Pacific Aria

Just got off the ship 29th Aug. Everything was fine on board, but nothing special. Unfortunately some passengers boarded with the flu (maybe they weren't aware they had the symptoms). But some knew they were unwell and didn't go to the medical Centre as they didn't want to get quarantined. Selfish. Best entertainment by a long way is the Highly Strung Orchestra. Don't miss them. Repertoire and enthusiasm endless.

Just got back from 7 night cruise from Brisbane to Cairns. Had a fantastic time. We had our two kids with us age 11 & 13 and they thoroughly enjoyed the kids club and new friends they made. The cabin with window was comfortable for the 4 of us. Stackla and Rati serviced our room 4235 twice daily and did an amazing job. The food was great. Good variety at THE PANTRY and the restaurants were classy and the food delightful. Pablo and his crew of entertainers were awesome. It was our first cruise as a family and we wished that the cruise was longer. I have already booked our next cruise for 2018. Cheers

Had a really great cruise. Totally different to pacific dawn which was the only other ship I'd been on. Bit smaller and not as much walking from one end to the other Oasis deck was a lot more fun with a pool and plenty of seats. Had tap beer which I love Only real negative was the sail away and theme nights which weren't great and way too crowded in the small areas they had them in.

We loved our holiday. Smoking areas were way too small & very little seating provided. However Aria does not quite have the same atmosphere as sister ship Dawn. will cruise P&O again.... maybe on one of the bigger ships though

We were on the Aria back in May 2017 for a 14 day the Mutiny on the Bounty Cruise . It was our first cruise . The Aria was just the right size of ship to go on if you are going on a first cruise .The cabins are small but enough size considering you don't spend a lot of time in them . Room stewards were excellent in keeping our room tidy . They attended twice a day and often left chocolates and a towel animal on our bed . We also had an itinerary program left on our bed daily featuring the next days activities . There are great bars and shows . The food was awesome and the theme nights were fantastic . The captain and crew did a great job in looking after all of its passengers . We were always well informed of any weather changes . My husband and I found the overall experience amazing and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this ship to anyone.
