Brisbane Senior Cruises Reviews

We were in a mini suite on Dolphin deck …we had water ingress through the balcony after rain but Mr Fixit came with his trolley and repairs were done asap . Well done! Our stateroom steward Romella was delightful ….our room was attended to while we were at breakfast without fail ! The bed was so comfortable as were the pillows. Lots of storage and hanging space and the bathroom was quite spacious ...

I’d wanted to do the PNG cruise, so when the bargain balconies became available on the Coral late last year, I signed up. The cruise left from Brisbane where I have family to drop me off at the port. Embarkation/Debarkation It was just so organised after the debacle I had had to endure at Station Pier last Nov. I was dropped off at 11am. My boarding time was noon. There were attendants ...

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 ...

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 ...

After two and a half years and 6 cancelled cruises, we were finally away! Originally, it was to be a 12-day coastal cruise ex-Brisbane. However, fate stepped in when that was cancelled and made into two back-to-back cruises. Sadly, that cut out out our visit to Newcastle and our much anticipated Hunter Valley excursion. Oh well, never mind. Apart from the proliferation of those damned masks and ...

I’d never done a cruise in Australia and thought this would be a good way to have a holiday without leaving the country. I hadn’t left Victoria since Covid hit. Originally booked as a 12 night cruise which was changed to a 5 night and 7 night cruise a few weeks prior to departure for ‘operational’ reasons. Pre-booked excursions were refunded and had to be booked again and we had a day in Brisbane ...

Enjoyable cruise, Coral Princess may be an older vessel, she is clean and her appearance in public areas outside and inside, we could not fault. Outside paintwork, varnished wooden railings gleaming, spotless decking, maintenance crew continually seen cleaning and touching up paintwork and wiping off sea spray. Our trip had wild seas and the areas of glass must be nightmare to keep clean. ...

We chose the cruise because it was basically the first Australian cruise post pandemic. It was sailing to all Australian ports so travel insurance was unnecessary and covid risk was minimal. There was a crew covid outbreak prior to the cruise commencing and Princess handled the situation very professionally. The crew were isolated and we were offered a full refund if we were ...

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 ...
