How I remember this ship! My husband & I took this ship in the Caribbean just after she was made. The ship is one of the most beautiful we ever took and we have been avid cruisers for most of our long marriage. That Skywalker Bar really got rocking at night as a disco dance! Lights going and stars all over with the walkway to get there with GREAT music! An experience that will I fear will never be here again. Thanks for the great memories.
Already booked on it when she becomes the P&O Pacific Adventure; sailing from Singapore to Sydney October 2020. cant wait to get on...Great visio tour, thank you.
The Golden Princess was my very first cruise in May 2019 to Alaska. She was beautiful and the crew were simply wonderful. Thanks for the video as it brought back such wonderful memories.
Congratulations Stefan on producing another great, and well balanced travel video! Very appealing video and is very useful for anyone considering or booked to cruise with Princess Cruises - well done Stefan and I look forward to your next production - Maybe Voyager of the Seas!! Best wishes Christine Cole
Hi, your review is very accurate. I was on this ship 8 or 9 years ago for a 15 days Los Angeles to Hawaii cruise. So I can confirm your description. The Princess food is excellent (both complimentary and premium). I tried other cruiseline Royal Caribbean food and their complimentary food is mediocre at best but their premium food is excellent. The Golden princess has two large pools one indoor and one outdoor that I don't see in any newer ship anymore. I swim so that is a big hit for me. I really like the special events that Princess cruise organize that I don't see in other cruiseline like Champlain waterfall, theme cuisine (like japanese, chinese, indian, tex-mex, etc) in addition the regular buffet for lunch, and the midnight chocolate highlight. I rate Princess cruise as my top 3 to cruise based these cruise experiences.
I just had a wonderful trip to Alaska with Golden Princess two weeks ago. Thanks for bringing back a lot of great memory there. The food was really awesome, especially those delicious desserts.
Hello, thank you for this wonderful review of my favorite ship on the 7 seas. I love the golden, she is absolutely beautiful and I will be absolutely brokenhearted when she’s gone. I had to laugh when you mentioned how some of the crew found out about your love for hot chocolate, they have with me as well. Did you ever visit the promenade bar? When I was on the golden in December and January I experienced a wonderful service from a lady at the promenade bar called Hazel, she was Filipino and made awesome hot chocolate! I am going on the golden princess for my last cruise on her before she goes in January
The kids club is complicated as there is loads of controversy around filming anywhere near children and the kids club is always in operation. So the answer would be no.
Certainly is a wonderful ship, and to answer you question... I’m honestly not sure, at least not until late next year when I complete school. This video was a lot of work to make, but Ship tours usually do well on TH-cam so I will was willing to put a lot of work into it.
Cold hot tubs. Scalding hot tubs. The temperatures were never consistent, and you never knew what you were stepping into. Leaky roof dripping into the princess theatre during a show. Having to stop a show half way through because the moving sets broke down. Moldy tiles in the bathroom. Some absolutely atrocious entertainment, including a show that was a tribute to the music of Motown, WITH EXACTLY ZERO BLACK SINGERS IN THE CAST! It was like watching a 1960’s Catskills revue where the “coloreds” wouldn’t be allowed in the theatre. The white pride movement would love this show. How tone deaf could Princess be? Of all the musical styles they could have picked. Shameful. Food: They market it as high end dining, when really it’s no better than your typical banquet catered event.
Rick Ferguson yes I can agree with some of that. I had a three night cruise from Longbeach to Vancouver. There were definitely a few leaks including over the bed and in the wardrobe into my suitcase. The plumbing was very disturbing, the toilet brush was indescribable, need I go on, suffice to say that it needed to be completely replaced. The hot tub somewhere cold tubs and one was always closed.
All the covidius lockdowns in Australia will no doubt change the cruisers world now and forever "thanks to the virus from the slow action of W.H.O. " and china. All we can do now is watch these video's and remenmber.i feel for the crews and Captain's of these ships.

I just saw her docked picking up passengers in San Pedro like 2 hours ago. She must have sailed away by now!
She’s made some distance since the shooting of this video!

You're very welcome, love hearing people's stories.
Your camerawork has improved so much, keep it up
Thank you very much, that means a lot ☺️.
Very good video, it was very interesting and helpful

Only went to promenade a couple times, was mainly based at the international cafe. Hope you enjoy your last cruise :)
Great informative video thanks!
You’re welcome :)
i enjoyed the video and content may i ask what video editing software you used to make this video and other videos
Thanks for your appreciation, I use Final Cut Pro for editing :)
ah the golden princess, I'll definitely miss it when it change name. great experience in it. crew was wonderful ;)
It probably would've been an amazing ship when it was new.
I have actually just booked on her with P&O under the new name pacific Adventure! I’m so excited! We have a suite of a 14 night cruise 2020! 🤩
Just went on that ship, out in its current form as the golden princess
Can't wait to sailing on her in 2 years time!!
Still quite a while away which is a shame, but that's only going to make enjoy the cruise even more.
Amazing review!!!
Be aware of the bedbugs on their cruise ship, I was terribly suffered by bedbugs bites on Golden Princess cruise to New Zealand!
I'll miss this ship when it changes to P&O :(
Great video, Any chance you have footage of the inside of the kids club?
The kids club is complicated as there is loads of controversy around filming anywhere near children and the kids club is always in operation. So the answer would be no.
@@TooTechnical That makes sense. Appreciate the response.
It looks like a wonderful ship. Ps will there be a flight review coming

My friend working in the golden princess.
How is your friend going, with the whole coronavirus thing?
do the pacific explorer plz 👍🏼👍🏼
Team Matt Team matt have a look at review by lazy travel days
Great video stefan! The new camera i can tell looks better than the powershot! That looks nicer than my house lmao
Yep it definitely looks better, I also found a remove noise in video editing software which helps too.
@@TooTechnical yeah mirrorless cameras are the best for filming apart from industry-standard filming cameras
Golden princess is wan of da bests Chips ai Eva travel 😛😛
Just got off this ship a week ago after crossing the Pacific. I have a few issues!!
Rick Ferguson Well it does us no good to say you have issues without telling us what they are.
Issues? Let's have them off your chest. Speak, and be free! :D

@@rickyscot princess cruises is owned by P&O cruises and that is why P&O is taking it and refurbishing it!! Can't wait to see it done #2020
didn't thing much of the tour - it was much better than you portrayed it
You can smoke in the casino in North America anyway.
Ah, right.
