Review for a South Pacific Cruise on Resilient Lady

I had great expectations before cruising with virgin resilient lady. now i would never choose to cruise with virgin again. The absolutely "not user friendly"app that had to be used to make reservations at every restaurant for meals was a nightmare. i couldn't change my booking if i needed to add another person without losing the time i had booked i.e. If i booked for 6:30pm for 4 people and ...

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, ...

This Australian vacation was planned as a break from the gloomy winter in Olympia WA in the USA. We began our cruise in Brisbane Australia headed for a couple small islands in the South Pacific. First two days at sea; This ship is showing its age. It feels very closed in compared with newer ships. The food selection and quality is below par. The servers are friendly and welcoming. I have ...

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 ...

Never sail with Royal Caribbean again!

This Cruise was over priced and it absolutely under delivered, consequently we will never be sailing with Royal Caribbean again. As we have cruised with them on a number of occasions previously, we feel that the criticisms listed below are completely justified. The entertainment was extremely poor, (and that is being generous) nowhere near the standard of previous cruises we’ve ...

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, ...

Such a disappointment

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s

My first ever cruise and cannot say how disappointed I was. From the state of the ship just being old to the actually drips on my head in the pantry as the whole roof leaked in the main dining room. The whirlpool spas (not one of them worked so it was just like warm bath water), to the showers that firstly burned my hand badly as it was about 79 degrees then they just turned the heat off so cold ...

Awful ship. Awful experience

2-5 Cruises • Age 50s

We have cruised other Carnival ships, but nothing as bad as this. Toilet stopped working for several days. Public areas smelled of sewerage. My GoPro was stolen, and when I reported it security stripped our room (mind you this was around midnight as well). My wife broke her finger on a shore excursion, and we caught both COVID and Influenza A. Our last meal in cabin isolation was a single piece ...

Worst cruise experience

6-10 Cruises • Age 30s

1. bathtub is mouldy, toilet smells like dirty public toilet. Made compliants but no improvement. 2. Everything on the ship aren’t being maintained and very dated, e.g. Pantry water tab (to wash hands) not working, not just one of them but every single one. 3. Staff need a lot more training, the worst customer service I have ever experienced on a cruise ship. E.g. in the Pantry, one of the ...

Privacy breach

First Time Cruiser • Age 20s

Will never travel on Carnival Luminosa again. Breach of privacy when we found evidence on our GoPro of a staff member going through our personal items taking a video of themselves. MAJOR BREACH OF PRIVACY!! The staff at the sunset bar were extremely rude and weren’t happy when having to remake a drink that made wrong initially. The boat is old in the inside. Pools are small. In the dining ...
