South Pacific Singles Cruises Reviews

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 ...

If you have vertigo like I have, this is not a ship for you The ship is old and not heavy enough and wobbles a lot The rooms are so small, rooms and hallways smell horrible we complained unfortunately they only added chemical to the bathroom pipes which only reduced it just a little Also the servers at Garden Buffet are not professional We noticed most of them constantly are sexually ...

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 ...

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 ...

This was our third cruise with carnival. The first two being prior to covid. The boat is like a big floating RSL club. Super understaffed compared to last trips and way over crowded. The line at buffet was 20 minutes , to get pizza or bar service was even worse due to minimal staff. Tender boats have also been reduced to two boats for entire ship to get to the shore, so we waited 5 hours ...

Chose cruise for destinations and celebration of 50th our anniversary and a 75 birthday. Food very average. I compared it to a step up from the Golden corral. Formal night diner proportion and selection undesirable and embarrassing to us for the wait staff to serve it. Overall communication insufficient. No Port talks as to what to expect or what to do if not on an excursion. Pay as you go ...

The Crown Princess is an aging ship in need of some updating. Staterooms and public areas look past their prime. Some upholstery shabby, décor dated. Dining room menu seems to be in rotation every few days. Nothing of interest or originality. Poorly prepared at times and often smothered with some gravy or sauce seemingly meant to cover up what lies beneath. One of the more common offerings ...

Pluses +Very comfortable cabin with plenty of storage room +Great service (except for IT) +Food was excellent, even the buffets +Despite the ship being 25 yrs old it was remodeled well Negatives -Extremely slow wi-fi. We were only using it for work related reasons (no streaming, gaming etc.) but it a took long time for emails to pull up or attachments to open. -We had free ...

I got a good deal (I thought) of $890 AUD for a balcony cabin and $900 AUD OBC. I should have known that it was too good to be true (especially when the American cruisers told me what they were paying). Embarkation was a total farce. We were told that we had to show a negative RAT result, 24 hrs prior. No one ever asked to see it. When we finally got on board, we waited by the lifts until, ...

We had chosen and booked this cruise before the pandemic. It was canceled and reset many times do to the COVID outbreaks on ships and the lack of testing procedures laid out by the government and agreed upon by the cruiselines. We had set this cruise with 8 other people and were excited to meet up with them on this January 29. 2023 cruise out of Sydney. We were flying from the US about 9,000 miles ...
