6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

Oh boy, this is my first Prince's cruise, I have been a steady Carnival cruiser for 20 years, but this trip we changed to Princess. So after 2 at sea days getting from Sydney to New Zealand, the dreaded announcement came on from our captain that the call to the Bay of Islands (1st port-of-call) was getting cancelled due to weather, namely winds about 25kts. That the Majestic couldn't hold her ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 30s

This cruise was a present from my employer for myself, husband and 3 year old disabled daughter. The first night I got food poisoning from bad fruit. I was very sick the first night into the second day. I was advised to go see the acupuncturist but it was so expensive ($400) AUS and the online doctor was just as expensive. My daughter who is autistic was treated very poorly and my belief, ...

Embarked in Sydney Australia for 12 day cruise to NZ, embarkation was seamless. Throughout the cruise the staff were friendly & went above & beyond. Cannot fault the staff they are the only redeeming factor in the Royal Caribbean experience. In the rooms there are US outlets only, cannot plug in Australian devices, there are no USB ports. Only option was to rent an adapter from customer ...

We picked this cruise to see New Zealand, This compete fast began on a sour note with the ship being 6 hours into the cruise and a death occurred on board, the boat returned to Sydney to remove the dead person. We set back out for New Zealand but the Capt said its a bit of a rough sea so will will cut our speed (10 knots). we were then told because of the time lost we wont be going to ...

We are currently on the January 28th, 2024 Carnival Splendor itinerary now heading back to Syndney. This cruise has been such a disappointment that I felt compelled to write a recent review. To summarize, it is the first time on a Carnival cruise where we are ready to get off of the ship and are embarrassed that our extended family had such a terrible experience for their first cruise. ...

We chose this cruise because it hit the ports we wanted and we had 2 previous cruises on Celebrity that were good. It's a mid line cruise company. First, never again 3,000 passengers. We would meet people and never see them again. Second, that's art? A whole black room with pillars called a work of art. Blech! Goop dropping out of a picture frame, piles of metal welded together? Not ...

Edge sailed to NZ and Australia. Chose it for itinerary. We are 75 year old retired teachers who have sailed over 150 cruises. Poor use of space. One night there was some dancing in the Club and many couples danced. Cruise director was asked about reassigning one of the dance bands to the Club…no change. If you like to sit and listen to music, eat, drink, and have large amount of people almost ...

Positives: • Beautiful, new ship. The bathroom is excellent; shower has a clear, perspex, bubble screen. • The infinite balcony is attractive; the top part can be lowered if required. However, the bar across the middle is exactly at eye height when sitting and the glass is very dirty. • Entertainment for the first half was excellent; the second half not good. • Quality of meals ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s

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 ...

6-10 Cruises • Age 50s

We have cruised on PO Explorer a couple of times, this is our 8th Cruise in total. PO Adventure is the worst of the lot! The menu is repetitive in the main buffet area, the desserts were a 2/10 very hit and miss. The Dragon lady restaurant that use to be our favourite ia completely different, main stream Chinese food and not unique or interesting at all. Angelo's leaves a lot to be desired. The ...
