Australia & New Zealand Cruise Reviews

I have been on quite a few cruises and this has definitely been the worst, it was only a 4 night cruise and i had a suite but I couldn't wait to get off the boat. Everything on this cruise is designed to take your money, especially the dining. The free dining is so poor (buffet is terrible and extremely small) that you are forced to buy food just to get a nice meal. In addition to this, the ...

Singularly the worst cruise i've ever been on, and i've been many, with more booked this year. The good points.. The ship was clean and the staff were great - particularly the cabin crew we had. But.. The food was disgraceful.. All complimentary areas were cheap slop - heavily cooked mince or shredded meat pieces in sloppy vegetables or god knows what. And for a piece of fish? Cheap, deep ...

Wow, P&O, you absolutely ruined my holiday, 2 weeks and my hard eared cash down the drain because of your corporate greed for profit over customer satisfaction. We will never set foot on a P&O ship ever again. We have sailed five times with other cruise companies, namely, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity. Decided to give P&O a try as pricing was very competitive. What a huge mistake, it was ...

Staff on ship very serious and not very friendly. The carpets were smelly, There was water dripping from the light fittings outside the lifts on deck 15. Cabin stewards not very friendly. My suitcase had been gone through by cabin staff. Bed linen not changed. Rooms not vaccuumed , Mould on bathroom tiles. Strong smell of marijuana on smoking decks. (Deck 7) The smoking area on deck 15 ...

The hype about this ship led us to believe that we had chosen the perfect cruise. We were extremely disappointed in everything - cabin, food, and entertainment, the App. The best things were the pizza bar and ice creamery. The cabin was tiny with cheap IKEA looking furniture. The RH side of the bed, had a large drawer (part of the sofa reconfiguration) but it made it a challenge getting out ...

I had great expectations before cruising with virgin resilient lady. now i would never choose to cruise with virgin again. The absolutely "not user friendly"app that had to be used to make reservations at every restaurant for meals was a nightmare. i couldn't change my booking if i needed to add another person without losing the time i had booked i.e. If i booked for 6:30pm for 4 people and ...

After losing my father recently, we thought it would be good to take mum away for a few days. Disappointing is an understatement - Pros- Singers & dancers were very good Sailaway party and theme nights are good. Even though you cant swing a cat in the room, the bed was comfy. Cons- Ship is in very poor condition, paint peeling, tiles around the pool are broken, stains on the ceilings, ...

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 ...

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 ...
