New Zealand cruise Feb 2026 0 , NSW, Australia, Feb 2026
What a great trip. The onboarding process by Princess was very well organised. The food was very good both in the buffet and Dining rooms .Our cabin steward was excellent in attending to our needs. The trivia shows on board were excellent and were very well attended. When it came to the use of water tenders the crew were were very attentive and helpful read more in getting passengers on and off as seas were a little choppy.. From a tour perspective these ere very good in respect of those which we went on. This cruise gave a good insight into the North and South Islands and going into the fjords and Milford sound was a photographers dream. A cruise to be recommended.
Lovely New Zealand 1 , NSW, Australia, Jan 2026
Cruise around NZ organized by Grace at Global.. She's knowledgeable and efficient. Our cruise was relaxing and interesting. Princess cruise. Unfortunately we didn't get to Tauranga because of weather and the port was closed , so we didn't get to the hot springs of Rotarua. Fiords were magnificent and other optional tours interesting.
Cruise to Fiji 0 , NSW, Australia, Jan 2026
We had a wonderful time on Discovery Princess. A beautiful cruise ship that met all our expectations. Fiji was wonderful and we hope to go back there soon. A special thanks to Georgie for organising another great holiday.
13 Nights to Fiji on Discovery Princess   0 , NSW, Australia, Jan 2026
We sailed from Sydney early in January 2026, bound for Fiji which we had not sailed to before, nor had we sailed upon the Discovery Princess. As with the Royal Princess, the staff could not have been more friendly and helpful in any situation. The food on board was fabulous, particularly in the main dining rooms. As always the upper deck (bistro) eatery read more was always busy, but the variety of food was amazing. I was surprised to find more entertainment options around the ship and we were lucky enough to have had an Irish Duo singing in the Irish Pub. Rory and Roisin were fantasic. We sailed into Suva and Lautoka and did a self guided walk around these towns. Our third stop at Denarau Island was cancelled due to berthing issues at this location, but this was quickly changed to Mystery Island (Inyeug Island) which is part of Vanuatu. This was a gorgeous stop and was a great alternative. The island is only 1.5km long by 200m wide, so was fairly busy with a few thousand tourist lobbing there. Back on the ship for the trip home, I found the Retreat (over 18's only), which had a nice - if shallow plunge pool. Overall, a very enjoyable trip, made even better with meeting great people. Cheers
Japan 1 , BC, Canada, Jul 2025
The service I received was excellent. The boat is divine. The ports aren't that interesting, they're more like abandoned villages.
