Sydney (Australia) Cruise Reviews

My wife and I took a nine day cruise up the Australian coast departing from Sydney. Biggest port of call was Cairns and a couple of smaller places in Queensland. My biggest error was selecting a cruise right dab in the middle of a school semester break resulting in hundreds of kids joining us on the cruise. While the ship officially holds about 3100 folks, a couple of times the announced number ...

I want to start of by saying this was my second cruise ever and I would cruise with RC again, Unfortunately due to circumstances that were most of the time, out of peoples control, this felt like a forgetful experience I also would like to say we had the key as well, meaning we did have priority with a couple of things Check-in at the Overseas Sydney Terminal can only be described as ...

Don't be frightened by this review. If you have already booked, you will not have a bad time on this cruise ship. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. HOWEVER, if you have not already booked, I suggest you consider another ship. The QM2 is aging and due for a re-ft later this year. There's a lot of rust and stains around deck, in restaurants and our cabin. It clearly shows the wear from all those ...

I haven't been on a cruise since 2016 and I wanted my sister Sam to see New Zealand as she had never been there. This was my 2nd cruise to New Zealand but different company. We went up the day before the cruise so if a delay happened it wouldn't stress us out as much. Our boarding time was between 12 and 12:30pm and we arrived around 11:30am and handed out bags in and then joined the queue to ...

We have always enjoyed princess cruises having traveled over 400 days with them but this cruise was a huge disappointment. We booked a suite thinking it would be a wonderful experience and we would be spoilt from start to finish during the 28 day’s onboard. On the positive side the concierge lounge and staff were fantastic, the happy hour was very social and the food and snacks were ...

Our experience with Carnival was very good, that's why we decided to go on 10 Days cruise around Pacific Islands - march 2023. Cabin, food, restaurants, was all as we would remember from the previous experience. Entertaiment, however - very poor, nothing good, boring and cheap. We purchased an apple watch (another remainder to ourselves - not to buy staff like this on the ...

Hey there, It took me a while to write this review as I had to calm down and make sure I was in the right frame of mind to write my review. For those of you that are diehard Oceania cruiser’s, sorry but you’re truly missing the boat. I planned my cruise for almost a full year as it was a Bucket list cruise (can never afford to do this Cruise again). Sydney to the South Pacific, wish I could say it ...

So I decided to do a three day cruise for my 60th Birthday with my friend, overall cruise was good. Staff in the dining area were very good so was the food and most staff friendly. We were in a spa Balcony and enjoyed the perks very much, variety of food in the Lido was minimal but the pizza was amazing, our cabin 1016 was clean and tidy although cabins are cleaned once a day only. TV was so ...

Our first time with Princess, having previously cruised with HAL, but we did not find this ship very comfortable. For a cruise line that, as we believed, catered to more 'senior' passengers, there was very little in the way of lounges to sit comfortably with a coffee and a book. Getting a table in a lounge for pre-dinner drinks was not easy - the very large Vista Lounge was open at this time to ...

A good cruise deal kept popping into my inbox - three week cruise from Sydney, three night stay in Singapore and flight home. It was on P&O UK Arcadia's world cruise leg from Sydney to Singapore. I had previously sailed on this ship some 7 years ago from Chile back to Sydney and had some misgivings about taking this ship again but thought that there might have been improvements in the meantime. ...
