Australia & New Zealand Cruise Reviews

Resilitent Lady is our best cruise ship we have been! Loved the food and people and service! Will cruise again recommend to our family and friends. We enjoyed all the restaurants! Hot pools were nice! Gym was good as well. Our cabin was nice but surprised they didn't give us sheets!!!! I was surprised about that!? Oh well this is our first cruise on one of the Virgin cruise line! We have ...

We choose the cruise because of the Virgin name and reputation. We booked it and received a good deal, including a bar tab. There was a great variety of Restaurants and healthy eateries, we felt that we were not eating the same food over and over again. We enjoyed the shows, we didn't spend much time in the cabin with all the things to do. The gyms and exercise classes are great, ...

I was nervous that the Norwegian Spirit wouldn’t be as nice an experience as Celebrity’s Equinox but it actually exceeded my expectations. Wonderful staff and service. Excellent food. Lots of fun entertainment and activities offered. Great basic drink package that included everything from martinis to Irish coffee, pina coladas and Coronas. The ship was smaller than the Equinox but nicely updated ...

This Australian vacation was planned as a break from the gloomy winter in Olympia WA in the USA. We began our cruise in Brisbane Australia headed for a couple small islands in the South Pacific. First two days at sea; This ship is showing its age. It feels very closed in compared with newer ships. The food selection and quality is below par. The servers are friendly and welcoming. I have ...

The suite was superb, the deck, massive. Aft cabin. Quite a bit of noise from the wash behind but I expected that. Cabin staff were superb, cannot fault them. With the suite came perks. Fruit bowls, snack trays and these were unnexpected. Large packets of chips and peanuts and chocolates. These went to our cabin staff so they were enjoying that. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud - just ...

This was such a great experience, with like-minded people. The entertainment was great, food also. Casino had fun vibes. You can party with the people, or just enjoy a quite time in your room. Staff were attentive and well trained. Boarding went smoothly as well. It was genuinely a fabulous experience. Highly recommended. (Note price includes: Tips, Food, Essential Drinks, Wifi (very basic and ...

On boarding the ship my wife and I were shocked to find our cabin would only be serviced once a day. This was not a cheap cruise particularly when paying in Aussie $. Royal Caribbean left this to the cabin steward to try and explain. Very poor effort on behalf of the management team to leave this to the cabin attendant. Surely a cabin cleaned twice a day provides a much more healthier environment ...

This Cruise was over priced and it absolutely under delivered, consequently we will never be sailing with Royal Caribbean again. As we have cruised with them on a number of occasions previously, we feel that the criticisms listed below are completely justified. The entertainment was extremely poor, (and that is being generous) nowhere near the standard of previous cruises we’ve ...

Oh boy, this is my first Prince's cruise, I have been a steady Carnival cruiser for 20 years, but this trip we changed to Princess. So after 2 at sea days getting from Sydney to New Zealand, the dreaded announcement came on from our captain that the call to the Bay of Islands (1st port-of-call) was getting cancelled due to weather, namely winds about 25kts. That the Majestic couldn't hold her ...

My husband & I booked the "Best of New Zealand: An Intimate Exploration Cruise of the New Zealand Islands" The dates were March 7th to March 21st, 2024. The trip traveled from the far south of NZ to the Fiordlands National Sanctuary, Ulva Island, and then up the East side of both Islands with 10 stops along the way." The cabins were beautifully appointed and the food was quite delicious. Sadly, ...
