South Pacific Cruise Reviews

This was a fantastic 35 day cruise. Everything was not perfect but nothing in life ever is. We flew into San Diego a day early and stayed at the Wyndham Bayside hotel that is right across the street from the pier. The next morning we went right across the street to board the cruise. They were calling 4 and 5 star mariners first. Since we were 4 star we went right in. We had to wait ...

Chose this cruise to enjoy with first time cruising friends. Balcony room (4D) cabin port side aft. Extras Paid for 1, Wifi package 7 days. Was good enough and dropped out now and then. Should be free. 2, Drinks package. Recommended as drinks could have got costly. Sometimes staff seem to be on a go slow instruction and avoid eye contact and take a long time to serve. 3, Noumea - ...

Was just off Brilliance of Seas, so decided to try out Resilient Lady whilst still in Sydney. Took 2 cruises. Cabin was huge. Ocean view and I liked it better than second cruise, with balcony. Hammock on balcony was different and encouraged me to use it. Food was excellent in Galley. Loved the Bento box area with fruit at breakfast and sushi later. I took a box of fruits to fridge in cabin ...

We have only cruised with Celebrity Cruises (10 cruises to date) but decided to give Virgin Voyages a try as they were offering some great deals in late 2023 and we are a bit jaded with the nickel and diming that is going on at Celebrity (prices increases while reducing services without notice or compensation in some cases). Sailed for 4 nights Sydney - Burnie - Sydney and overall we enjoyed ...

The unlimited selection of food which often changed each day was amazing. Food options open till 2 am made it very convenient all cruise long. All staff were very helpful and friendly. The pool size and areas were underwhelming (not large enough). There was no map to follow along the journey particularly when the internet wouldn’t allow for such tracking. Overall an amazing experience, would ...

The crew have been handpicked for the ultimate world cruise and it shows. They are bending over backwards to bring unique experiences, cultural shows, destination briefings, etc. The company has created some frustrations through inconsistent policies towards people doing same types of sailings (ex, offering discounts to those paying in advanced but not applying this equally to clients), and on ...

I chose this cruise as I wanted to return to cruising after a long break with health issues and the pandemic. It offered an opportunity to revisit some ports which I hadn't seen for about half a century at a reasonable price. It was a good time to go, as it was outside school holidays, although the time of year meant that in the tropical locations visited there was a strong possibility of ...

We've cruised to the Pacific before and we have cruised with pre-pandemic Princess so this will be both an honest and (hopefully) informed review. Overall I feel Majestic Princess hits its mark as a premium cruise line. There are some little oddities with the ship, primarily as a result of its designed for China past. I'll deal with those issues first. Yes it would be better with a wake pool; ...

Regent is going considered a six-star line, but as an experienced cruisers we found this to be a five-star ship. Here are a few notes (issues and highlights by category): Accommodations: Exceptional suites, extremely lean and despite their age are very well maintained, albeit with a somewhat outdated color palette. Very comfortable bedding, ample closet space, shower and tub separated, ...

Overall a great experience. Lost Moorea due to weather and Nuku Hiva was a waste of fuel. Should have added more time in Bora Bora. Ship is old but kept up pretty nicely. Air conditioning worked perfectly. Crew is great led by Ray, cruise director, who was everywhere. Boarding: This was a mess with a long line as everyone seemed to board at the same time. Conversely, the disembarkment was ...
