Bali to the South Pacific Cruise Reviews

Our first cruise - Bali to Singapore The plus points Good food in Aqua restaurant Staff excellent One or two shows good Lectures good The negatives Cramped cabin - could barely get past end of bed Tiny balcony - oils only just get 2 chairs and a table on it Cramped bathroom - Overpriced excursions False excision descriptions - eg - “small group walking tour” was ...

We chose this cruise because having travelled extensively both by land and sea through Asia we hadn’t touched on Indonesia other than Borneo and the itinerary appealed to us. Embarkation was quick and efficient and we were able to access our stateroom immediately. The ship was lovely and very easy to negotiate our way around it. Public areas had lots of seating and were all aesthetically ...

This cruise was cancelled twice due to covid, but we finally got to do it in January. We embarked in Bali, and was very impressed with the organisation and friendliness of the staff. The cabin, balcony, and beds were comfortable, and adequate. The trips were quite expensive, and usually ended in a shopping experience! But that isn’t unusual. A couple of days into the cruise, we were ...

We’ve cruised on this ship before from HK to Singapore a few years ago and had an excellent holiday. We can’t believe how poor the bar service was on this trip. Same in the dining room lack of bodies. I was left a feedback form from the Hotel Director Vlado, in fact completed two but no response so herein lies the problem. One day I counted 9 people awaiting service by the pool bar with one ...

BENOA PORT EMBARKING:Waiting area perfect and covered but the cruise should ensure a plan B incase of crazy weather. We finally boarded right by the ship in sweltering heat where kids and elderly were having a heat stroke under no coverage with long cues until finally at the last minute Banoa port staff brought out seats and had celebrity staff giving out umbrellas. I travel to Bali alot and know ...

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 ...

Beautiful ship with lovely staff and excellent food but the entertainment fell short of what we’ve experienced with Regent on past cruises. Constant changes to the entertainment programme. They repeated performances and also made numerous cancellations. This was a 17 day cruise with no deck parties and there appeared to be a lack of direction from the cruise director and his wife. The ...

We chose this cruise because we have wanted to see Australia and New Zealand and this cruise had a lot of stops in both countries. Another plus was having the opportunity to unpack once and having a home base to keep coming back to vs a land tour where you live out of your suitcase moving every day or two. Those were the top 2 important criteria. Embarkation was very easy, especially since ...

This Viking cruise was our first Ocean cruise. We took a Viking River cruise and loved it, so we decided to try an Ocean cruise. The staff and their customer service on a Viking cruise were top notch. The amenities on board, from the gym, the spa and pool areas were amazing. The food was so delicious and expertly prepared. The staterooms were very comfortable with a lovely balcony. ...

What a relief to be on a ship that actually has some culture, no casinos and no kids! Boarding was a dream no cues. No cues to get off and onto the ship along the way! The best of all, everything was included in the price, including never ending beer and wine at mealtimes. Yes, you pay for fancy cocktails and spirits, but that is not necessary unless you are an alcoholic. The ratio of ...
