South Pacific - Australia Cruise Reviews

Celebrity Edge was our 1st ever cruise and they did not disappoint me. Makes me want to go on another cruise.

Go on a different cruise line it will definitely be better than this one!!!

We've tried the rest and always come back to Celebrity

Interesting trip, and love it. One thing disppointed was anytime dining room seating: first night we was guided to the table, but did nt let us seated, let us waiting at the corridor for long time; secong night it happened again, the empty table was available, but not let us seated; the third night we was seated with 10 people while an empty table was next to out table. We were never came to this dining room again.

Loved seeing the East Coast of Australia. The sea views were amazing. Excursions went well.

Pros: - staff is friendly & efficient - MDR menu & food is remarkably better than on RCI US based ships Cons: - Windjammer isn’t open until 7am. Not even a small section for light bfast - mattress is much too hard - Toilet paper is very rough - Didn’t inform us of port cancellation until after we were scheduled to arrive (app notification would have been helpful) - Offer specific areas in the dining rooms for guests without children - The number of forks with bent tines is atrocious App - hard to find specific things (ie operating hours of guest services; Diamond Lounge; temperature outside; etc). A search function would help.

the ever-present pop music in public spaces is annoying; in the dining facilities and other public spaces it's recorded, but there is frequent, amplified live singing in the center of the ship. like most cruise ships, the spa mixes useful, but very expensive, treatments (massage) with pseudoscience (acupuncture, "detoxing", etc.) drink packages are very expensive, especially for non-alcoholic drinks, as is laundry service (e.g. a $3 charge for each pair of socks!)

We thoroughly enjoyed every part of this trip. We may even do it again in a few years. Highly recommended. I really like this ship size. 2,000 people but never felt crowded. Other than embarkation and disembarkation, there was never a line to get on or off at port. The NCL excursions were mostly sold out, but we had great luck booking direct through the local visitor's center or online before we sailed.

We understand no one can control the weather, so you just learn to roll with the waves and not let it ruin a perfectly good time.

Great cruise which could have been greater with an itinerary that involved more stops and less days at sea. It was a 10 day cruise essentially that included 5 days at sea which we felt was excessive. The design of the ship and the activities offered as well as the exceptional shopping did more the sea days more enjoyable than usual however.

The Celebrity Edge cruise was an outstanding experience. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Entertainment was world class. Dining in all restaurants was great. The staff was very good in maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness. The briefings given by the embarked Great Barrier Reef Pilot were particularly informative.

Overall is was a good cruise. Loved visiting more of New Zealand and first time in Australia/Tasmania.

Well worth it. Never been to the southern hemisphere and these countries have been on my bucket list for a long time. Great adventure.

Nothing to say. Felt service was less than prior sailings. Probably wouldn't sail on this ship again.

Was a lot of value for what you pay. Biggest disappointment was the excursions. Choose carefully, some over priced, especially Eden. Time in ports to short to do much.

It was our first time in this part of the world. The scenery was beautiful, the cities were clean and safe, and the people were delightful.

Living in Colorado this was a Bucket List vacation. And it did not disappoint. I greatly appreciated the single fare which i was able to get.

The weather was largely fine, though the Tasman Sea crossing was rough. Despite the few negatives, we enjoyed our cruise overall. We were very fortunate to enjoy perfect weather during our Milford Sound cruising.

Going to Australia and New Zealand was a bucket list trip and it was so worth it!! I would go again if I have the chance. Everything we saw and did was just amazing!!!

Highly recommend, would have been an even better experience had the weather cooperated.
