Sydney (Australia) to the South Pacific Cruise Reviews

2nd time Princess. First was average. Oh how we wished for avg this time! New app drops orders. Service is terrible. Excursions as cheap and crap locations possible. We are in the Pacific and brought to the slums of Fiji? Nothing majestic to be seen on this cruise! Onboard talent was better that avg except one comedian was abborent. Many ppl left his show. It's not the money wasted..it was two ...

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 ...

Royal Carribean cancelled our first cruise to the South Pacific. We had already planned and booked the remainder of our trip to Australia and New Zealand and were forced into choosing this cruise. We were very disappointed with the options available but had to choose another cruise within a small window as RC WOULD NOT REFUND our deposit, even though they were the ones who repositioned the ship ...

We booked this holiday a year ago. We booked five cabins all balcony. I have been on 10 + cruises but first time with Royal Caribbean. The food was hospital food absolutely terrible. The buffet at lunch never changed, if you a vegetarian or have any dietary requirements do not go on this ship unless you want to lose weight. We never got to go on the bumper cars rollerskating or rock wall because ...

Our group of ten embarked upon what we thought would be a great NYE cruise experience, unfortunately this did not occur as the negatives outweighed the positives. Positives where great staff in the restaurants, bars and our cabin attendant. Also the boarding and disembarking process efficient. Negatives, the food quality in the main dining room was terrible. Actually, the buffet and smaller ...

We decided that because we had lost 4 people close to us in early 2022 that we would take a relaxing cruise to put such a challenging year behind us. It also meant that we would not have to worry about getting Christmas dinner and could just sit back and enjoy the festivities of Christmas. The cabins are very tired, marked and in need of refurbishment. The staff do not listen to your requests ...

We chose this trip Because we love country music and it was a country cruise experience. Acts that were supposed to appear did not. I had been on 9 cruises prior to this and I had never experienced such a ruder and unaccommodating crew. The cabin was filthy from the prior guests and the cabin door did not close properly. Two mornings in a row we had strangers walk in our room and drawers full of ...

This was our 5th cruise, the second with P&O and it will be our last with them. Embarkation - quick, we were in the "NOT VeriFly" lane and the difference was nothing, we had to prove we had been vaccinated but no proof of being test Covid free, you just had to state it. (same question in the VeriFly lane according to our friends.) Other than that a smooth boarding. Disembarkation - late but ...

We chose this cruise, as it was the first time that I was embarking on trip from my home port. No need to fly to a destination, no need to worry about weight limits or currency exchanges. I was going to depart Sydney on the harbour and through Sydney heads at sunset, beautiful. That's where the vision ended. The entertainment on board was virtually non existent as we were appointed ...
