Golden Princess Review
Pacific Adventure Wiki
Princess Cruises Golden ship is a Grand-class liner, with (same-designed) sisterships Grand and Star (now Pacific Encounter). The other (similarly-designed) vessels from this class are the Princess ships Caribbean, Crown, Diamond, Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire. Ship's godmother was Merlisa George - at that time 'Miss USVI' (US Virgin Islands). The inaugural cruise (maiden voyage) started on May 16, 2001 (UK to Mediterranean itinerary from Southampton to Barcelona). Fan fact is that in the period 1993-1997, under the same name (Golden Princess) was chartered the ship MV Boudicca (Fred Olsen).
In December 2019, the liner became fleet's first Australia-based vessel (leaving from homeport Melbourne Victoria) with installed MedallionNet technology. Also in 2019, the innovative technology was installed on the fleetmates Coral (April), Island (May), Crown (June), Emerald (August) and Sky (October).

According to the company, the longer than usual repositioning cruise was created due to demand from Asian customers wishing to embark closer from home and go all the way to Alaska, instead of just booking the 7-day 'Alaska Grand Adventure' itinerary. It also appealed to Asians as the route linked many Asian ports famous for their themed activities and local cuisine.

Write a ReviewShip Review: Our 'VISTA' SUITE was very disappointing. There is an OBSTRUCTED 'VISTA' which our agent did not tell us about. Plants for good luck. (Nor does the Princess web site indicate.) The layout is awkward, the verandah very small and dificult to navigate becase of a large steel support beam. The bathroom is poorly designed, at best; poor lighting (difficult to see your face when shaving) with absolutely NO SHELVING or storage space, even though there is pleanty of room for these important items. Had we known this we would NOT have booked this suite. And whose idea was it to place the LIBRARY and INTERNET CAFE right next to the extremely noisy PIAZZA? Every venue throughout the ship is overly amplified; does Princess think we are all hard of hearing? Food just OK, excellent service. We had to request fresh flowers and fruit when they should have been provided for us. Although Princess is our cruise line of choice, we cannot recommend this ship. | By myShips Facebook User | ||||||||||||||
