Auckland to Australia & New Zealand Cruise Reviews

I had great expectations before cruising with virgin resilient lady. now i would never choose to cruise with virgin again. The absolutely "not user friendly"app that had to be used to make reservations at every restaurant for meals was a nightmare. i couldn't change my booking if i needed to add another person without losing the time i had booked i.e. If i booked for 6:30pm for 4 people and ...

Embarking on our first-ever cruise with Virgin Voyages aboard the Resilient Lady, my expectations were high, but what I experienced exceeded even those lofty standards. Let me start by saying, "WOW!" Virgin Voyages has set a new benchmark for cruising, and I can't help but sing its praises. 1. Email Communication: From the moment we booked our cruise, Virgin Voyages impressed us with timely and ...

The hype about this ship led us to believe that we had chosen the perfect cruise. We were extremely disappointed in everything - cabin, food, and entertainment, the App. The best things were the pizza bar and ice creamery. The cabin was tiny with cheap IKEA looking furniture. The RH side of the bed, had a large drawer (part of the sofa reconfiguration) but it made it a challenge getting out ...

did this trip four years ago same ship different ports all tender ports missed ,food quality no where what it was, cost cutting all across the board...the room stewards have to attend to even more rooms and dining room staff are less...trivia in the overcrowded small bar down stairs deck two opposite the casino not in crows nest any more...waited for shore days for a beer as two to three for the ...

My wife and I sailed from Auckland to Sydney on the Celebrity Edge in February 2024. We have been on multiple cruises with NCL, RCL and Princess but this was our first on Celebrity for our second New Zealand sailing (first was on the NCL Jewel). Our cabin was a CS (Celebrity Suite). We had a very positive experience, and even booked another Celebrity Edge Cruise in Alaska before we debarked the ...

We are veterans of Azamara and the R ships having sailed on them for 25 years. The cruise did not disappoint. The itinerary was what we wanted with a lot of late nights and overnights in ports and days at sea on the back end. We were part of the World Cruise on the Onward. The usual things that we love about Azamara were terrific 1. surperior service for the crew from our butler to the Captain. ...

We were on several previous Azamara cruises, and this was our first time on the Onward. However, we think we were on this ship before, when it was part of Princess. We thought that an Azamara cruise was an ideal way to see both New Zealand and Australia. What we didn't realize was that we were sailing on a segment of a "world cruise" and about a third of the passengers were on the much ...

We were very excited to board the Celebrity Edge for our post-wedding cruise. We had recently been on one of the millennium-class ships, but the new edge class looked so much more impressive and appealed more to our sense of style. In anticipation we had watched all kinds of videos, and read all kinds of reviews on what to expect. In person it is just as stunning as we had expected, and the ...

We are a couple who joined two other couples chose this cruise because it started and ended in Auckland NZ. We have done around 20 cruises including three half world cruises over 30 years from Ponant to Paul Gaugin through Cunard, Sun Line, Carnival, P & O (UK), Princess and Celebrity. At 3000 passengers it was the largest ship we had been on (our other cruises were all on 2000 or less ...

This was my second Viking Ocean cruise so obviously I liked my first one. For reference, I would classify Viking as perhaps a rung below lines like Silversea and Regent, but above Oceania or Celebrity. This was my first visit to this part of the world, and generally it was an excellent cruise with a few hiccups here and there. I probably preferred my first Viking cruise to this one for a few ...
