Golden Princess - December 2019 / January 2020 Post 1

I rejoined one of my favourite ships, Golden Princess, in Melbourne on December 20th for a Christmas / New Year cruise from Melbourne, returning on January 2nd. It was extra special for me because my dear friends, Jules and Phil, came along as well. It was another fabulous cruise with the usual wonderful Princess staff, service and food.

Picton


Despite having visited New Zealand dozens of times over the years, this was my first call to Picton. Another beautiful New Zealand port.




Akaroa

A beautiful, peaceful Christmas morning in Akaroa.

Majestic Princess, another favourite of mine, arriving mid-morning.
