Australasia Cruise Reviews

Excellent criuse.. Excellent crew.. Great food....

The cruise was a wonderful experience, one to be remembered. It is a trip that I would recommend to others providing a good balance of time on the ship and time at port. The ship was maintained with a very high level of cleanliness minimizing the risk of spread of sickness. Thank you Sun Princess captain and staff.

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

A short 7 night cruise up Queensland coast. We needed a quick getaway and this fitted the bill. Lots of retail experiences if interested. For us it was about relaxing, enjoying leisurely activities and meeting new people!

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.

My only complaint is that having been on this vessel a year ago, the shows were the same.

Throughly enjoyed this short cruise. We have traveled on this ship 5 times before and still enjoyed everything about her. Great cruise line.

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

A great time was had by everyone on board and will sail with Princess again and recommend princess to all of our family and friends that are looking for a great time on holidays

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

We had cruised with Princess Cruises before so had great expectations for this Cruise across The Tasman.

We were unlucky to strike a week where the weather was terrible and we were cruising through 5-6m swells.

We had a group traveling with us and we had a total of five rooms. One of our guests had water in their room for the entire Cruise. The carpet was totally saturated and the staff were not interested in helping at all. This room was not fit for purpose.

Another party in our group had two young children and they were given a room with bunks that unfolded from the ceiling but these were unable to be used by children under the age of around 8. This meant the parents woke the kids up everytime they got in and out of bed because the children had to sleep in the bed below.

Due to the bad weather everybody sat around in the bars, most of them not drinking so when we wanted to go to a bar for a drink we were unable to. Again the staff had no interest in assisting us.

We paid for Internet for the whole cruise but on the second day the satelite stopped working. The staff would not refund the cost of the internet.

The food in the Anytime dining areas was well below average and the Buffet was horrible. The only restaurant with great food was the Crown Grill.

It was unfortunate that we struck bad weather but it was the condition of the boat and the unwillingness of many of the staff to help with things that made the journey unpleasant.

This is a Cunard review not a ship review Cunard continue to be pathetic Cunard, I can’t begin to express my frustration with this company. Having failed to resolve their web portal problems for weeks. They had an opportunity to excel in customer service over the Covid19 outbreak. Instead they continue with own goals. Firstly they have issued zero communications via personal emails. You only way customers know what going on it to search for info on the web. Then when they allow you to cancel (and this took several calls, despite they had deleted several ports of call) they hang on to your money for a standard twelve days!! The result of this is many people, me included, cannot book anything else until the money is returned. Their excuse is they are busy. What a surprise!!!! Ps don’t bother trying to call them, their call centre queue is measured in 10 of minutes wait time!! Pathetic, they don’t deserve your hard earned cash. Please share far and wide to warn people. Cunard need to up their Customer Service game.

Daily activities were boring. Not really much to do compared to other Princess cruises. Food in buffet wasn't as good. Veggies were under cooked. Seems menu never changed. Alot of lamb dishes. (Friends loved that!) Hamburger grill has great set up to make burgers but burgers sit under heat lamp and dry out so wait for fresh ones!

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

Cruise was fantastic; land excursions very informative. Due to potential bad weather, the captain sailed into Auckland a day early. A land excursion was offered which I took...it was very nice! I met some very nice people who I plan to keep in contact with. Because of America Airlines flight cancellations, was able to stay in 4 extra days.

hmmm rm steward was rude and pushy he insisteded he clean rm on last day while we where trying to shower and get ready for breakfast . He wasnt happy we bought a drink over night. He said it would come out of his wages. that was not a good experiance.

My first cruise and it was great. Staff were extra friendly and helpful.

Best short cruise available. Feels like a weeks holiday

Nice week off. Relaxing perhaps include better coffee in soft drink package as other cruise lines do. After being on numerous cruises the art stuff is getting old.

I was very disappointed in this cruise I was not happy with the room or the food that was in the horizon court. 

The room was so small for the 4 people in my family it was almost unbearable and to top it all off my husband & I was not allowed to have our beds together because of some lame reason of it was to dangerous for my children on the bunks but my sister had 1 child in a bunk above her bed and she was allowed to have the beds together. It did not make sense to me the difference between 1 child in 1 bunk or 2 children in 2 bunks.
