South Pacific Cruise Reviews

The queen Elizabeth is beautiful in every corner she has style and class in every aspect of design the crew were amazing and room was very comfortable

All excellent . Travelled with my mum (80’s) and this was a great cruise to go on from our NZ base and easy options for ports

Lovely time with beautiful views and excellent service. Highly Recommend

An unforgettable cruise. Met some very nice people at our table. Cannot fault anything on this beautiful cruise on Explorer of the Seas.

As a first cruise, this was everything we could wish for. We were a part of a group of 55 women scrapbooking in the conference room; the trip was arranged by Mel Kenedy from Unmistakeable Creations. We had plenty of time to scrapbook, sight see and use the ships facilities. We would not hesitate to recommend Royal Caribean or Unmistakeable Creations.

It is a beautiful ship and if you are after a resort style holiday that's what you get. If you'd prefer the sounds and smells of the ocean I'd be looking at something else. I much preferred Voyager or Radiance.

I can’t think of a better way to holiday ever...the shows were unsurpassed and the food was amazing the cruise director Joff Eaton is without a doubt one of the best I just loved the whole experience...

As an introduction to cruising this cruise was fantastic and has convinced my husband to ask when is the next one. Well done.

Ovation is a lovely ship food was fantastic, ship kept amazingly clean, staff all lovely. Be sure you allow plenty of time to get off the ship on port days, we missed our bus(private company) at Wellington. Adults only solarium is a great place till relax but they need more of the lounges not enough to go round. Loved the north Star beautiful way to see NZ coast. The I-fly was fun definitely recommend just wish they would allow more than one go! Lifts can be really slow stairs can be quicker. Dodgem cars fun but the line ups can be huge.

It was a great cruise in every way from start to finish

The internet package is stupidly expensive!!! This cruise was for older people 55+

We normally travel with Celebrity but decided to have a change of cruiseline. I think we picked the incorrect ship to try Princess out with. We found that many of the passengers were much older than our 60 years and the ship seemed to cater for that age group. One passenger who has done many Princess cruises said that this cruise was not the norm. Sad that we picked this one as we cannot compare apples with apples. However, I would like to do another cruise with Princess just to see if we had picked the wrong one!

Such an easy and comfortable way to see a new and very different and beautiful area of our world!

Princess. Stop treating gluten free people like second class citizens!!!!! We enjoy cookies, pastries, cakes, pies etc just like the rest of you. Princess offers delectable goodies at breakfast for glutinous passengers and only chocolate chip or plain muffins or pancakes (all from the same tasteless mix) and toast for its gf passengers

My biggest disappointment with the island experience was that the coral was no longer as colorful as they were only a couple years ago. Warming ocean temperatures have bleached the coral so they are no longer as spectacular as they once were. Consequently, my snorkeling expeditions were not as exciting as I had expected. Moreover, the fish populations are no longer as prolific as they use to be. So on the whole, I found the cruise experience more interesting then the island excursions. I took this cruise at the end of February, which is technically their rainy season, but I really appreciated the partial clouds that hid the direct sun. Even with partial overcast skies it was still very warm (and very humid), but at least we didn't get sunburned. One of the attached photos shows the size comparison between the Wind Spirit with 138 passengers versus and the Paul Gauguin with 3,000. By comparison, the Wind Spirit looks so much more civilized.

For our first time on a ship it was impressive and beautiful! It was a great way to be introduced to cruising.

We were on a 12 day cruise from Australia to New Zealand. The ports were amazing and there were quite a few excursions to choose from. In certain locations I don’t recommend an excursion: Sydney, Melbourne & Auckland. I do recommend taking advantage of seeing the wildlife.

Overall the cruise was good. We always enjoy ourselves.

Had an absolute ball, we have the complete brespect for our Captain as he kept us safe by extending our cruise and went out to sea to avoid bad weather. At no point did we feel scared or uncomfortable. The only thing I would change is if passengers need to be evacuated from there room they should be invited to stay in the dining room with access to tea & coffee so they aren’t just wandering around waiting to go back to their room. Every issue the Crew and Captain encountered they handled with professionalism. We have booked our next cruise already.

Had a very satisfying cruise a bit bumpey on the way got caught up in high waves and winds but ship and staff copt well very happy will do again
