pool deck The lines for pizza and icecream were usually long but they moved quickly so you didnt wait too long. The crew were friendly and efficient overall. We never experienced any rudeness or attempts to sell us anything. We didn't see any of the shows or make much use of any of the entertainment on board the ship so I cant comment on those aspects of the experience. Embarkation was perhaps the only issue we had. It was our first time at the Brisbane International Cruise Terminal and it was quite chaotic when we arrived. Admittedly it seemed like a lot of people came early (including us) which likely contributed to this. However the lines moved quickly and we were able to embark early. Disembarkation was very orderly by contrast. Finally, I'll say that we love the Medallion technology used by Princess - it makes everything so easy, and is one of the many reasons to sail with Princess in my opinion. Overall, we had a great experience and we will definitely cruise with Princess again.
