Brisbane Family Cruises Reviews

Having only done three other pretty good cruises, Super Star Virgo (05), Rhapsody RCL (11) and Aria P&O (17), I was not expecting too much after reading previous reviews. Embarkation was at the new Brisbane terminal which is a journey in itself but has coinvent parking if booked early and a short walk to boarding which was quite smooth, about an hour. The Coral Princess is a little dated but ...

6 of us from round the globe wanted to meet up again and cruise. As we had cruise credits to use up, we chose this cruise to avoid Europe. We stayed in cabin A216 with a balcony, near the front of the ship. The shower is extremely small, and water pours over the soap dispenser, making it tricky to get any onto the washer or hands. The fridge didn't work very well, but this was replaced after ...

Our first cruise back after Covid-19 The good - Medallion system is excellent and the phone application works well. Wherever on the ship we were we could be found for servicing drinks and food. All the staff were to the great Princess standards. The food and selection was great and we used both specialty restaurants and rate them both highly. Also the pizzas from Alfredo's in Sabatini's ...

We cruise every Halloween (and then some) and can always find something to eat that is different and nice. Not this time. We are easy to please, but....this was bad. I heard so many people making the same comments that I am leaving here, it was a common theme! The bad: The food was not good The "buffet" was extremely limited - and recycled. I know its a small ship but having 5 items is just ...

Have been on 19 cruise with Princess but this the worst ever. Besides the Covid which hubby got, and we do not blame them as a lot of protocols but could do better. The weather, we know beyond their control, missed three ports, but compensated. The real issue was the lack of honest communications. Got to Melbourne finally after three changes to date and change to itinerary. Meant people who had ...

This was our first cruise back with Princess since Covid. We have sailed many times with them before. Firstly let me say that the crew were great and boarding and disembarkation were a dream. (as usual) Our room was a balcony and was very comfortable although, as usual no sofa. The shower was tiny and allowed for no movement. Formalities to do with safety were quick and easy. Whilst we had ...

Booked this cruise months ago when the booking re opened here in Australia. Wish I had booked something longer as just settled in and then off again. 3 Nights way too short. The embarkation process was a breeze, much easier and faster than ever before. The crew were so welcoming and glass to be back. The ship was immaculately clean and empty. Only about 70% booked so easy to get a seat by ...

Our first cruise post - covid, and with a new cruise line for us. We really didn't pick Princess, it picked us, at it fit within our travel plans to QLD. That said we were very excited to try Princess, and we have a couple of Elite Princess friends. Starting at the beginning, the embarkation process was a breeze at Brisbane (the trip to the terminal though is less inspiring). The only thing to ...

We originally booked this cruise to have a break from work as my husband and I are self-employed. You can't help but relax on this beautiful ship. However, my head agency (I'm a travel agent), made this cruise our conference cruise. So this worked in really well for me. The crew on the ship are so happy to be back. They were so welcoming and nothing was a problem. They would all say "Hello" as ...

This was my 3rd cruise with carnival, it was a matter of timing, budget and location. The staff was great especially erin. the only complaint for staff would be one cook at blue iguana...more to come on that. highlights would simply be alaska itself. this was my first ever visit there.....awe inspiring. especially the glacier tour at tracy fjord. and the fact that the area had rain for weeks ...
