Between January and March I enjoyed four cruises, over eight weeks, aboard Grand Princess from Melbourne to New Zealand and the South Pacific. Although now Princess' oldest ship, I really enjoyed her. She is very comfortable and well laid out. I much prefer her and the later iterations of her class to the newer Royal class ships. The service and food I received were excellent throughout.
