South Pacific - Australia Cruise Reviews

A cruise is a wonderful way to visit New Zealand and part of Australia. The majestic is a wonderful ship and probably meets the expectations of most passengers. Those booking this for a cruise should expect an older crowd.

It is our second time with the Royal Caribbean cruise. This is better than the first one. Meet lovely people, watcheded fantastic shows, love the North Star and the iFly. Nice relaxing holidays for us.

Pretty good cruise overall. See comment above regarding deck chair noise in 8147 from the Lido deck. Service seemed a bit less than we've encountered on other Holland America cruises. Still very good but somewhat inconsistent (except the Pinnacle Room and Bar).

Beautiful itinerary. We had a great time catching up with friends from previous cruise.

The ship is only two years old so it's in great shape. On demand movies and TV shows was nice. The only live TV was new channels and 2 sports channels. It would have been nice to have at least the three major US networks on there. The one thing I wish Princess would consider is to have the port times later on the Australia/New Zealand cruises. The majority of the animals in these two countries are noctornal, so if you're on a day excursion, all you get to do is see an animal sleep. (Not too exciting).

Best honeymoon we could have ever asked for! Thank you!

The itinerary was wonderful from Sydney around New Zealand. The weather was perfect which added to our pleasure. Highly recommend this itinerary.

This was our first cruise with Holland. We had the good fortune of sailing with a superior captain who knew how to motivate his staff. All crew encounters were pleasant. Your folks actually seemed happy to be aboard. The cigar room was a gem!!!!!!!!!!

The service great, food good, boat tours where not what they offer. Milford Sound tour was suppose to take us on the gondola to see Queenstown and the Kiwi and they did not do that.

We chose this cruise because we liked the places it was going to go, some of us wanted more seatime to take advantage of all the activities offered onboard, we were able to use FF miles for our flights and the timing though not perfect for us was doable. Our concerns were that Cunard might be more formal than we wanted to be on vacation and I have to admit it was. Dressing for dinner and the shows every night required packing a lot of clothes. I'm not sure I would choose Cunard again.

The Norwegian boat experience was very similar to what I have experenced on Royal Caribbean. Both are excellent cruise lines.

This cruise was a "bucket list" adventure. It did not disappoint. New Zealand was so much more than I had hoped for when I was planning this trip. Every port had something of interest that was a bit different from the others. The ship itself is a wonder. All I can say is that I would do it all again in a heartbeat and not regret the repeat.

This was probably the best vacation ever. The ship and crew were wonderful. The ship review should have gotten a 5.0, but they added in the port excursions as well.

The ports were worth the whole cruise. Very happy we went!

Loved the ship, Renovations were very nice. Very easy to navigate, restaurants and bars were great.

We enjoyed the cruise so much, we booked another one before we got off the ship!

This cruise was exactly what I'd hoped for - In spite of not having any luggage for the first 10 days, I had tons of fun. The ports are beautiful, the scenery is beautiful, and the crew is fantastic.

Very fun but not enough time in some ports. Entertainment was excellent!! Staff was very friendly and helpful.

after 1 OK cruise said I would never cruise again...this cruise has totally changed my mind been on 2 others since but this is my favorite ship..it rained a lot but there was always something to do..everything was convienient good size ship
