South Pacific - Australia Cruise Reviews

The balcony stateroom was wonderful. The service was very, very good throughout the ship but especially in the dining rooms. We enjoyed most of the shows very much.

Very enjoyable cruise and friendly and helpful staff. Would appreciate you considering doing away with smoking in designated areas of the ship.

This was our third time on the Spirit. We love the crew, Stu the Cruise Director and the wonderful captain. The shows were good and new Australian touches were being added. There was construction in the middle of the night that we had to complain about but overall we loved it. Jessie and Show Band were the highlight.

We found the cruise itinerary was very good in itself though, as always, more time in ports would be good. All of the ports had something to offer in scenery or activities and the local folks were very helpful and warm. The cruise gave us the overview we wanted to decide if we wanted to take later vacations in Aust/NZ. We'd recommend the cruise and land touring.

The ship was fine and the stateroom spacious would always recommend a balcony on a trip such as this one

The ship rooms are not what we have been use to and the baths are to small.

Nice ship and excellent staff but horrible shore excursions.

Very well laid out and easy to maneuver around. The crew and staff were very friendly, helpfull and attentive.

The Voendam was refurbished less than a year ago and an excellent job was done. All areas have an exciting vibrant appearance

The ship was very pretty and had lots of things to do or not do.

It could use some updating...the theater looked dated!

Bathrooms not kept clean. Food was not as good as other ships I have been on. Entertainment by the staff in the main lounge was good but the other lounges was not good at all.

Nice amenities. Children facility was nice and clean. Variety of reasonable priced restuarants (Rita's and Izuma) was great change of pace for us.

The ship was old and not enough choices for dining,only one specialty restaurant. Had to wait for seating at the Italian Restaurant several times.

Very friendly crew and staff. Good food and entertainment facilities.

The ship was looking very old and tired since the last time we sailed on her in 2002. It was sad to see. Plus, we sailed the entire cruise with only one engine working properly which made us miss two ports!

Ship well layed out and in nice shape.

Very nice ship. Excellent itinerary, beautiful ports. Good value.

The ship is wonderfully maintained. As it was my boyfriend's first cruise, he was very impressed by its size and the number of amenities it offered: 4 pools, 10 spas, 6 restaurants, casino and endless bars. However, as it was my 9th cruise, I was less impressed. Yes the service was amazing, but it is on every cruise--some even more than this one. Our room steward knew us by name anytime he saw us around the ship. The itinerary was okay. Keep in mind that the Fjords day is an at sea day only. So you have 3 at sea days in a row, which can lead to a bit of cabin fever, even on such a large ship. If you're going on your first cruise, like my boyfriend, and are above the age of 35 (unlike us) this would be a good destination/ship.

The ship was nice. The activities on the many sea days was not very exciting and the food in the dining room was not impressive. Over all the experience was bland. The ports were great but I was not overly impressed with Princess as a whole.
