My partner and I just got off the Pacific Explorer - Kimberley Adventure - 8th - 17th April 2023 with P&O Australia. I've noticed there's not many reviews of P&O Australia and this makes is really hard for fellow cruisers to make a proper informed choice on whether to book. I'd like to state that this was purely our experience and I'm sure others had a very different opinion. We've been on other cruises before but this one has been the worst - by far. We felt it was important to put our experience out here.
For starters, this was not a cruise we had picked ourselves. My family were interested in taking a family holiday but did not feel like flying over East. Unfortunately in Western Australia we are extremely limited to what cruises are available and my parents chose this one. Due to the short notice, we could only afford an interior room with no drinks package.
The Ship:
Our interior room was small but relatively clean. The shower felt gross and the aircon leaked water on the floor but these were problems we were okay with. My parents however found a large poop in their cabin on arrival. My sisters peephole in the door was see-through from both sides and we had to request blue-tack to stick on the inside for privacy.
