Sun Princess, Princess Cruises

very disappointed that it cost nearly 2oo dollars for taxi to free light show in Hong Kong also Also the taxi to singapore airport picked us up at 1 o clock leaving us at the airport for 5 hours The good news is the taxis you arranged were very good Princess cruises looked after us and it was a good holiday

On 4th May, 2012, I cruised on this ship for 33 nights. I had priority boarding but a late booking meant they had no record of me. I was left waiting while everyone boarded. When I finally boarded my card did not work. My name was not on my cabin door for a week, then it was wrong. At least I was pleased with my cabin, it was large with plenty of storage space. It was marked on my ticket I was an Elete passenger but the officer in charge of Captain's Circle would only pass me as Platium. She implied I had not told the truth and I found her to be quite unpleasant. She would not allow me to have a British newspaper. Kindly one British Officer arranged this for me. The food on board was of a high standard and the crew were too. The few musical shows were a huge disappointment. Just one a week was a miserable offering. The only cruise I have ever been on, in 60 years, without a nightly show to delight. So many people to entertain with just a second rate singer or comedian was was a very poor show. The dancers from various ports were excellent. I was disappointed they did not have a professional dance couple for the dance lessons. What I usually find a highlight was a sad flop. Bless the lovely girl who did her best, alone, to teach ballroom. I have never seen such a poor show on any ship before. The ports were excellent and films under stars too. I enjoyed the ice cream and popcorn. In all it was a relaxing holiday although their economy on entertainment really showed. I felt it was unfair only Australians tips were included while the rest of us had a hefty amount added to our bills. I booked in UK through Iglu but was not told it was all Australian. I had no adaptor and they did not sell one on board. I could not even use the laundry as it only took Aust dollars. Brits should be warned it is Australian ship: to be prepared. A very few Austs were hostile, most were friendly. They could have done better and tried a bit harder. Just a bit penny pinching on entertainment.
