Grand Princess, Australasia
4
Writing has sailing around NZ enjoying the experience meeting new friends. Travelling with Princess after the pandemic is a little tedious with mask wearing is still in operation although not strictly enforced. The all inclusive deal is worth looking at drink prices are steep in my opinion £40 for the cheapest house wine a bottle or £9 a glass , draught Heineken £9 a pint and all drinks carry an extra 18.5% surcharge . Restaurant meals are hit and miss some good mainly average a few poor. Horizon court as a very good choice meals hot and tasty. Theatre shows OK most guest artists have been wanting, residents groups around the bars have been good. Deck loungers and chairs are plenty full. The entire staff as all way absolutely first-class. Lastly don't rely on the friendly shuttle bus any more cutbacks have seen them off. Overall we are having a good time but please be prepared there are many things you took for granted which no longer exists, Making up for lost revenue seems to be the order of the day. Overall rating Good, not Great.
