Sydney (Australia) Cruise Reviews

This ship has an open promenade area, which we like. There were lots of music and other events in this area which were very, very good. The evening shows were generally wonderful, with a few exceptions. The Princess singer and dancers were amazing. Our balcony cabin was just fine. We don't normally do a balcony but we enjoyed it on this cruise. The sports up top were quite disappointing because of ...

This is our second cruise on the Noordam. This November 2023 is the exact same cruise we did prior to COVID. The check in at Sydney was excellent. Five stars as they now stagger passengers arrival times and this was a huge improvement over long, slow lines in February 2020. Cabin: Looking tired. The bed was comfortable. The sofa was grubby and looked yuck. It was so worn, the cushions ...

We chose this cruise to see Fiji, but bad weather pushed us away from the Fiji islands two days early. Out of three planned days in Fiji, we only were able to see the Suva area and in heavy rain. The cruise made up for it with an extra day at sea and an extra day in New Caledonia. The ship itself is relatively new, so it looks fresh, but overall, it's appearance is average. I think the ...

I have previously cruised with Princess and Norwegian and for me, the Pacific Adventure is better. It is comfortable, relaxed, priced right and the food is generally good, though the breakfast in the Pantry is ordinary. The entertainment is generally excellent. The Marque shows are top shelf. Also tipping is included. Of course you are free to tip if you wish. I don't quite get it, that most ...

This was our very first cruise and we came back with a very positive experience. While we dont have a cruise benchmark to compare, it was evident that almost everyone of the crew we came across were trying their best to make our holidays what we wanted it to be - whether we wanted a party experience or a relaxing one or anything in between. We chose this because we understood Carnival was a family ...

We have sailed on some high end lines such as Cunard and Oceania. We are not comparing the Pacific Adventure with those as this is a completely different experience. This ship is great if you are looking for great value and a fun time away with family or friends. We felt that we got a fantastic product fo the very good price of this cruise. The crew on this ship are as good as any we have ...

To us it was very cheap. About 750 for a 10 night Noumea and Vanuatu cruise in an obstructed ocean view cabin. We were also keen to see what a winter cruise was like. Good value but marred in my own opinion by the adult homour in the shows even when kids were obviously in the audience. The food was okay and the coffee is good. The itinerary was good and activites well run. The crew are friendly ...

Just can't understand why people can P&O! They offer a good product at a good price and really they aren't much different than other lines we have been on. The food is just like going to your local pub for a nice meal except you don't pay for it at the end of the night. The entertainment is very good, the crew shows in the marquee are great and the music in the bars at night are ...

This was another cancelled, cancelled, cancelled past cruise caused by covid, but at least we got some obc spending money which paid for drinks and other items. We enjoyed the cruise thanks to meeting some other couples that we joined up with triveas and general company, this really is what cruising is all about. We only went to the Lido and other free eateries around it ( The Indian, BBQ, ...

This was by far the largest ship we had ever been on, and the longest cruise, so we were a little apprehensive. By and large the ship handled the number of people well - it was only the first day when everyone was out and about exploring that we felt a little jostled by the crowds. The other time was getting off and on at port stops. There were lines to get off, even as an independent ...
