Sydney (Australia) Romantic Cruises Reviews

There were 10 of us that cruised this time. This was our 3rd Princess cruise, this time from Sydney to Hobart-Port Arthur-Kangaroo Island. We had smooth sailing for the first half and lumpy seas with a swell for the second half. On the final leg we sailed through a meeting of three rain events the caused us to be late in getting into Sydney Harbour. The pilot boat couldn’t get out to ...

Will definitely cruise on this ship again if we have the chance. Embarkation was a breeze we were on board within 30 minutes of port arrival. Disembarkation was also good also around 30 mins after joining cue. We have cruised with R.C, P&O, and Carnival previously and found this ship to be in most aspects a cut above. The decor is clearly more premium including the stateroom. Staff were ...

This was our 3rd cruise and second with Oceania. Our first cruise was to French Polynesia on Regatta and was cut short due to the Covid outbreak. Despite this setback, we were very impressed and pleased with everything, especially the food and based on this experience, booked our most recent cruise with Oceania again. This most recent cruise was again on Regatta. A 16 day voyage visiting ports in ...

Back to Azamaea after a few years gap. We were concerned by the reviews on CC for the Journey before we boarded. Totally unfounded, how people could write such untruths is not fair. It was a terrific trip. Good value with basic bar package included. Food was great with many choices and lots of FRESH seafood, vegs, fruits. Everyday dining room menu included steak , seafood, as an option and a ...

Im keen to try all the great cruise lines if possible and this Cunard ship was sailing out of Australia and returning to the same port at a time that suited our needs so seemed like the perfect choice for a nice holiday break. Check in was simple and quick, and we were allowed to go straight to our cabin once aboard which was fantastic. Ship is very smart, looks like a stately home of Art Deco ...

My wife and I decided to try the 3 day cruise We didn’t know what to really expect. After disembarking we discussed and reflected in the fairest way I feel The staff were very hard working and the catering was managed to perfection .We did wonder how there were som many staff on board as many were from overseas. Pros: For disabled people it was quite functional The food ...

Ship was to go to Far North Queensland but due to Cyclone we went south instead. I was happy to go south, but could understand people being disappointed with change, but there was no way we could have gone to Cairns etc. First time on Brilliance, had previously been on Quantum last 4 times, and I actually enjoyed the smaller ship, it took us back to the old days ( well not that old ...

This 14-day cruise to New Zealand from Sydney was my husband’s second and my third. We are in our late 60s and cost-conscious. We were bound to be excited by the weather as it was summer there and we were in winter at home. We have not done a lot of traveling outside of the United States. We did not use a travel agent, but I spend a lot of time on research. Because of what I suspect was a ...

Dear all, Here is a brief trip report on a cruise we did from Australia to New Zealand, which may help anyone planning similar. We went on the Royal Princess, out of Sydney (December, 2023). We had a balcony room on the left side of the ship (which afforded the best views when arriving at ports). Overall, the cruise ship was very good. -Embarkation in Sydney was a bit shambolic and ...

This ship has an open promenade area, which we like. There were lots of music and other events in this area which were very, very good. The evening shows were generally wonderful, with a few exceptions. The Princess singer and dancers were amazing. Our balcony cabin was just fine. We don't normally do a balcony but we enjoyed it on this cruise. The sports up top were quite disappointing because of ...
