Mini Cruise   0 , NSW, Australia, Mar 2024
Great way to travel back to Sydney from Melbourne. We were quite impressed with Princess Cruises. Fantastic shows, food and service. Well organised and loved talking to lots of different people at the shared tables which were always available at different times. You need to book at all restaurants if you want to sit with just your party.
14-Day New Zealand Cruise - Melbourne Return   1 , VIC, Australia, Feb 2024
Our cruise with the Grand Princess was absolutely fantastic and would recommend it to everyone. Our agent Hannah was simply great with our booking, planning, updates, reassurances everything was completed, etc. She was most helpful in every way and she was most appreciated as she will be with our next two bookings. Thanks Hannah.
Last minute NZ cruise   1 , New South Wales, Australia, Jan 2024
Last minute decision for a cruise from Sydney. Having been well served by Global Journeys on our last NZ holiday and having cruised with Princess in Europe, it was an easy call. Hannah promptly provided a great quote for one of the last suites available and it was arranged in no time. Communication was excellent and everything went smoothly. Cruise ...read more and weather was great and we loved returning to NZ. We are now asking Hannah for a quote on an Uluru trip later in the year. I have recommended Global Journeys to our family and friends when they are looking for a reliable travel agency.
Princess Cruise and Georgie     3 , Cambodia, Australia, Jan 2024
Was a brilliant holiday even made more so with the input and help from Georgie at Global Journeys.
Enjoyable South East Asia   6 , Australia, Dec 2023
The cruise itself was great and the reserve dining was fantastic. Great food and great service. Only downside was the chaos of boarding the ship in Singapore. This was a surprise because normally Singapore is a pretty efficient place but boarding was a total mess. Took hours and the system was a shambles. No priority boarding for suite holders and even ...read more luggage drop off took almost an hour which was madness. Once onboard all was fine.
Amazing first cruise to South Pacific     2 , QLD, Australia, Dec 2023
An amazing cruise - Balcony stateroom on 12th floor suited our needs (oh, and what a bed!) Plenty of restaurants, but our favourite was the buffets. Although you sometimes had to queue, the food was fresh, prepared and presented well and delicious with cuisine for anyone's tastes. Jacuzzis around the pool lovely early morning after a run on the track ...read more around the upper deck! A wide variety of 'movies under the stars' and shows in the theatre. Cruising to South Pacific over Christmas was great with a holiday atmosphere, plenty of bars to hang out at and top it with lazy, refreshing times at the Spa. We've already booked our next trip!
Another wonderful holiday: Cruise to NZ   1 , ACT, Australia, Nov 2023
Had a very enjoyable fortnight cruising from Sydney to New Zealand and back on the The Majestic Princess. Everything from the stateroom and the food comfortably exceeded our expectations, and staff were uniformly friendly, efficient and attentive. Good, varied itinerary, with the NZ Fiords a particular highlight. As always, Global Journeys did a ...read more flawlessly efficient job of organising things. :)
First cruise with Princess and won't be the last   1 , NSW, Australia, Nov 2023
Not knowing what to expect from our first cruise on a large ship , we were pleasantly surprised. Our cruise was a round trip from Sydney to New Zealand and this made the holiday very enjoyable, as we didn't have a long flight to get to our destination. Being a large ship, we didn't notice vast numbers of people, queues for meals, or disembarking ...read more or embarking the ship, tenders were a very well organized, shore excursions were terrific and all the crew had a smile and only too willing to help in every way.

Our cabin was large and had a beautiful view out the aft of the ship. There many activities to enjoy, plus the food was great. We enjoyed the cruise very much and have already booked another one, so if your in two minds of going on a ship with approx. 3500 people, give it a go as you may be pleasantly surprised. A special thank you to Hannah from Global Journeys, who always gives fantastic service and advice.
