South Pacific Cruise Reviews

We were on the Regatta from Australia to New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa x 2 and French Polynesia. My feedback is as follows: 1. Staff - very friendly and generally eager to please. However, tend to be a number who lack training, so service is variable. 2. Cabins - please don't pretend they are state rooms, it insults the passengers! Generally basic, but good enough, but shower area is tiny. Bigger ...

I am always open to new adventures thought I would try a small 4 day on this ship. we usually travel on Silversea Seabourn Hapag Lloyd and Princess. I tried 6 weeks ago to book any specialty restaurant it just was not happening so was told to do on board I am travelling with 3 others all in sea balcony deck 11. first night we managed Extra Virgin the calamari was good if ...

After cruising many lines over 35 years, Oceania is our favorite. Great food, small ships, and interesting ports and excursions (previous to this cruise). First, the positive: Oceania has great ships. We've been on the Riviera (@1200 passengers) and the smaller Insignia and Nautica (@600 passengers}. The ships are well laid out with specialty restaurants, a fantastic buffet, comfortable ...

Our first cruise - Bali to Singapore The plus points Good food in Aqua restaurant Staff excellent One or two shows good Lectures good The negatives Cramped cabin - could barely get past end of bed Tiny balcony - oils only just get 2 chairs and a table on it Cramped bathroom - Overpriced excursions False excision descriptions - eg - “small group walking tour” was ...

All staff were very friendly. What is not good? Almost zero outdoor, pool deck activity! Only once every two weeks some food or live music on the pool deck. No music anywhere when the show is on. Some harbors bad stops such as in Java. Excursion some ok, some just hours of bus drives. Worst: Horrible wifi! If you are not retired and need to work some online: Do not use Regent! They advertise ...

We chose the Half World cruise as a way to escape winter and to get to the Arab countries where we wanted to tour. Cruising is always pleasant and so my rating is relative to other cruises we've done. Generally the food was ok (what you might expect at Denny's) and the ride not to bad (for us) even when the seas were rough. But nothing was impressive and the entertainment was VERY lame. You can ...

Review of Viking Sky 2023/24 World Cruise. For 4 months per year my wife and I have been avid cruisers. Firstly 18 with Azamara, but since their sad decline we switched to Viking. Now with 8 completed, and enjoyed, it was sad to see how far Viking standards have fallen. We found this on our recent segmented 2 legs on this world cruise. This was after we were initially notified that we were ...

We sought to expand our previous experiences on Pacific cruises on the 2 Solstice ships by booking a similar 10 day voyage ex Sydney on the newer Edge. Despite its classy, even glitzy, appearance, we were disappointed with many aspects of the ship, especially the on-board activities or more correctly lack of activities and entertainment. Apart from the variable (mostly live & loud) Theatre ...

Embarkation in Sydney and ports of call on tenders in Vanuatu was a breeze on this ship. Bravo to the crew, as this sailing was very full. We were in an ocean view cabin on the 7th deck. The cabins are very comfortable, with heaps of storage space. On the first day we were shuffled into the spa and heavily pushed into a treatment, which I booked the 2nd day of the sailing. The spa's prices are ...

Fails advertising . The BEST CABIN - the smallest balcony we have ever had ( 18 cruise 7 liners) ( lucky we are below average weight. BEST FOOD - you can not book must have reservation and if booked out before you are on board. BEST ENTERTAINMENT- 6 day cruise and repeat shows? standing watching a show for 1 hour? ,some show you have to book and pay $50 per person. BEST DRINKS - all ...
