South Pacific Cruise Reviews

it was nice but we expected more from the solstice, better food, better menus and a much better buffet. we had defrosted cold cuts and cakes.

Great cruise, one of the most relaxing cruises we have done, no big cities, nice pacific islands and not a flurry of activities on board

Best cruise ever All of staff were great service great great great

Very well planned route from Sydney around New Zealand. Sydney was a very positive start as itself. All onshore activities were well organized and interesting - ”the main purpose” of the trip. A ” once in lifetime” experience alltogether.

This was an interesting cruise--one that I had wanted for several years. I learned a lot about Australia and New Zealand and New Caledonia that we don't hear much about in the United States. Although our captain had to make decisions about health care and windy conditions, the alternatives were just fine. The ship conditions (food) were good.

Our group of 12 travel buddies, a mix of family and friends, always have a wonderful time on Princess Cruises

Hi trip was OK, but a lot of little issues stopped us from putting deposit on future cruise – It started at beginning – not given cabin number till couple days of sailing, then week later in Vancouver having to move a few cabins up the hall?Re cabin my wife and I hit head or shoulder on bed hanging on wall a few times. Accepted captain’s invite to cocktail party, asked a few passing waiters for a drink(our first) none returned- a message of this was put in captain’s dropbox, we never got a reply, we didn’t bother going to the next FREE cocktail party.At Victoria port we were told about the beautiful gardens – hard to see when you arrive at 7pm. , for other ports the imfo sheet listed many sites, but most were outside the map supplied?We privately booked a -Hop on Hop off at Honolulu, found our way to town and collected tickets( where told because Princess didn’t get enough booking, Hop onHop off, wont invited to the port.)It’s the little thing you remember. Cheers Robert (Bob) Randle.

Enjoyed myself was a good cruise to Queensland, to many Tender ports not nice when the wind and seas are up.

We had done these Ports before but had not been on this Ship before. We did enjoy the Cruise, however I would probably choose a different ship next time with more on board activities and maybe a younger demographic. My husband and I are in our early 50's and we had our 24 year old daughter with us.

I am 42 and was in the younger age category. The majority was 60 and way over. Also, a lot of ports say they have wi-fi but it is all password protected so it's hard to connect.

This cruise is for adventure seekers who want to experience gorgeous water. It is not for shopping and restaurants/bars. You must have an adventurers heart and be physically fit. The hikes are demanding and most of the tours are water sports like snorkel, scuba and swimming. The ship as 56 stairs from the bottom deck to the top with no elevators at all. It is an amazing experience and you go for the gorgeous vistas and unbelievably clear waters.

It was worth the money!!! (that's about sums it up!)

Good, as usual. The Crew make a Cruise and this was no exception. Princess have an outstanding Team who make every effort to ensure you have a memorable holiday. Food was excellent and the Ports on this cruise are brilliant.

We were overwhelmed by our first cruise from the moment we stepped on the ship and didn’t want to disembark at all.

Was a great 1st cruise, my partners 4th with you. Thank you for a fabulous 1st experiance. You so so many things right - staff were tremendous - shows a blast and an awesome cruise director I proposed to my partner on this cruise - even picked out and brought a ring onboard. Can't wait for our next cruise with Royal Caribbean .

Awesome ship with heaps of entertainment and awesome food and service

We had a group of 10 taking 4 rooms. 2 adults, 3 young men aged 18, 3 girls of 17yrs, a 12yr old boy and a 7yr old boy. We all had a fantastic time. We were all first time cruisers and cannot wait to do our next one!

Found music & entertainment aimed at older people , line dancing , bingo , type of music (violins , ukulele ) ( not much popular current music ) The DJ called us boring because we didn't get up to line dance !! We prefer rockier/current music , even though we are 50.

My 2nd time on this beautiful,happy ship and I would go on it again-love it and cannot fault it in any way shape or form highly reccommend it-My 1st experience was in a mini suite and this time in an inside cabin and it was as good except for the balcony and extra room but you are not in the cabin alot so unless it's for a special occasion I would do an inside cabin again. Loved the experince even though it was only 3 days from Melbourne to Sydney and my 1st one was Melbourne to Tassy and back for 6 days-go on this ship you will have no regrets and this is my 6th cruise and it is still my favourite one!!!

hmmm rm steward was rude and pushy he insisteded he clean rm on last day while we where trying to shower and get ready for breakfast . He wasnt happy we bought a drink over night. He said it would come out of his wages. that was not a good experiance.
