November 21st
Today is the last day of our 30 day cruise. It will be a very busy day getting everything packed up and the suitcases weighed…we have had a good time but I can’t say it will be remembered as one of my best cruises. I’m sure others may feel differently.
I really do like Princess. The cabin is very comfortable. The food is TOO GOOD. Entertainment was good. The crew seems to enjoy their jobs. The Star Princess is a beautiful ship and although there are 2600 passengers, I have never felt crowded.
Sydney….It really is just a big city. I think most of what to see is outside of Sydney. I also think I was very tired from the flight that that might color my opinion. The one tour we took was to the Blue Mountains which was OK but I don’t like big bus tours. If it had been a more personal tour I may have enjoyed it more. Everything was so very expensive!!!
New Zealand…..The tours we chose were not very good. Very long bus rides and very short times for seeing anything of interest. Charlie enjoyed the scenery on the bus rides but one day we were on a bus for 14 hours..of the 14 hours, maybe 5 hours were actually viewing anything. If I was ever in New Zealand again, I would definitely do things differently.
Fiji…….Our day at the Arts Village was enjoyable. Other than that, can’t see what this island has to offer.
Samoa (Western and American)……Tours were OK. There really isn’t much to recommend in these ports.
French Polynesia…..Tour on Moorea was good..would go back. Tour on Tahiti was good but I do not like this island. Just a dirty, congested mess. Bora Bora…just leave me there and pick me up in 10 years!!!!! That island is my idea of heaven…
Hawaii….weather was not good…would have preferred other island instead of Oahu. Maui did not go well
Really did enjoy all the sea days. Played Mah Jongg every sea day.
Will be glad when tomorrow is over. Really am not looking forward to the LONG plane ride home.
