South Pacific Cruise Reviews

My wife and I absolutely loved all aspects of the brief holiday trip onboard the Resilient Lady. The attention to detail from the outstanding meals, at a wide variety of restaurants (our favourites being Extra Virgin, Razzle Dazzle & Pink Agave), to the extraordinary effort the wait staff went too, to make each and every sailor feel special is something I have not seen in my 40 years of cruising. ...

Great service, fabulous immersive entertainment plus a wide choice of specialty fine dining all included. Cabins are clean and comfortable as you would expect with a new ship. Plenty of outdoors areas to relax in the sun although the wind can be a problem at times. Indoor public areas could be limited in bad weather. Virgin voyages come at a premium price, but you will not be nickeled and ...

Virgin was advertising with new cruises in Australia, so we thought let's try its, as we been on many (10) cruises (80% are Princess Cruises). There is nothing where we could pick on, all the staff are carrying a warm hart, the food has a big WOW factor we could eat that everyday, one restaurant that was jumping out was the Test Kitchen different but yammy. The service on board was excellent, we ...

The ship is less than 12 months old and as you'd expect it's in immaculate condition , we had an Interior cabin it's much larger compared to other Interior Cabins we've had with P&O , Carnival , MSC & Princess . The food is truly next level , I've cruised with the Lines I've mentioned above but Virgin's food is certainly out in front ! , cruise Staff I've found excellent on all cruise lines and ...

The good: We lucked out with the calmest seas in Feb cyclone season. RC shore visits in Noumea, Mystery and Port Vila. Expensive but well run. The insanely blue water of Mystery island. The beauty of New Caledonia and Vanuatu itself. Staring at the ocean ( an ocean view is a MUST!! ) Realising just how BIG the ocean really is. Well appointed and liveable room. Gym ...

Having being one of the few that was lucky enough to get the cruise on Velocity Points, we were looking forward to seeing what this Cruise Line offered compared to others. The ship itself is absolutely beautiful. The layout of the ship is completely different, I think due to the fact that there is no main dining room and there is also no central broadwalk. The entertainment areas are a lot ...

What a hoot.................but only for 5 days. couldn't repeat the shows (btw don't ask us to write a plot summary of any of the shows - lol). very inflexible with any food tweaks even though they ask before every meal if you have any food allergies. asked for a simple salad or a bowl of veggies some nights or to adjust the cream content of a rich meal and the answer was always a no no no!!! ...

I had a great time on this cruise, I was a solo traveller and everyone was really nice and friendly. I'd recommend the solo traveller meet up held on the first few nights. A few things I noticed tho. The Evian water package that cost me AUD$40 (pre cruise discount) turned out to be cheap supermarket water that would cost AUD$10, see pic. There weren't water fountains to fill up water ...

My review of our Resilient Lady sailing from Feb 22-27. We had an absolute blast on this ship! Almost everything was top-notch, from the ship itself to the food to the cabin to the staff. The staff (ranging from stewards to Happenings cast to servers in the restaurants and Galley) were all delightful, energetic, and seemed genuinely happy to be there. I loved all the cool design elements in the ...

This was my seventh cruise with Royal Caribbean (Second on Quantum) and I have cruised with three other lines so I could claim to be a seasoned cruiser to a degree. First the good: Great friendly cabin and waiter staff (with one exception). Junell and Eugene in the main dining room were excellent while supervisor Rolston was very competent. Edgar looked after our room very ...
