Royal Caribbean Australia & New Zealand Cruise Reviews

This Cruise was over priced and it absolutely under delivered, consequently we will never be sailing with Royal Caribbean again. As we have cruised with them on a number of occasions previously, we feel that the criticisms listed below are completely justified. The entertainment was extremely poor, (and that is being generous) nowhere near the standard of previous cruises we’ve ...

Embarked in Sydney Australia for 12 day cruise to NZ, embarkation was seamless. Throughout the cruise the staff were friendly & went above & beyond. Cannot fault the staff they are the only redeeming factor in the Royal Caribbean experience. In the rooms there are US outlets only, cannot plug in Australian devices, there are no USB ports. Only option was to rent an adapter from customer ...

I am a Diamond member with more that 18 years cruising with Royal Caribbean. Captain Ryan did not tell the true story about sick passengers. returning the vessel back to Sidney. There was only One sick passenger smiling and shaking hands when getting out from the ship and lot of musicians that came out when we returned to Sidney on Day 3. NONE unconscious passenger as we were told by the ...

My family and I are Emerald Crown & Anchor Loyalty Members who have been on multiple cruise vacations with Royal Caribbean totalling nearly 60 nights. My parents, whom we travel with, are Diamond Plus Members who have spent more than 175 nights at sea. However our last two cruises have left us completely disillusioned and unlikely to book again. In December 2022, we travelled on an Ovation of ...

We booked a ship departing from Sydney to New Zealand on November 23, eagerly anticipating the visit to the renowned New Zealand tourist destination, the fjords. The ticket indicated arrivals on November 26 at Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound, Dusky Sound, November 27 at Dunedin, November 28 at Wellington, November 29 at Napier, November 30 at Picton, and return to Sydney on December 3. However, ...

This was the first time we did a cruise with Royal Caribbean having previously been on Princess, P&O and MSC. This was our least favourite by far and the experience on RC Quantum of the Seas fell well short. So many things to mention but the first and most important was the itinerary change. I understand weather may mean that certain destinations may not be possible, but to find out at the port ...

After having cruised with P&O and Carnival I was expecting better than what was on offer from Royal Caribbean on this cruise. The embarkation process was quick and easy. Our oceanview cabin was clean and spacious but the interior furnishings like the sofa, were tired looking and in need of upgrading. The bed was not comfortable and we had to get our room attendant to find some mattress toppers ...

Trailer Park at Sea This past week I embarked on my first, and unless this cruise is different in some way than others, my last cruise. I went on a Royal Caribbean cruise and I am in fact, lying under a stained cruise ship cabin ceiling, wondering what on earth could cause stains on the ceiling above my lovely twin bed. This completely forgettable and unremarkable trip started with ...

We'd sailed on Explorer of the Seas once before and a weekend trip on the Ovation seemed like a good idea. It wasn't. In brief; dreadful service, low morale amongst crew, lack of cleaning, foodcourt quality food in the dining rooms and far worse in the buffet. The ship is big and newish but the finish is more like a well appointed caravan with lots of wood veneer and perspex than a cruise ...

We are currently on the three night cruise to nowhere which departed Brisbane 23/02/2023 As regular cruisers we were keen to explore all that Quantam of the Seas had to offer but unfortunately we have been left wanting. The cruise is currently sailing with a passenger total in excess of 4700, which makes for an extremely crowded and unpleasant experience. All areas are busy, shows are booked ...
