South Pacific - Australia Cruise Reviews

We enjoyed ourselves, meet some lovely people. We will definitely go on another one.

Very good for the most part. Wait staff and chefs were very helpful and cheerful.

Absolutely no complaints ... except that I didn't do enough on board.. My fault.. Top cruise. I loved the Rocky cyclone weather, the wind, the scenery & meeting up with American passengers from Diamond.

The ship is getting old and showing it. Unless you go to the speciality restaurants, stick to the buffet. Definitely take in the Ice Shows as this is best thing onboard. Don't expect fast service at the bars or restaurants so take a deep breath and try to enjoy what is there to see. Try to engage the staff because they won't start the conversation but overall the price reflects what you receive.

Best cruise so far great staff very helpful AAA+

The three days was just for gambling, drinking and you can guess the last, not so much of a holiday vibe, all around a good cruise.

First cruise. We loved cruising. Just maybe a smaller ship and less people next time. Abit overwhelmed by the size and where to go. Not a lot of help offered to us.

A great experience overall for our first cruise. We had two more sea days than anticipated which was a bit disappointing of course as we missed two whole ports. The weather let us down the first5 days, no ones fault and not the end of the world but naturally disappointing. We did the ships tour which we loved. All in all, it was fantastic, the staff, the food, the cabin and the entertainment. The Golden is a beautiful ship.

coffee tea etc only in limited areas.one end of ship, other ships available through out . pools not able to be accessed by ladder.need steps.

We thought going on a Celebrity cruise ship would be a step up from Royal Caribbean as they are sister ships... but we were disappointed :-( The decor was impressive and there were many bars to choose from but only after about 5pm. The very large lounge at the top of the boat was very comfortable and a great place to sit and relax... and although there was a bar in the middle it was rarely open.

Great summer ship, not a lot to do if weather is crap, how about bringing the movies inside to the Solstice theatre with some pop corn

Overall cruise experience is "Fair". The voyage from/to Sydney to NZ were very rough at Tasman Sea. Many passenger experienced seasick at sea. The Horizon Court Buffet foods were terrible with poor quality and limited food choices served. The waiters at the Buffet were not attentive to customers. They do not offer drinks at the table. But, focus on busing the tables instead. Traditional Dining at dinner was "Fair" with 3 Stars. Dinner menu is okay and the waiters are good at dinner. Our room steward was excellent!. He kept our room clean at all times. The Princess Theater production shows were good. Bravo Production was excellent! The Princess singers and dancers were great too.

Overall great cruise, with many nice ports of call, friendly ship which never felt crowded or rushed, small enough to get to know many other people, great crew, and despite its small size and less offerings than bigger ships, there was plenty to do.

This cruise had a wonderful relaxing experience not too many things happening at once. The staff, waiters And cleaners were great. One little issue I had was I am hearing impaired they should have movies or TV in room that's has subtitles or shows that has screen with subtitles or interpreters that way I can understand what is going on so we are not missing out a lot of things. I believe deaf people deserve to have captions or interpreters on the cruise to have much better enjoyable experience.

Loved the staff!!!👍😳 always smiling😃😀 the ship was great!!!!👍

Overall we had a very good time on the ship, the food was excellent as was our wait service. My only complaint was with the location of our room the noise at night, it was very loud. There were live bands every night until almost midnight. They really need to do something about this and change it.

This was our first cruise and we all just loved it. Being able to do eat anytime and so much good stuff to do on board. I'm not sure I would bother paying for a balcony next time. We only used it for wet togs! We will definitely do another cruise.

This was our first cruise. Thirteen nights from Melbourne, Australia, with many ports of call around the country of New Zealand, then back to Melbourne. A very relaxing voyage even with all the activities. The excursions can wear a person out but they are so exciting, you are urged to carry on.

Pleasant Christmas and New Year cruise, more could perhaps be made of Christmas

Would go again tomorrow but to a different destination, done New Zealand, give me warmer climates.
