South Pacific - Australia Cruise Reviews

Great cruise, food timings could have been expanded, very relaxing, great cruise director, NZ AWESOME!

We had our best holiday to date on the Majestic Princess to New Zealand. It had some frustrating times (like worrying about the kids in the pool - aged 11 and 9) but overall it was a fantastic and relaxing holiday. We were really able to live in the moment and forgot about the everyday stress at home. We have already booked our next Princess cruise and will be back on the Majestic Princess!

I was extremely disappointed when I was advised that I had missed out on the tour of the ship, I was one of the first to put my name down and to miss out was not a happy experience as I was so much looking forward to the experience 😡

It was one of the most amazing cruises I’ve been on. I’ve been on the allure of the seas and this was a lot more fun. There are no words to really say how amazing this cruise was! I loved it and will be back again!

was great but could improve. Dinning room food wasn't faboulous.......

We traveled with another couple which allowed for fun times. When I first boarded I was surprised and somewhat dismayed at the condition of the ship. The safety demonstration was a farce as the speaker was not working in our section. Fellow passengers complained and the crew member acknowledged it was faulty. I decided I’m on here for 11 nights so make the most of it, I lowered my expectations, had fun with our friends and were grateful for the hardworking crew who make the ship!!

The cruise was very good ,the Captain.crew and everyone was very friendly,ports of call excellent,traveled with my granddaughter and a great time was had by all ,good group of 16,17 year olds on board, Thank you ms Nooradam and HAL

Had a great time, went with a group of Red Hat Society ladies

Viking Ocean is moving too fast. As a prior and a future ticketed client, I was disappointed in this Cruise. The Australian included excursions were terrible. Not enough time by the company in evaluating and assuring consistency of each group. The Eorld Cafe has regressed and the repetition of foods was disappointing. The wines were repeAted too often as opposed to prior experienced total variety .The Service was superb to the expected standard. The Cruise Director is a talent and SUPERB. As a whole, it’s clear the Line is moving too quickly SND is forgetting its roots on how it hot to where it WAS.

The ports were nice but the ship is not set up very well and not run very well.

Nice boat, good food, INTERNET DOES NOT WORK. Ports of call were average. this is not a cruise for families at that time. The age demographic was between 70-90. if you don’t have a walker or a wheel chair you would feel out of place

We had an absolutely amazing family holiday, loved every minute, so much credit to your amazing staff for also making our holiday relaxing, special mention to Rose our room steward, she was so beautiful and helpful

Overall it was an enjoyable cruise. Didn't like that everything was in US dollars and our AU dollar was so bad that what seemed good ended up costing so much more. Some of the food was blah and the coffee was awful. Learnt to ask for English bacon.

Great staff and New Zealand is beautiful. Loved Picton, Napier & Akoroa and Milford Sounds. Christmas day on the ship was disappointing with no Christmas menu and no Christmas Carols or festivities (they had this all on New Years Eve) very disappointed but the staff were amazing. Too much upselling constantly on the ship and constant additional costs for everything when it was already a more expensive cruise with being a Christmas New Year Cruise. Not our favourite ship out of the other couple of cruises we have done. But wonderful staff that made it very memorable.

We really enjoyed our cruise and made some wonderful new friends. This was the 4th time we have cruised to New Zealand on the Celebrity Solstice. We did expect that being a Christmas/New Year cruise that there would have been more celebrations and traditional Christmas meals. New Year was celebrated more than Christmas. On Christmas day it was Happy Holidays and not Merry Christmas - for a cruise in Australia/New Zealand why did we have to respect the beliefs of the minority. When we are in their country that's fine, but they should respect us in our country. This was my only disappontment.

Lovely destination with lots of beautiful places to see . Cunard should be reserved for the aged as all passengers over 70 . All activities and entertainment aimed at the aged . Food average. Been on a few other cruises before, cunard definitely not for me .

Fantastic cruise. Very pleasantly surprised. Well done NCL. We will be back.

I could not believe how calm the Tasman Sea was, traveling in both directions. Sea conditions are always a lottery when on a cruise. I loved it. Happy trails everybody.

It was our 7th cruise 1st with Cunard It was very enjoyable We are Nu Vogue & Sequence Dances, It was a little disappointing that we had little opportunity to do those dances . The dance floor in the Queens room had mostly Freestyle Dances ,very repetitious . Foxtrot ,quickstep rumba, jive & cha cha. I estimated About 80% of the dances on the ship ,were Sequence dance. So we and others would have liked a bit more Sequence dances.

Great cruise, pity we couldn’t get to all the ports due to weather, but enjoyed it anyway 😊
