All aboard for Oz SHIP-SHIP HOORAY!

I'm not a big fan of boats, so I've always been a bit sceptical about going on a cruise. However, when I was offered a trip from Perth to Adelaide on the Majestic Princess, I was intrigued. The ship is a floating palace complete with two swimming pools, eight jacuzzis, a luxury spa, 1000m² of shops, and countless bars and restaurants- pretty much all of my favourite things, along with a sea view, so surely it was worth a try?

The first thing I noticed when I boarded the ship in Fremantle was what a slick operation the Princess team runs. There is one crew member for every 2.5 guests, so there's no floundering around, waiting to find someone to help you. My documentation was assessed in a flash, my luggage whisked away and I was swiftly adorned with a medallion that not only got me into my room, but also connected me to on-demand food and cocktail delivery.

The ship (I'm advised you never call it a boat) really is magnificent and gigantic, with 1780 guest rooms. I have no sense of direction, so I was convinced I would spend most of the time wandering around aimlessly. But I needn't have worried - there are interactive maps everywhere that connect to your medallion, telling you where you are and how to get to your preferred destination. The medallion also locates friends and family for you too if they agree to it!
