Brisbane to Australia & New Zealand Cruise Reviews

We travelled with 2 others on the cruise, it's always better to have some friends to come along with you. We booked the GTY internal, but were given a virtual window, our friends booked a window and got given a balcony...lucky them. Been on Quantum a few times in last year, so knew what to expect and been to same islands many times, but love the islands. Our room was quiet and had a few ...

We chose the Luminosa for its convenient departure point of Brisbane, short duration, and excellent deal. We couldn't have stayed in an equivalent hotel and eaten as well as we did for the price we paid! We opted for a Spa suite, which, once you factored in the spa access fee, was pretty good value. The ship was almost full and we appreciated the peace and quiet of the spa almost every ...

as a first time cruiser I really enjoyed my experience on the pacific encounter as I had no exceptions going onto the cruise I was definitely happy with my experience. the staff are very attentive and truely care about providing a wonderful memorable experience whether it be the entertainment team, waiters, waitresses, bar staff, the list goes on. a personal favourite was the bingo and the other ...

We have done several family cruises with RCL, and started back in 1996 on Monarch Of the Seas - back when food was sublime, and you were not nickel and dimed for everything. Over the decades, we have cruised with RCL a few times when travelling with family. Our fav has been Oasis. Quantum - Our family all had Junior Suites. The size is good, however - beds are rock hard, and there is very ...

Old, run down cruise ship. Most of the staff were unenthusiastic (except for a handful that were accommodating), food was pretty average and the rooms were clean but outdated. Issues with tenders being released from the ship to port caused massive delays - I really enjoyed sweltering in the hot sun for over an hour. The best part was the lack of entertainment for adults. There were three ...

The ship lacks activities, extremely under staffed, you will find a hard time getting a drink almost everywhere in the ship. I cruise with RC all the time and this is by far the worst of their ships. From the poor service, to lack of activities, it’s just a horrible choice. Put in mind i booked a suite, I can’t imagine the lesser cabins are going through. The pool is extremely tiny and ...

Chosen as something different for family Xmas get together it was priced well for our whole family of 13 including 2 elderly parents. Having read the bad reviews pre booking, it was felt anything above that is a bonus and so pleased we ignored them.. right from ease of boarding, a wheel chair offered for a parent with some walking disability to get them through quickly. The rooms were clean, room ...

I have cruised 10 or more times now on various different ships and cruise lines. I am usually a fan of the Carnival brand, however not on this ship. It lacked in so many areas compared to other ships. Lack of bar staff around common areas and dinning room. Dinning room lacked in service. Getting drinks at desert time and inconsistent food servings. Lack of general cleaning around ...

The Christmas cruise on Carnival Luminosa was expected to be very busy and full of families. As a family ourselves, we had a good time but felt some areas could be improved that are within the control of the crew. But I start with the positives: Good: 1) The cabins were very good, with lots and lots of storage space, clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. 2) The onboarding ...

this cruise was meant to be a CHEAP excursion into the type of holiday.1500 dollars for two people 3 days local sailing with all inclusive but the truth became pretty obvious very quickly. NOTHING Of value is included. your included meals are very basic with 2000 people standing in a que for half an hour like a line in a jail movie. then the pleasure of walking around for 15 mins to find a table ...
