New Caledonia Cruise Reviews

We are a family of 5 (children 8, 6 and 4) and we travelled with grand parents. We enjoyed every aspect of the cruise, despite having some rainy and windy days. The only thing that we would have liked was for our rooms to be closer together as we all booked together, but we were still on the same level which was OK. My children had a fantastic time in the kids club each day, which was great ...

I've cruised before (even on P&O's sister companies) and can honestly say that P&O is the worst cruise line. First of all, their customer service needed multiple calls to change incorrect information they had put in our booking. The Pacific Explorer is a 1997 old rust bucket that is dated and has mold and damp smells on most decks. There are also other foul smells which goes through the main pool ...

Things went bad before we even left the dock. A passenger had a massive heart attack just before ship was to leave, this took hours to be fully investigated, man was removed from ship eventually, and unfortunately later died. Also heard that a teen had tried vaping and had an allergic reaction at the same time and presume was also removed. Thus ship left at 11pm and we were told we would miss ...

Firstly the entire crew were all wonderful helpful and caring. The food though was very disappointing. Breakfast the eggs scrambled or fried were stone cold along with bacon. Dinner and lunch at the Waterfront Restaurant had the same menu every night . The quality was not good. Dragon Lady and Angellos was the same. The only decent meal was at Lukes which we had to pay for. It was of the ...

We had never cruised before and had organised this with other family members and our three kids, youngest 14 and oldest 20. First impression was that the ship was amazing nicely appointed, clean and vast. We are at all three restaurants and were not disappointed by what was on offer, wait staff were friendly and attentive. The pantry was the new style buffet and was the go to for ...

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 chose this cruise a year ago because of the lack of local ships and the itinerary was Ok. However it was changed to visit Noumea twice due to NC government rules. Due to this, many people cancelled and the cruise was sold cheap and given away to many gamblers. This was the last of 7 cruises done on this ship in the last 8 months, so we knew what to expect. What we got was quite ...

We booked a group cruise with family and friends during the anniversary sale last year and were able to find a great price for two connecting balcony rooms for our family of 5. The cabin location was perfect, toward the aft of the ship, but close to the elevators. We loved the Spirit - it's a smaller, older ship but well maintained and everything was close. The elevators were all working and ...

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 ...
