what cruise date ?? was on her 25th nov to 8th dec seemed fine to me but may have depended on where room was etc

We love Golden and have sailed on her many times. In fact we sailed on Golden shortly before she moved your way. I don't agree that she is tired. Great ship! Enjoy your cruise.

what cruise date ?? was on her 25th nov to 8th dec seemed fine to me but may have depended on where room was etc

Was on her 12th of November to 25th of November 2015 Was in a Cabin on Deck 9 it was creaky there but again she was just fine

I felt a slight sway but nothing real rough etc heard some at back got sea sick or said it was rough but they were right at back I don't think was rough at all in my cabin heard a couple copped bad sea sickness after hoping in at Auckland they ended up off at Wellington so I was told I guess everyone reacts differently to different motions

I never got sea sick once.

Sea Princess=beautiful, great food,staff,amenities.

Sun Princess=beautiful,great food,staff,amenities

Dawn princess=beautiful,great food,staff,amenities

Maintenance being done all the time she's a ship, Rust Never Sleeps.

No blocked heads, no sewerage smells, plenty of breakfast, lunch and dinner choices. Only 2 grumpy staff and they were photo/arts people. Entertainment good, ports good. No ripped chairs, we don't sit on the back of them and we weren't looking. No threadbare carpet. Dodgy lifts,yes,but that's the fun of it.

Never saw a bucket catching water anywhere.1 rug rats nappy in pool, stupid parents. Plenty of room in pools and tubs. Never seen noro-virus.Didnt even know what it was till reading about it here.Embarkation and dis,no-probs,75 mins max.

So onto the Golden.

Nor did I :-)

We are so spoiled nowadays. When I first started cruising in the early 90's, I was sailing on ships that were nearly 40 years old, like the Carnivale and the Oceanic. Now we consider ships that aren't even half that age to be long in the tooth. Yes, every ship is rusty, the window sills are corroded, and there is some wear & tear. That doesn't mean the ship is in bad shape--that's just the way it is.

not good [on golden i take it] i know one of the photographers that was on it when i was on her left i think after a month for the break they get between cruises he was great , don't know if they changed all the photo people on there ? there was another that was great too but i don't know his name and unsure if he is still on her or not hope you don't encounter any more grump ones

Photo people eventually sorted it and all was good,the grumpiness probably cut both ways,my frustration vs their lack of professionalism,but having said that 1 person out of a team of ten is pretty good and the rest of the team were just brilliant.

The art people,well thats another matter,rude, and arrogant,one person in particular.

Mrs 2 so wanted to do a Julia Roberts moment,and come back and say you work on commission dont you,Big Mistake,really Big Mistake,as she had about $4000.00 to spend,never ever,ever again,will we even consider indulging any of the arts team.

But having said that 2 people out of 1000,HAPPY.:)

Sorry no this was DAWN.

The name of the photographer that was brilliant and went the extra mile to locate missing photos was Thomas.
