Australia & New Zealand Gourmet Food Cruises Reviews

Just off a 14 Day Silver Muse Cruise from Melbourne AU to Auckland, NZ. Weather was good (not great) and par for the course, the Tasman gave us a little bit of bad weather thus we missed Bluff NZ, our second port of call. No big deal, as we were being pampered aboard with staff that was so attentive. No ask was too big or too small. They and they alone are the outstanding element of the trip. ...

This was our 3rd cruise and second with Oceania. Our first cruise was to French Polynesia on Regatta and was cut short due to the Covid outbreak. Despite this setback, we were very impressed and pleased with everything, especially the food and based on this experience, booked our most recent cruise with Oceania again. This most recent cruise was again on Regatta. A 16 day voyage visiting ports in ...

Back to Azamaea after a few years gap. We were concerned by the reviews on CC for the Journey before we boarded. Totally unfounded, how people could write such untruths is not fair. It was a terrific trip. Good value with basic bar package included. Food was great with many choices and lots of FRESH seafood, vegs, fruits. Everyday dining room menu included steak , seafood, as an option and a ...

Im keen to try all the great cruise lines if possible and this Cunard ship was sailing out of Australia and returning to the same port at a time that suited our needs so seemed like the perfect choice for a nice holiday break. Check in was simple and quick, and we were allowed to go straight to our cabin once aboard which was fantastic. Ship is very smart, looks like a stately home of Art Deco ...

COVID UPTDATE: a friend traveling with us got Covid, Her symptoms appeared the 2nd day of the cruise, so she got in Ohio before got on cruise (3-5 day incubation period). Medical staff saw and put on meds to prevent needing hospitalization later, She has multiple risk factors to have a bad outcome if not on meds for Covid. She was put on 3 day isolation and 2 more days to mask then do ...

This is our second Silverseas cruise with the first being July 2023. The first cruise was an expedition cruise around the Kimberley region and was fabulous. We are still onboard the current cruise but I’m exhausted from arguing with the fabulous staff night after night about this antiquated rule that men need a jacket even on informal night. My husband is well attired in smart country club ...

My wife and I decided to try the 3 day cruise We didn’t know what to really expect. After disembarking we discussed and reflected in the fairest way I feel The staff were very hard working and the catering was managed to perfection .We did wonder how there were som many staff on board as many were from overseas. Pros: For disabled people it was quite functional The food ...

Just off Navigator last week. We are moderately experienced cruisers (~24 total), though this is our first Regent since the old Radisson Diamond in 1997. We enjoyed the cruise, especially the excellent service and staff, both in the cabins and in the dining venues. There are always some glitchy times in dining, and this was no exception, as Christmas Day simply overwhelmed the ship's ability to ...

I travelled from Melbourne with my Mother on a 5 night cruise to Hobart, Tasmania. We really enjoyed our time on board this cruise. Cunard's Queen Elizabeth is in very good condition and is a beautiful, well appointed ship. Embarkation was exceptionally smooth and I think we were onboard in less than 15 minutes. We had originally booked a Brittannia Club Stateroom on Deck 8, but I bid for ...

First time with Regent. Lovely ship and great cruise from Bali to Sydney. Cyclone went thru Cairns so all excursions cancelled at that port. Downgraded to category 1 so we really had no effects while at sea. Have cruised over a dozen times with others lines, first time with Regent. Nicest and largest room ever, plenty of storage, great room service except when we had to quarantine for 12 ...
