Sydney (Australia) Cruise Reviews

This was our first Cruise with Virgin. We booked 40 days out and straight away I had problems scanning my passport into the app to complete the check in. It accepted then rejected it. Because of this I did not realise that We could book restaurants from the 40 day mark. This was critical as we were unable to book 2 restaurants and the shows for 3 nights once on board. The vessel on this sailing ...

Our friends kindly invited us to join them on this cruise and we did enjoy it. We loved the show Persephone and was different to any other cruise line. I loved the hammock on the verandah so soothing. The Wake restaurant was also excellent. The Korean restaurant was not great - food not great and service was poor. In one restaurant I asked for some vegetables and they didn't have any.. was ...

to see what virgin was like bars have no atmosphere,not much service internet was good and handy,the APP worked good for us,some people strggled with their phone not loading to the ship,s APP? question did you travel with children,it's a virgin cruise (no) restaurants were hard to get into,some sour pusses on the front counter blocking people who want to eat,just get turned away the ...

The Majestic is one of the latest ships in the Princess lineup , so we thought we would give it a try. Embarkation was smooth and quick. We decided to bid for an upgrade from a balcony to a Deluxe balcony cabin , our bid was successful but we found out that the couple in the adjacent cabin just asked for an upgrade equal to ours and were given it (free). BEWARE!!!!. The cabin was ...

+Ship is beautiful +Food is generally good in buffet and MDR +Fairly good availability of sun chairs +Quick embarkation and disembarkation +Great ports of call -Drink prices extremely high. USD 11 for a 33cl beer and USD 18 or 20 for a drink. And those drinks where horrible. Tasted a bit of bitter water without even a fruit or any kind of decoration to make it attractive in any way ...

I chose this cruise to celebrate my birthday with my two daughters and four grandchildren. I wanted to do the 4 day cruise but could not justify the 20,000 dollars so chose the two day one. By the time you have converted the dollars to USA and paid travel insurance and the gratuities the cost adds up even for two days. The cruise itself was a lot crammed into a short amount of time. Long queues ...

I write this from the Rolling Stone Lounge on MS Noordam. A lovely time overall, the band is awesome!!!! but children under 10 running wild at 10:15pm in the rolling stone lounge with inadequate parental supervision is not my my idea of a good time. Precocious children spoil the fun for adults who just want to have a good time from an adult perspective. A few drinks and a bit of a dance is ...

We've always wanted to visit Australia and New Zealand and this cruise offered stops in cities in Australia (3 days) and several locations in New Zealand (the remaining days, not including 4 sailing days). We'd had great experiences with prior Viking river cruises, but this was our first ocean cruise. The overall quality of the cruise experience was excellent. The cruise was well organized. ...

We were really looking forward to this cruise to New Zealand but sadly left the ship very disappointed. We booked 10 months in advance as part of a 6 week tour of Australia and New Zealand departing from the UK. We had stayed on the ship for this cruise after we had completed the previous cruise around Australia and Tasmania. Our balcony cabin was adequate for our needs but the balconies are ...

This was our first cruise with Oceania and a small ship. It was great we could stop at places that larger ships do not visit. Staff and food were really excellent, but the entertainment was not as good or varied as a bigger ship can provide. Our cabin was on Level 7 (A1Concierge Veranda) and it was disappointing to discover our hand basin was cracked, the soap dish was badly chipped and then ...
