We sailed to the South Pacific on the Voyager of The Seas. It was our first cruise with RCI and were not sure what to expect but we thoroughly enjoyed the cruise and VOS. I think the ship was close to full capacity with a wide variety of ages and nationalities onboard. There were many families on the cruise and except for a couple of children running through the Windjammer and around the pool area, and pushing in front of others into the lifts, they were well behaved. Of course there were a few rude and inconsiderate adults particularly around the lifts but overall people were considerate of those around them.

We walked around to the Overseas Passenger Terminal around 2pm and were ushered through to have our photo taken and receive our Sea Pass.Our embarkation was quite quick although we were held up in the migration/customs area evidently (according to a staff member who was checking cards) because of the large number of cruisers who didn’t complete their green cards correctly or not at all!. We had dropped off our suitcases about 10.30am.

Our muster station was on deck four outside starboard side and it was very hot standing in the sun for 30 mins, although it did seem to go smoothly.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony

Cabin E3

The cabin was big enough for the two of us with a king size bed, and a two seater couch.The bathroom was similar in size to those experienced on other cruise lines and I loved the shower door! So much better than a shower curtain. We were well looked after by our steward. I thought the bed was slightly hard but became used to it and slept quite well. If you don't have to fly in the port, I would suggest taking your own pillow(s).

We used the balcony which we found quite big enough for the two of us. I was surprised as I had read reviews that the balcony was very small.

Port Reviews

Isle of Pines (New Caledonia)

Beautiful Island but with a ship the size of Voyager of the Seas, it becomes quite crowded onshore. Tendering was fast and efficient.

Mystery Island

Beautiful island where the snorkeling was fabulous.

Sydney (Australia)

Sydney is a lovely city with plenty of sight seeing available not too far from Circular Quay. Public transport is easy to use.
