Sydney (Australia) Cruise Reviews

Positives: • Beautiful, new ship. The bathroom is excellent; shower has a clear, perspex, bubble screen. • The infinite balcony is attractive; the top part can be lowered if required. However, the bar across the middle is exactly at eye height when sitting and the glass is very dirty. • Entertainment for the first half was excellent; the second half not good. • Quality of meals ...

We have cruised on PO Explorer a couple of times, this is our 8th Cruise in total. PO Adventure is the worst of the lot! The menu is repetitive in the main buffet area, the desserts were a 2/10 very hit and miss. The Dragon lady restaurant that use to be our favourite ia completely different, main stream Chinese food and not unique or interesting at all. Angelo's leaves a lot to be desired. The ...

A friend at work recommended a cruise, in a moment of madness we booked through luxury escapes for 10 nights leaving Sydney for New Caledonia and Vanuatu. The ship is tired and showing its age, tattoos looked compulsory, probably with their room number so when they are inebriated they can find their way back. There is nothing interesting to do unless you enjoy drinking, belly flop competitions or ...

My recent 6-night Disney Wonder cruise from Sydney over New Year's was marked by a series of disappointing experiences that left me questioning the value of the hefty price tag. The trip started with a frustrating health check email hours before departure, requiring an internet connection to complete while trying to entertain a preschooler. Booking cruise activities proved to be a letdown, with ...

I heard great things about the service, dinner shows and wanted a little holiday for my family (sole parent and pre-schooler), and head the photography was expensive but worth it. Even though I pre purchased a photo pac, only ~12 photos were taken onboard (one at diner on night 3, and only two photos each character we managed to visit - as super hero’s didn’t have photographers). Luckily ...

If you have vertigo like I have, this is not a ship for you The ship is old and not heavy enough and wobbles a lot The rooms are so small, rooms and hallways smell horrible we complained unfortunately they only added chemical to the bathroom pipes which only reduced it just a little Also the servers at Garden Buffet are not professional We noticed most of them constantly are sexually ...

Oceania bills itself as luxury cruising with gourmet dining. It misses both those marks by lack of attention to the details that separate luxury from everyday. The very first impression is when you are checked in. Instead of entering into a beautiful lobby, you are herded into the back door by the Regatta Lounge. Instead of actually going into the lounge, a staff member briefs a group on the life ...

I am a Diamond member with more that 18 years cruising with Royal Caribbean. Captain Ryan did not tell the true story about sick passengers. returning the vessel back to Sidney. There was only One sick passenger smiling and shaking hands when getting out from the ship and lot of musicians that came out when we returned to Sidney on Day 3. NONE unconscious passenger as we were told by the ...

My family and I are Emerald Crown & Anchor Loyalty Members who have been on multiple cruise vacations with Royal Caribbean totalling nearly 60 nights. My parents, whom we travel with, are Diamond Plus Members who have spent more than 175 nights at sea. However our last two cruises have left us completely disillusioned and unlikely to book again. In December 2022, we travelled on an Ovation of ...
