My husband & I both enjoyed our cruise very much! Staff was lovely, activities & meals were wonderful. Really enjoyed the onshore visits in New Zealand. I am on a special diet (gluten free) & found my needs were met very well.
Looking forward to our next cruise,
Well done Princess Cruises!

This was the first time I had left from Barangaroo instead of Circular Quay which I thought would be a lesser experience but passing under the bridge was AMAZING I swear we must have missed the bridge by only an inch. Make sure you are on top deck for this.
Breakfast and lunch at Horizons was good, with proper cutlery and napkins constantly replaced by the attendants - which you don't see on Royal Caribbean for example, which had self-collect plastic cutlery on the Rhapsody. A little thing, but a noticeable difference.
The food at the grill poolside was also good though sometimes long queues. Food and service at dinner was excellent, the staff in my experience were largely Thai and Philippine and were very friendly and attentive. The Princess experience is a bit more refined and the staff don't break out into a version of the Macarena half way through dinner, thankfully.
The entertainment was good, we saw a dancing show and a comedian and a ventriloquist.
We had a balcony room which was clean and adequate, with a walk in shower instead of a bath. The shower and the room in general were quite small though. Your pool towels are placed in your room too so that you don't need to queue poolside to obtain them against your room key.
A great cocktail menu at all the bars at $11 each, we sampled many of the cocktails, they were all very good. Wasn't impressed with the choice of wine in the bars, but the wine in the restaurant was much much better. Shame they don't serve the good wine in the bars too.
The Sun Princess is a spacious ship without being too huge, its well designed so that you aren't walking miles to get from one venue to another which you get on larger ships. All round a good cruise and would travel on this ship and with Princess again.

Love this Ship. Been around Australia and to New Zealand in her. Let the magic continue. Balcony Cabin for us. Staff and entertainment can't be faulted. Food to die for. Friends for life with our ist sitting table companions. We love to come, "home" after a day ashore. Just unpack and forget.. Would love to do the Round the World Cruise as well.. Could quite easily take 104 days in her. Dream maker quality.
WOW.Loved It
