Royal Caribbean Australia & New Zealand Cruise Reviews

My experience started off very well but began to wain at the end. My wife and I were not met at the airport by one RC staff but by three for an individual transport to the ship's terminal. Boarding had no exceptional delays. We retrieved our luggage ourselves from the stewards area as it had not been placed for us at the designated time. We had been in the same clothes for 28 hours and needed a ...

I've only ever been on Ovation of the seas and have loved it every time, although there has been some disadvantaged like missed ports or medical emergencies, overall it is an amazing ship. There crew onboard ovation are wonderful. They are friendly and very helping. They will tend to your needs and look after to you like home. The activities onboard with sure keep those kids busy aswell as the ...

Chose this cruise to enjoy with first time cruising friends. Balcony room (4D) cabin port side aft. Extras Paid for 1, Wifi package 7 days. Was good enough and dropped out now and then. Should be free. 2, Drinks package. Recommended as drinks could have got costly. Sometimes staff seem to be on a go slow instruction and avoid eye contact and take a long time to serve. 3, Noumea - ...

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 travelled with 2 others on the cruise, it's always better to have some friends to come along with you. We booked the GTY internal, but were given a virtual window, our friends booked a window and got given a balcony...lucky them. Been on Quantum a few times in last year, so knew what to expect and been to same islands many times, but love the islands. Our room was quiet and had a few ...

Last year, we went on our first cruise on Quantum of the Seas and enjoyed the experience of sailing out of Sydney Harbour so much that we booked our second cruise to New Zealand on the sister ship, Ovation of the Seas. We booked an 11 night cruise that visited Picton, Napier, Wellington and Dunedin as well as Dusky, Doubtful and Milford Sounds. Overall, the trip was smooth sailing across the ...

Ship was to go to Far North Queensland but due to Cyclone we went south instead. I was happy to go south, but could understand people being disappointed with change, but there was no way we could have gone to Cairns etc. First time on Brilliance, had previously been on Quantum last 4 times, and I actually enjoyed the smaller ship, it took us back to the old days ( well not that old ...

out of the 3 cruises I have done in my life, this was the best one, and in my mind, it got to do with who your with and the amount you want to do on a ship I travelled with my dad's partners family and it was amazing, and had a balcony cabin all to myself The Ship - Great The Food and Beverage - Great and plentiful (although, something I am finding with RC is that the soda machines like ...

We had a terrific time on this cruise. It was the smoothest sailing I’ve ever experienced. The food was excellent particularly in the Wonderland and Chops Grille restaurants, we weren’t going to dish out the extra dollars for these except on the first day the head waiter came over to us and said he’d do a deal being half price. So we asked at Wonderland if they could do us a deal and they did ...

A nice pleasant cruise without bad weather or problems. Been on ship about 4 times so knew what to expect with regards food and entertainment. Last time on was back in February 23, still has that strange show Starwater going, it's slow to start but does finish well, also Sequence and Lace main show still running, it's a great show, also Sonic Odessey show still running, it's good ...
