Diamond Princess cruise incl diarrhea
My 4th cruise but first ( and likely last) with Princess Cruises. From Melbourne to New Zealand and back - 14 nights. The agency rated the ship 4 star - but it is not - this is a 20 year old ship that needs a make over / upgrade. Positive things : Stateroom was nice and always good cleaning , staff very friendly ( though my cabin steward was a bit grumpy) Premium package was great at a good price (AU $ that was a good thing - also in the casino ) Medium : Food was okay but not more than that (desserts were great though) , entertainment were medium , seating around the ship was okay , pools looked allright Bad : time at stops ( especially in Christchurch - should be 2 days so you could have some long tours to the west to Mt. cook , Franz Josef etc ) , tournaments arranged on board poorly organized , Golf link is a joke .. not maintained - very bad quality REALLY BAD : that I got diarrhea from hotdogs delivered to my room - isolated more than 24 hrs - Princess so far not taking any responsibility ( it can only be those hotdogs) , no compensation - no investigation … That is so bad . This cruise had potiental to be really great ..
