Had a wonderful time exploring New Zealand north and south islands. Visited a Maori living village and learned about their culture. The country is so varied and the people very friendly. Cruising Fiordland was much like Norway
We arrived in Athens for a 7 night cruise, on arrival at the ship it look so impressive.
We have sailed with Princess on other occasions, but this ship was a monster, with 30 different places to drink or eat. It was very clean and the staff always hapoy and willing to assist.7 nights does not give you enough time to actually use all the facilities, with over 4000 guests, it never felt over crowded.
Thanks to all the crew for a fabulous cruise.
This was our very first cruise, and the Sun Princess was a wonderful ship to be on. Our room steward could not do more to help us with little requests and advice. The food in the eatery was great, and even in the main dining room we never struggled to get a table even without pre-booking.
Definitely recommend, the staff could not do enough for us
We really enjoyed our cruise, the itinerary was good and ticked off a lot of places we hadn’t visited.The ship was very nice, clean and well maintained. Food was great in both the buffet areas and in the restaurant. Entertainment also good
We had an 11 day cruise rome,naples ,messina,malta,kotor,Splitz.and corfu back to rome.A really good itinerary nice 2 days in Malta.Corfu was great.
The food on board was excellent, the entertainment was good especially the guest performers.The quizzes were ok.
There was not any guest speakers which is somthing We enjoy .
Service through out was excellen.
It was our first cruise. We went with Princess because we had heard such great reviews we were not disappointed the cruise was Brilliant. If you are thinking of cruising go with Princess. We are thinking of cruising again soon.
