Brisbane Family Cruises Reviews

The ship was good, with many outlets for food and dining. Not too many children on board. Crooner's Bar was an outstanding place in my opinion. Staff and entertainment were 10/10. Food menu items reflected a more American/ European type of dining. Too much-pickled fish and meats. I would travel again on this ship but have my cabin more central as it is a long way from the back of the ship ( my ...

My Wife and I booked this cruise with a group of friends as a short getaway to get back into the spirit of cruising. While for the most part we enjoyed our little get away the Medallion Class app put a real damper on the whole experience. We found the app quite clunky and it wouldn't pick you up at times in the various areas of the ship meaning you would order drinks and they would never arrive. ...

Was so looking forward to this cruise. The cruise itself was fine, but we all noticed a decline in standards. I used to brag about the food on Princess cruises, but sadly its not what it was. Not just the authenticity/interpretation of dishes, but the temperatues and timings they were served at. Dress code seems to be a thing of the past too. The bar staff in the Good Spirits bar we frequented ...

The cruise itinerary suited my partner and I as this was our first cruise since the Covid pandemic. We wanted to experience life back on board to see if things hadn't changed to such a point that it would take the pleasure out of cruising. Although the travelling on board the ship from Brisbane to Airlie Beach and return gave us wonderful memories of past cruises the actual cruise ship itself was ...

We chose the trip for one reason - get back to cruising (Australia only reopened to cruise from Apr'22). Although a 20-year-old ship, it was spotlessly clean, well maintained and functional. In fact we would rate this ship above Ruby Princess, the last ship we travelled prior to pandemic shutdown. Staff were all fabulous - they are all friendly and approachable; they remember your ...

We wanted a relaxing short cruise to get us back into cruise mode for the overseas cruises we have booked commencing in August this year. Unfortunately to Check In on the Princess App was frustrating and stressful. It froze numerous times, quite often took ages to accept the info and move on to the next question and then several times lost the information completely and I had to start again, ...

We chose this cruise on the Coral Princess as we've cruised on Princess ships previously, but not the Coral. Also, very convenient to depart and return to our hometown so there were no travel/flight expenses. Great crew, very friendly and helpful. The food, as usual, was up to Princess standards. A couple of issues though. (1) We are very aware of the impacts of Covid but were not overtly ...

This was our first Cunard cruise, and we probably won't be back for many reasons, but I will detail the good and bad. Our sailing was Brisbane to Singapore, with ports Airlie Beach, Darwin, Bali, Singapore Embarkation in Brisbane was smooth and easy, the fishermans grain terminal isn't nice but I wasn't going on holidays for the terminal so wasn't impacted. My first impression was that ...

We have always wanted to cruise on Cunard and we weren't disappointed. Queen Mary 2 was just as we expected. Great service, great food, plenty of space and a touch of class. We had 14 days on the ship and the dinner menu was different every night. Our table of 4 in the dining room all enjoyed our meals and the friendly Maitre De, Elvis, checked every night to make sure we were happy. We ...

We only decided on this cruise due to the price. We were not looking for a cruise but this one "appeared" on our email and we could not ignore it. And we are sooo glad we didn't ignore it. Best holiday ever!! If we had stayed at home and ate at a Michelin rated restaurant every night, we would have spent more than the fare for the cruise- and missed out on the other meals, ports of call, ...
