Brisbane Cruise Reviews

My wife, daughter (her 1st cruise) and we had the worst Cruise experience yet. 4 visits to guest services the 1st day. 18 people on our trip, 4 families. 1) they made us book 2 rooms for 3 people. 2) rooms keys didn't work 3) confiscated my bottle of wine 4) I had a drink pkg, so I got 1 beer and then proceeded to Lido Deck where we bought 3 lanyards, and sign for them. 5) Gust ...

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unenthusiastic (except for a handful that were accommodating), food was pretty average and the rooms were clean but outdated.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 ...

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 ...

Ovation of the seas - was old , tired , uncomfortable and had very very disappointing food on our christmas cruise ---and no one from royal carribbean gives a damn- couldn't care less--don't want to know that their furnishings were threadbare in many of the lounges/bars and public areas --that food in cafe 270 smelt rancid, the bed was almost un-sleep-able, the entertainment was absolutely awful, ...

Luminosa is a mid-sized ship by today's standards; we found it generally clean and well-maintained. There was a small amount of vibration in places but very little engine or exhaust noise as found on other ships we have been on. It seems like a quiet, solid ship although we had very calm sailing and couldn't assess her stability. We found the air conditioning a bit cold for comfort in some ...

The cruise was a good value for monry. Positives: easy embarkation and disembarkation, well oganised tender to the shore, night shows were just OK. Disapointments: adult pool at the back was dirty, you could see residual oil on the handels of the entry steps, water very salty, I took shower as soon as I left the pool, never went back again. Buffet on level 9, one side of buffet was getting colsed ...

We chose Pacific Encounter because the itinerary included ports in Papua New Guinea that we were keen to visit and sample the culture. The check-in system at Brisbane Port is diabolically inadequate! After standing in a long line for more than 100 minutes to board the vessel, we eventually made it to our cabin. While we were unpacking an announcement from the captain told us that due to ‘civil ...
