Australasia Cruise Reviews

As first time cruisers our experience was memorable along with being pleasurable. Since being back home We have not stopped talking about the whole journey and the effort the team aboard to make this holiday a pleasure. Enjoyed every aspect so much so that we have placed a future booking that will be around July/August 2019. We are extremely pleased with our choice and would recommend this experience to anyone. Great job by all of the Golden Princess, we will return soon!

You make the most of what you can on cruise, friends can be made.

Great time with great people, making many new friends. Comparing the experience with 12 months prior however the food, service and entertainment was noticeably down. The ship looked and felt tired, but cruising is what you make of it, and we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday still.

One of the worst. Food was horrible. Missed ports.

Had a great cruise and a wonderful time in Sydney, disappointed that we missed Akaroa as we had reserved an excursion for the alpine train ride, and Melbourne.

This was a very unorganized and disappointing experience, you would think this was the first time they put together a cruise and not an established name in cruising.

Was expecting a lot more from this cruise line given the cost, little dissappointed

Great cruise with good staff. Good layout of ship. Some stuck up passengers. Ship could do with some areas repainted. Internal pool area was used daily. Staff was very helpful.

I chose this cruise for the ports and the large number of sea days. Cunard made it so easy to just relax and enjoy the trip. No long lines or waits. More than enough staff to care for all the passengers. If you booked your excursion with the ship you got priority on tenders. Very organized in getting people on and off the ship. Would I do it again? Yes, in a minute it was agreat cruise.

Also enjoy a cruise on Celebrity and this time was as equally good. The Cruise Director, Damian, was excellent.

A wonderful cruise, with a great itinerary on a lovely ship.

Good nice food and play bingo games buffet breakfast was good

Not a very good experience on a ship that is very overrated. Staff unfriendly, entertainment during sea days not of the standard that I expected.

Loved every minute, took a day or so to settle in and find our bearings. Whole trip went so much smoother than we expected. Thanks Royal Carribean.

I’m not sure I will cruise Princess again, but it was a very enjoyable experience and smoothest waters I’ve ever experienced. The area around the ports was quite beautiful on this itinerary. Excursions were pricey. Some evenings entertainment and dining were not spaced well with timing. The ship was very quiet. As stated earlier, embark and debark were excellent.

Loved the cruise but it was too short. Many elderly passengers who could be quite rude. Could never get a seat in the atrium as they were there morning to night!! The coffee in the cafe is terrible. They really need to hire Australian baristas as they always burn the beans and the coffee tastes awful. Stick to tea or the hot chocolate.

To short but fun much prefer a longer cruise dy the time we setteled in it was time to get off

I think this cruise is OK if it is your introduction to cruising. If you go on bigger ships and see how efficient they are then you can only compare them with the lack of efficiency on the Astor.

It was my first cruise and won't be my last, I loved every bit of it. The staff were amazing, please pass on my thanks to them 👍👍

Wonderful I will be doing it again I found the staff over all very helpful I will recommend it to other people some have already booked ready to go
