P&O Australia South Pacific Cruise Reviews

We are a couple in our early 60s, having just recently retired. We embrace everything about cruising – meeting like-minded people, the drinks, the food, live music/shows, sightseeing on and off the ship, activities on offer etc etc, all from the convenience of a short walk from your cabin. This was our first cruise since lockdowns, and easing back with a short 4 night voyage between Melbourne ...

This is my first review, though I have done four trips with two cruise lines. I rate this cruise the best of the best. It was comfortable, relaxed, priced right and food generally good. The entertainment generally excellent. The Marque is top shelf with shows like Musicology. Also tipping is included which is a big plus because you know the full price before you sail. Of course you are free ...

The 80s theme Cruise My wife and I grew up in the 80s and a chance to be reminded of those days was too good to pass up. There was also a cancelled 80s cruise early in the pandemic that we were trying to make up for. This was our first 80s cruise so we were not quite sure what to expect but some online searching to look at previous 80s cruises gave us an idea of how to pack and what to ...

As this was the first cruise after a two year break I booked this cruise on a whim and glad I did. The ship looked beautiful inside. The furniture and décor was bright and new looking. I think the ship may have been only 70% full due to Covid protocols which made it pleasant at the bars and much easier to find a seat to relax. We had lunch at Angelo's, Dragon Lady and Waterfront and ...

My husband and I absolutely loved this ship. There were lots of entertainment and there was always something to do. If you are not into their activities, then you can spend your time eating at their amazing restaurants. The Pantry has plenty of options but the food in D Angelos and Dragon Lady and Waterfront are superb. 400 Gradi has awesome pizza and meats and cheeses but you need to pay. ...

this cruise was amazing, coming with one side of the family it was a fantastic trip. Everyone was always occupied and the activities couldn't have been better. There were lots of shows to watch and parties to go to. Our room was a bit small, but our room stewards couldn't have been better. Every day there were great activities on for the whole family, which varied from White parties to Gatsby ...

We loved our 8 nights cruise on P&O Pacific Explorer! I thought it will be very basic cruise but all my expectations were exceeded by far! Selection of meals and restaurants was very good, quality of food was good, delicious and mostly healthy meals (in comparison to some other cruises where free junk food was so bad and in large quantities). Italian restaurant Angelou’s and Graddi 400 ...

We really enjoyed this cruise. Embarkation and disembarkation were both very well organised and fast. The Pacific Explorer feels smaller than it is, and it can be hard to get seating, especially in the Explorer Hotel. We only went to the Waterfront Restaurant once - the husband's meal was fine, mine was cold and quite unpleasant so I didn't want to go back again. Every meal we had at Luke's ...

First time cruiser and very impressed with P&O Pacific Explorer. After reading every single review about this ship I wasn’t sure what to expect. I must admit I did wonder if I was wasting my money booking with P&O but that was definitely not the case! Just a quick background I cruised with two other adults and my son (4yo). Cabin: 9097 Balcony. I chose this room because it was very close to ...

Fantastic cruise, staff were amazing ,so full of energy and will go out of there way to make you feel comfortable,food in the 6 restaurants was 5 star and was excellent in the bistro area (plenty of it).We had a inside cabin,bit small but comfortable.The stage shows were brilliant and other activities were great,service was top notch. All the Islands were fantastic and well worth going ...
