Creator's Key Takeaways

This start to the cruise had gone from incredible to very flat, and we decided to turn in and get some sleep.

We were beginning to wonder whether this cruise was going to turn out to be a disaster.

We are cruisers that consider the cruise ship and line to be just somewhere to sleep whilst we travel slowly between exciting destinations.

The ship cast off from the keyside, and the excitement built. Passengers flocked to the deck balconies and in a perfect moment, the sun was setting.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Reserve dining in advance to avoid horrendous queues or being forced into the buffet.
βœ“Use the recorded destination briefings on the in-room TV to prepare for ports.

Dining reservations β€” Don't make a schoolboy mistake and not reserving dining, as walk-in queues can be massive.

Join us as we embark on our incredible South Pacific adventure aboard **Crown Princess** from the spectacular Sydney Cruise Terminal! πŸš’πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί In this honest, no-holds-barred cruise review, we take you through the entire embarkation process, share our first impressions of Crown Princess, and show exactly what it's like during the first two days at sea. From sampling the food and drinks (including cocktail reviews requested by our subscribers 🍹), to enjoying live music, theatre productions, quizzes, Tai Chi and all the onboard entertainment, we give you a genuine look at life onboard. It wasn't all plain sailing though! Our first couple of days were affected by issues with our cabin, and we explain exactly what happened and how it impacted the start of our holiday. As always, we share both the positives and the negatives, so you can decide whether Crown Princess is the right cruise ship for you. We also experience our first Formal Night, take you around the ship, and look ahead to the exciting ports of call we'll be visiting during our South Pacific cruise.
