This was our first Regent cruise. We have previously sailed with Viking,Virgin, Celebrity, Holland, MSC, NcL and Carnival mostly in suites. We are childless couple in our sixties and started cruising in 2018.
We are active and enjoy great food and drink. We always enjoy ourselves.
This cruise was disappointing from the very start. The ship is older but not well maintained. The crew was ...
My wife and I recently took a 11 night Aranui 5 cruise to the Marquesas Islands. We are glad that many previous reviewers had a great time on this ship.
There were some positive aspects for us including magnificent scenery, a good sized cabin and a few staff who did their best for passengers.
We found the cruise most disappointing especially given the price. Wish we had done more research - ...
Our cabin consisted of a bed for 2 people, the width of which was almost 1.40 m at the headboard and about 1 m at the foot (we had never seen such a triangular bed before) and a 2-door wardrobe. The bathroom cell was about 1 square meter in size.
We had to decide whether to go into the cabin or whether to put the suitcases in, neither was possible!
When we asked to change cabins, we received ...

Negatives
-Extremely slow wi-fi. We were only using it for work related reasons (no streaming, gaming etc.) but it a took long time for emails to pull up or attachments to open.
-We had free ...
We were so excited to go on this cruise as it was our first family vacation in over 4 years. We have cruised several times before and have always had a positive experience. This was the first time we had gone on a cruise with Norwegian, but we had heard so many good things about this cruise line I didn't expect all the issues we had!
This was the first time I have travelled internationally ...
We both with Norwegian spirit to sail to Tahiti and Bora Bora and other Polynesian and Hawaiian Islands. The locations were gorgeous the cruise ship workers we're very helpful and friendly. Norwegian Cruise Lines and it's management left a very sour taste in our mouths. On day two they begin to run out of alcohol mixers and products such as pina colada which for a tropical island vacation is a ...
We have been cruising for a long time and we were really excited to try NCL, but it was quite disappointing, considering how much we paid and in comparation with other cruises.
To start explaining, they keep adding service charges for EVERYTHING, and the day before leaving we found out that they were also charging a room service charge: $16 per person, PER DAY. Considering how much we paid for ...
We were for the second time on the Aranui 5 after a very nice trip to the Marquesan Islands in 2017. Our 2nd trip to Australis, on the other hand, was not enjoyable and a big disappointment. First the positive: the cabin (suite) was very good, but also cost € 15,600 for a double cabin with 12 days. Now everything else is to forget. The food on the ship was minimalistic. Breakfast was only from ...
The price was considerable compared to the value. The food was always cold with only one choice smothered in French creamy Sauces. Plaster was the only offering six days in a row. Eggs were not available every second day. The Scranbled eggs was like sloppy porridge..
The Marquaseas offered no Swimming or Snorkeling opportunities. The Islands were dry and Barron and uninteresting.
The staff ...
I am an Executive business traveler. We have sailed on 3 other high-end cruise lines with much international travel in my past, we decided to try PG Cruises. We were in absolute disbelief at the quality of this trip from start to finish. Even the luxury travel agents we met onboard said they would advise their contracted clients to CANCEL! Five detailed emails with photos were sent to the VP of ...
