Sydney (Australia) to the South Pacific Romantic Cruises Reviews

My husband and I sailed on what we call "the cruise to nowhere", being the 19 March 2024 Brilliance of the Seas "11 day "cruise to the South Pacific from Sydney, Australia The cruise was meant to head to Lifou, Noumea, Mystery Island, Port Vila and Luganville for 11 days. In the end we only (just) got to Lifou - the other ports were cancelled and the cruise was cut short from 11 days to 8 days ...

Overall: This was somewhat disappointing cruise that did not live up to the hype. Embarkation: A breeze. Easiest boarding ever. No lines, knowledgeable people. Cabin: We had a B-1 veranda stateroom. The room itself was fine. Flat screen TV, although not much to watch. (You could watch “Titanic” if ship disaster movies are your thing.) Adequate underbed storage for our soft-sided ...

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 ...

Check-In When arriving at the terminal in Sydney it was just under 30deg.C and we couldn't believe the length of the queue. Once inside the terminal (and in the shade), we were faced with further massive queues. Eventually collected our medallions and were ready to join another massive queue. Cabin (Stateroom) Very clean and looked after by the excellent Fernando. Ship Very well ...

I have sailed with Carnival many times, the last one pre Covid in February, 2020 and always found everything to be great. We recently joined Splendor for a 10 night South Pacific cruise on December 4th, 2023. Sadly the cost cutting on this cruise was very obvious with less security, cabin stewards, waiters, cleaners etc. Almost everything is now controlled by a Carnival hub app now that ...

We chose Carnival as my daughter had been on a previous cruise with them. The staff were so welcoming and fantastically helpful. Rosalyn our stewardess and all the other staff especially Frederico, Glenn, and so many others were unbelievably helpful with our everyday and dining experience. There didn't seem to be anything too difficult for them to assist and provide us with. The food was ...

We chose this cruise because BOS has not been here in Australia before only ROS,same class but different ship. We just wanted to go on a smaller ship again. It was a 10 night South Pacific cruise to in order as we went,Lifou,Luganville,Vila,Mystery Island and Noumea. We have done a few cruises into this area before. At this time,the start of our cruise season is usually very good,but this time ...

After having cruised with P&O and Carnival I was expecting better than what was on offer from Royal Caribbean on this cruise. The embarkation process was quick and easy. Our oceanview cabin was clean and spacious but the interior furnishings like the sofa, were tired looking and in need of upgrading. The bed was not comfortable and we had to get our room attendant to find some mattress toppers ...

Carnival Splendor is an amazing 4 night cruise that took us to a wonderful island also known as Moreton Island. All of the cabins that I have seen are shockingly very clean, as if there wasn’t even a speck of dirty items in the cabins. The cabins also have drinks just in case you get thirsty in your sleep and the beds on the cruise are extremely comfy and to the point that I miss them so much! ...

This was our very first cruise and we came back with a very positive experience. While we dont have a cruise benchmark to compare, it was evident that almost everyone of the crew we came across were trying their best to make our holidays what we wanted it to be - whether we wanted a party experience or a relaxing one or anything in between. We chose this because we understood Carnival was a family ...
