Grand Mediterranean from Rome with Stay, 19 May 2025 (12 nights)

The cruise was excellent with good food, entertainment, helpful staff and good accommodation. The stops for visits were good and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Sydney and the visit to Vietnam. My wife and I have to say a BIG THANKYOU to Iglu for organising the excellent hotels in Sydney and Hong Kong and the brilliant pick ups by the various taxi companies. They were on time and excellent vehicles. It certainly helped to enjoy the holiday. Many thanks, Martyn and Marjorie Hadley

Had a fantastic holiday on board the majestic Princess, what an excellent ship but the drinks package is to expensive and the entertainment was a bit of a let down, some nights ok but others not so.

Cruised from Sydney to Hong Kong with one day ports of call in Brisbane,Darwin,Singapore,Vietnam and Taiwan.Scenic cruising on many of the sea days and ports of call interesting. Beautiful big clean ship.Officers onboard seen frequently.Plenty of activities if you wanted to partake.We always managed to find a shady area to sit on deck when we wanted,but not always in the main deck area where all the action was. We had a mini suite on Lido deck.Thankyou for recommending it Tina.Really convenient deck to be on.Stateroom was excellent,lots of storage space,comfortable bed and comfortable sofa to relax on. Found food to be good on the whole.We had anytime dining and got seated in a restaurant straight away most evenings.The self service restaurant was often crowded and difficult to find food and a seat. Drinks prices onboard in Australian dollars and expensive.We bought a premier drinks package in pounds before departure.It cost us £1896 for the 2 of us for 19 nights.Very expensive,not sure if we got our money's worth. The theatre is not big enough for the number of passengers.If you want to see a popular show you have to arrive very early. Crew very hard working,friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful holiday.The hotels in Sydney(Rydges World Square) and Hong Kong (Madera)were both very good.Transfers excellent.

We stayed at the Ultimo Hotel in Sydney situated in China Town. The hotel in my opinion is not worthy of 4 star rating and not suitable for the older generation, it is more like a backpacker hostel. Coloured our view of Iglu cruises organisation. The Ship however was good we had a balcony cabin on the 15th deck which was ideally situated. We have cruise with Princess since 1997 and we feel that standards are not the same. The crew as a whole were excellent, as we expected. However the standard of food has deteriorated and this was echoed by all we spoke to. Also on board expenses have rocketed especially the excursions. For this reason we booked through Iglu cruises and were not disappointed. We stayed at the Waldorf Stadium Appartments Hotel in Auckland and were really pleased with the accommodation and location. Apart from the hotel at Sydney we had a memorable trip.
