P&O Australia Cruise Reviews

Singularly the worst cruise i've ever been on, and i've been many, with more booked this year. The good points.. The ship was clean and the staff were great - particularly the cabin crew we had. But.. The food was disgraceful.. All complimentary areas were cheap slop - heavily cooked mince or shredded meat pieces in sloppy vegetables or god knows what. And for a piece of fish? Cheap, deep ...

First cruise. Not too bad, but not outstanding. The absolute highlight onboard is the staff. All staff are extremely hard working, polite and professional. This is from the cleaners to the entertainers. People like the cruise director are fun and don't mind being silly to get a laugh from passengers. Being our first cruise, we were a little overwhelmed on boarding and there are no clear ...

Cruised with our family of 16,14 of them first time cruisers. Chose a short cruise, close to home incase anyone didn't enjoy cruising. The weather was pretty good, fairly calm seas, and everyone enjoyed it (seeing nobody wanted to get off). Kid's aged 9 to 16, were kept busy all day. Gatsby night was really good, dance floor a little small, but the evening was very entertaining. The Bianco ...

Since our last PO cruises 8yrs ago PO standards have dropped to below par. This was our 4th time using PO Aust. So many add ons and sales on board to get the passengers spending more money. It seemed there was always someone from some department trying to get you to sign up or upgrade. They would approach you while eating, ordering drinks, walking past them, leaving ship etc. The ...

Wow, P&O, you absolutely ruined my holiday, 2 weeks and my hard eared cash down the drain because of your corporate greed for profit over customer satisfaction. We will never set foot on a P&O ship ever again. We have sailed five times with other cruise companies, namely, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity. Decided to give P&O a try as pricing was very competitive. What a huge mistake, it was ...

A great ship that really caters for our whole family. All the common areas are thought out, and the flow of the ship felt easier and better designed that some other brands worldwide. I was travelling as a single parent with two pre-teen kids, who made great friends on our sailing! We met loads of new friends at every part of our cruise - so social, friendly and inclusive! The public areas were ...

Staff on ship very serious and not very friendly. The carpets were smelly, There was water dripping from the light fittings outside the lifts on deck 15. Cabin stewards not very friendly. My suitcase had been gone through by cabin staff. Bed linen not changed. Rooms not vaccuumed , Mould on bathroom tiles. Strong smell of marijuana on smoking decks. (Deck 7) The smoking area on deck 15 ...

After losing my father recently, we thought it would be good to take mum away for a few days. Disappointing is an understatement - Pros- Singers & dancers were very good Sailaway party and theme nights are good. Even though you cant swing a cat in the room, the bed was comfy. Cons- Ship is in very poor condition, paint peeling, tiles around the pool are broken, stains on the ceilings, ...

Having 18 past cruises to compare with, My Wife and I would say we ought to be capable of accurately compiling and submitting this review. It is my opinion that this ship is dangerously old. The very visible rusted major steel structures are of great concern. Many totally clouded and cracked window panels in public areas are another telltale sign that this vessel is fast becoming destined for the ...

The suite was superb, the deck, massive. Aft cabin. Quite a bit of noise from the wash behind but I expected that. Cabin staff were superb, cannot fault them. With the suite came perks. Fruit bowls, snack trays and these were unnexpected. Large packets of chips and peanuts and chocolates. These went to our cabin staff so they were enjoying that. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud - just ...
