South Pacific Cruise Reviews

I had a great time on this cruise, I was a solo traveller and everyone was really nice and friendly. I'd recommend the solo traveller meet up held on the first few nights. A few things I noticed tho. The Evian water package that cost me AUD$40 (pre cruise discount) turned out to be cheap supermarket water that would cost AUD$10, see pic. There weren't water fountains to fill up water ...

Virgin was advertising with new cruises in Australia, so we thought let's try its, as we been on many (10) cruises (80% are Princess Cruises). There is nothing where we could pick on, all the staff are carrying a warm hart, the food has a big WOW factor we could eat that everyday, one restaurant that was jumping out was the Test Kitchen different but yammy. The service on board was excellent, we ...

Having being one of the few that was lucky enough to get the cruise on Velocity Points, we were looking forward to seeing what this Cruise Line offered compared to others. The ship itself is absolutely beautiful. The layout of the ship is completely different, I think due to the fact that there is no main dining room and there is also no central broadwalk. The entertainment areas are a lot ...

The ship is less than 12 months old and as you'd expect it's in immaculate condition , we had an Interior cabin it's much larger compared to other Interior Cabins we've had with P&O , Carnival , MSC & Princess . The food is truly next level , I've cruised with the Lines I've mentioned above but Virgin's food is certainly out in front ! , cruise Staff I've found excellent on all cruise lines and ...

The good: We lucked out with the calmest seas in Feb cyclone season. RC shore visits in Noumea, Mystery and Port Vila. Expensive but well run. The insanely blue water of Mystery island. The beauty of New Caledonia and Vanuatu itself. Staring at the ocean ( an ocean view is a MUST!! ) Realising just how BIG the ocean really is. Well appointed and liveable room. Gym ...

My review of our Resilient Lady sailing from Feb 22-27. We had an absolute blast on this ship! Almost everything was top-notch, from the ship itself to the food to the cabin to the staff. The staff (ranging from stewards to Happenings cast to servers in the restaurants and Galley) were all delightful, energetic, and seemed genuinely happy to be there. I loved all the cool design elements in the ...

This was my seventh cruise with Royal Caribbean (Second on Quantum) and I have cruised with three other lines so I could claim to be a seasoned cruiser to a degree. First the good: Great friendly cabin and waiter staff (with one exception). Junell and Eugene in the main dining room were excellent while supervisor Rolston was very competent. Edgar looked after our room very ...

We chose this Cruise to find out if a short 4-day cruise would suit us. Overall it was a great cruise on a beautiful ship, we had a balcony cabin on deck 8 towards the middle of the ship, the cabin was spacious and decorated nicely, and the bathroom was small, luckily we are slim built, and it certainly was the smallest bathrooms we have experienced on the 12 other cruises we have done. The ...

I am very, very thrilled that the bathroom configuration of the XL Sea Terrace is like that of a hotel room. The cabin is also large (very big indeed for a solo traveller). Finally, a hotel room on a cruise ship! I am too lazy to make bookings for restaurants; but apparently if you don't book before you sail, the few restaurants that require booking are filled up already. I only managed to get ...

Overall, this was a really good cruise. The ship is clean and new, staff friendly and cabin welcoming. My main concern was the specialty dining … most options on the menu weren’t what I would consider appetising. In many instances, there was only one item on each section (starters, mains, etc) that I was able to actually think sounded ‘yummy’. The exception was Pink Agave, what a great meal!! We ...
