Perth (Fremantle) to Australia & New Zealand Cruise Reviews

Started off the cruise with a 200 metre long queue in the hot Perth sun, supposedly because of norovirus which turned out to have been two sectors before. Elderly people standing in the heat for hours with their baggage just to drop off the bags and once into the terminal more long delays. No seats or cold drinks offered. A strange new policy never encountered before was to do the 5 one hour ...

We were advised prior to departure that there would be delays in boarding, supposedly due to the outbreak of norovirus,which turned out to have been on the ship 2 legs prior, but as we were flying in from Brisbane and had arranged a ship transfer, we had no option but to arrive any later.The queues were horrendous, up to 180 metres long and in the hot sun, some of these passengers queuing were ...

This Fremantle to Sydney via New Zealand's South Island cruise was the inaugral ‘down under’ voyage for Explorer of the Seas, the largest cruise ship to make Australia home for the season. It was a massive, luxurious vessel with great potential for a wonderful cruise. It was also our first mega ship cruise for a longer duration than the many cruises we had experienced in Asian ...

As Diamond cruisers we have been on a number of different RCL ships. This was our first Asia cruise and the destinations were important to us.

Got into our room about 1pm and it was very clean and neat and furnishing ...

All up we have sailed on six different ships before this one. We were really looking forward to this cruise, we had great expectations considering that we have never been on a ship this big and add to that the ...

The cruise (Voyager of the Seas) was OK but not to the standard of a previous cruise (Radiance of the Seas). Voyager - - Entertainment - Good, with some shows being excellent. - Food - Average. In many cases it seemed to have been thrown on the plate. - Wait Staff - Excellent service. They did their very best to please. However, it was obvious they were ...

We chose this cruise for its itinery:- Esperance, Port Lincoln, Adelaide, Kangaroo Island. We arrived in Perth 3 Days before Cruise, imagine our surprise when on a visit to Freemantle the day before the Volendam was due to dock, there she was!!! We stayed at Miss Mauds in Perth- best food anywhere. Embarkation was a little slow, but fairly trouble free. Cabin was good size, with plenty storage, ...
