I spent 11 nights sailing onboard the #princesscruises ship, and came away with more than a few thoughts. From dining in Harmony and Crown Grill, to Alfredo's and the International Cafe; to experiencing entertainment including the incredible Water Fountain Show and the amazing production, "Fantastic Journey". Our cruise travelled from #Sydney return on its way to Queensland's Brisbane, Airlie Beach, Yorkeys Knob and Port Douglas. We also enjoyed a scenic cruise-by of Australian external territory, Willis Island. Large cruise ships such as the #royalclass ships have their upsides and down - and one of the unavoidable negative aspects just happens to be the sheer number of people onboard. With a capacity for over 3500 passengers, sailing on Majestic does come with some hiccups, most notably to do with tendering (the ship's water-shuttle service to take passengers ashore when at anchor). I'll tell you about my experience in Airlie Beach with my longest ever wait for a tender... Majestic Princess offers so many complimentary dining venues, with food available 24x7, that it's impossible to not find something you'll like. I enjoyed the huge variety of included dining venues and think they offer good quality fare. I'll also cover Princess 3-tier fare structure, Standard, Plus and Premier, and discuss the differences between them plus tell you which I chose because I think it represents the best value. Let me know in the comments what you would be most excited to try onboard Majestic Princess. Thanks for watching!
