P&O Australia & New Zealand Cruise Reviews

Having not cruised for several years due to Covid, it was great to be out on the ocean once more. The ship’s capacity is 2 600 but we were informed that there were only 1 600 people on board due to Covid restrictions. PROS Staff were obliging, friendly, happy and relaxed. Common spaces have been revamped and look fresh and clean. Food was good without being great. Could always ...

This is another cruise allocated to us from covid cancelled cruises way back, so just went along to clear out the backlog of cancelled cruises. Booked internal as usual and was worried about cabin after last two cruises on this ship. Asked cabin steward if cabin has any problems and they said no problems with water. All looked OK except for drawers stuck and not closing so hoped would be Ok. ...

We ended up with back to back cruises only because of old cancelled cruises thanks to Covid. Whilst on the Covid subject. Previous cruise on 20th did not see any covid cabins as with previous cruises and same with this cruise. So if it was onboard didn't hear anyone discussing or mentioning it, mask wearing on each cruise is less and less. It is still mentioned on intercom but nobody enforces ...

The 80s theme Cruise My wife and I grew up in the 80s and a chance to be reminded of those days was too good to pass up. There was also a cancelled 80s cruise early in the pandemic that we were trying to make up for. This was our first 80s cruise so we were not quite sure what to expect but some online searching to look at previous 80s cruises gave us an idea of how to pack and what to ...

Ship was previously the Star Princess, it had a new paint job and sat in Sydney for two weeks for staff training and some Australian updates ( think power points etc ). Ship is very impressive and takes approx. up to 3000 passengers. Our trip had about 1600. Things seemed to go wrong from the start. First Airlie Beach was gone from ports of call, no reason given about a few weeks before ...

Boarding very slow as usual, but same for all ships. Hard to believe they make you tip out your unopened water bottle before you can enter ship. Entertainment - a bit slack really, the ship crew show was probably the best show up until final entertainer Grant Galea whom was excellent. Ship singers and dancers two shows were OK, but male singer voice was not so great. Other late night shows ...

We originally chose this cruise just as a quick cruise to take our grandchild along for some time away, and the price was great. After booking discovered it was The Elvis Tribute Cruise, this made us a bit worried as not Elvis fans, and 13y old grandchild didn't even know who it was. But we were so happy with the entertainment by the Elvis singers and backup bands even our granddaughter ...

First of all this was supposed to be our 2nd Honeymoon vacation as 26 years ago that didn't happen, kids, work and morgages. P&O cruises cruises failed to reply back to us when contacted to make a specail occasion for our special event, that didn't happen, 2 emails, not returned. phone calls one after another was made, nothing passed through to the correct people, they will ring us back they say, ...

I have been on many cruises, however outstanding service on the pacific explorer - from food service, entertainment and housekeeping the explorer was great! A big thanks to Thomas Naulana who did a brilliant job in housekeeping - second to none. I would walk in the room after a clean and was extremely satisfied with this. Not only did he do a great job with this he also helped me with any ...

3 night Comedy Cruise to nowhere Many time cruisers on many different ships and cruise lines. Cruised with P and O once prior. Expectations were not high and in some areas this cruise exceeded and others very let down. Fine for 3 nights. Would need to lift their game for longer. This cruise was all about our 11 year old granddaughter and for her it was wonderful. Ship decor...absolutely ...
