South Pacific Family Cruises Reviews

Our first cruise - Bali to Singapore The plus points Good food in Aqua restaurant Staff excellent One or two shows good Lectures good The negatives Cramped cabin - could barely get past end of bed Tiny balcony - oils only just get 2 chairs and a table on it Cramped bathroom - Overpriced excursions False excision descriptions - eg - “small group walking tour” was ...

We chose this cruise because having travelled extensively both by land and sea through Asia we hadn’t touched on Indonesia other than Borneo and the itinerary appealed to us. Embarkation was quick and efficient and we were able to access our stateroom immediately. The ship was lovely and very easy to negotiate our way around it. Public areas had lots of seating and were all aesthetically ...

This cruise was cancelled twice due to covid, but we finally got to do it in January. We embarked in Bali, and was very impressed with the organisation and friendliness of the staff. The cabin, balcony, and beds were comfortable, and adequate. The trips were quite expensive, and usually ended in a shopping experience! But that isn’t unusual. A couple of days into the cruise, we were ...

After going to Hawaii yearly for 10 years for a medical meeting French Polynesia has been on our bucket list for some time. What better time to go than Paul Guaguin’s and our 25th anniversary Thank you all for your recommendations which undoubtedly added to the value and peace of mind in planning this adventure 10 Day Tuomotus/Society island cruise 1-21 through 2-3-2024 Day 1. ...

We chose the Half World cruise as a way to escape winter and to get to the Arab countries where we wanted to tour. Cruising is always pleasant and so my rating is relative to other cruises we've done. Generally the food was ok (what you might expect at Denny's) and the ride not to bad (for us) even when the seas were rough. But nothing was impressive and the entertainment was VERY lame. You can ...

We joined the Sojourn in LA and disembarked in Taipei at the end of the second segment of the World Cruise 72 days later. Our last trip on the Sojourn had been the last two segments of the 2023 World Cruise from the Seychelles to Barcelona, and we now have about 200 days with Seabourn. We rated the 2023 voyage overall a 9.5/10. This years we would rate an 8.5+ to 9/10, still excellent. Why lower? ...

We’ve cruised on this ship before from HK to Singapore a few years ago and had an excellent holiday. We can’t believe how poor the bar service was on this trip. Same in the dining room lack of bodies. I was left a feedback form from the Hotel Director Vlado, in fact completed two but no response so herein lies the problem. One day I counted 9 people awaiting service by the pool bar with one ...

BENOA PORT EMBARKING:Waiting area perfect and covered but the cruise should ensure a plan B incase of crazy weather. We finally boarded right by the ship in sweltering heat where kids and elderly were having a heat stroke under no coverage with long cues until finally at the last minute Banoa port staff brought out seats and had celebrity staff giving out umbrellas. I travel to Bali alot and know ...

A friend at work recommended a cruise, in a moment of madness we booked through luxury escapes for 10 nights leaving Sydney for New Caledonia and Vanuatu. The ship is tired and showing its age, tattoos looked compulsory, probably with their room number so when they are inebriated they can find their way back. There is nothing interesting to do unless you enjoy drinking, belly flop competitions or ...

My recent 6-night Disney Wonder cruise from Sydney over New Year's was marked by a series of disappointing experiences that left me questioning the value of the hefty price tag. The trip started with a frustrating health check email hours before departure, requiring an internet connection to complete while trying to entertain a preschooler. Booking cruise activities proved to be a letdown, with ...
