Perth (Fremantle) Cruise Reviews

We last took this cruise, same company, (nearly) same itinerary, five years ago - and it was, as promised, amazing. Last month we took the same cruise - and what a disappointment. I know the company is under new ownership but one supposes the new owners thought there was value in what they'd bought - so why did they dumb it down? Presumably to extract a bit more profit. Azamara, regrettably, no ...

Booked this Christmas Cruise in October 21 as we had done the same trip in December 18, with the odd different port. Was looking forward to visiting Esperance but that was later removed from the schedule, which gave us an over night in Adelaide. Obviously, since we last sailed on Azamara Journey Royal Caribbean had sold the fleet off to private investors ad Oh boy, didn't it show. The standards ...

Let me start by saying that the crew and the food were excellent but it was sold on a spend New Year eve on Sydney harbour. Yes we were on the harbour but behind the Sydney harbour bridge moored up at white bay with another cruise ship in front. You only got to see the fireworks with a obstructed view a lot of people were very disappointed and the captain new it because when there was a Q&A with ...

We booked this cruise to sail in 2021 but it got postponed twice due to covid related issues. Have sailed once with P&O before and it was not the best experience so went onto this cruise with rather low expectations. Embarkation - we did the Verifly before we arrived to make things easier. Despite the website and all the documentation saying you need to wear a mask in the terminal and for ...

We chose this cruise solely for the Itinerary - Fremantle to Exmouth to view the April 20th Total Solar Eclipse. The eclipse was everything it should have been - beautiful, awe-inspiring, stunning, unlike the ship. Where to begin? Even before arriving - VeriFly.- a total nightmare to download and use. Numerous emails from the UK to try and sort out problems, speaking of which- why do P&O ...

We so looked forward to an epic journey all round Australia, but what was sold to us as a 28 day cruise all round Australia, turned out to be a number of cruises joined together which meant a lot of repeats . One of the highlights for us was to visit Hobart and this was cancelled as was the visit to Busselton and Margaret river. Brisbane is a problem as the cruise port has no public transport so a ...

We have previously sailed on Celebrity and enjoyed the upmarket ambiance and cultured environment BUT alas this seems to have been eroded into what has become a very ordinary cruise line. The harassment we experienced form staff as soon as we boarded to 'purchase a package' was beyond annoying. On no less than 45 occasions we were asked to purchase on day one. This continued for 3 days and on ...

We chose this cruise as we had done the cruise from Auckland to Perth the year before and were very impressed with the Solstice . What a difference a year makes , the ship was showing a lot of wear. The entertainment on the cruise the year before was excellent , this trip it was less than average. The drinks packages had gone up and the discount they offered on board was 10% , 15% ,20% ...

CELEBRITY SOLSTICE embarked in PERTH for a back to back of 29 nights, to SYDNEY/AUCKLAND/FIJI/SAMOA/TONGA and back to AUCKLAND. A wonderful experience of personal service, excellent dining in the Luminea / Murano / Tuscan restaurants, especially the Luminea where all the staff were very attentive and obliging, our thanks, and deserving recognition were KAVI ( nothing was ever too much), RYAN ...

We chose this cruise as it was a long time since we had been on a larger ship (Celebrity Alaskan cruise 11 years ago) and we felt like an end of summer holiday through Australian ports that we are fairly familiar with. We flew to Perth from Auckland 4 days prior to the cruise and thoroughly enjoyed this delightful city. Embarkation was a nightmare as no training had been given to the local ...
