Transpacific Romantic Cruises Reviews

We are avid travellers and have been on numerous cruises including many with Oceania. Here's an overview of our most recent cruise with Oceania on the ship Regatta. The food is very good when it comes to your table hot. There were a few times in the dining room when the food was luke warm and we were served food on plates and bowls that were chipped or damaged. The buffet food is hit or ...

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 ...

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 ...

We chose Viking based on cruise ratings and have sailed on over 30 ocean cruises. Our review benchmark used 2019 sailings on HAL and Regent. The Star passenger areas are in good shape for the ship's age. However the ship is small and suffers from excessive pitch and heave in the typical Pacific 6 to 9 foot swells as compared to larger ships such as the HAL Westerdam, which we took on a nearly ...

This was a great cruise, and the sea days were filled with as much activity as you wanted. However, the included excursions in Hawaii were not good. They were poor choices of places to visit, and the trip to Pearl Harbor was too short. You had to rush through the exhibits and this should have been the only thing scheduled for the day. There were also hidden charges at Pearl Harbor that we were ...

The ship appearance, crew attitude, pianist performance were great. The theater we visited once. There were long lines to get in. We were not too impressed with the variety of food in the cafeteria (World cafe). They also did not extend lunch beyond 2:30 on port days, so you missed the main lunch then. The hamburger counter had to be used instead if you took an excursion. The included ...

I love sea days. This cruise had 20. We went to tropical paradise places I could never had dreamed possible. Viking has absolutely the best service I have ever enjoyed on a ship. Happy, friendly and exceedingly helpful staff everywhere. Viking should not be anyone’s first cruise. You need to experience the others to really appreciate the difference. Twice a day cabin service, fresh water and ...

First cruise post Covid. Normally I cruise regularly on both Holland America and Princess. I deliberately kept my expectations low and given the large numbers of negative comments and complaints I noted prior to departure I wasn't expecting a really great cruise.... I was very pleasantly surprised. Embarkation in Honolulu was the quickest ever.... I arrived at the pier at 11am picked up my ...

In Honolulu, we boarded a sailing that started in Vancouver – our final destination was Sydney and we spent a total of 20 days onboard. This was our first time on the Royal class ships and we found it an improvement over the older Grand class. The Royal is showing her age, but then so were a majority of its passengers (I’m in my late 60’s – I can make that joke)… Overall we found the ship easy ...

I can honestly say we had a great time, we booked the cruise as a different way in coming home to Australia from the USA, with the price of airfares these days it was a no brainer, we were told it was a repositioning cruise and were told not to expect too much, we had no expectations so thought, lets go! We booked a rear suite, a premier drinks package with all the trimmings direct with ...
