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.

We went on the Aria from Brisbane to Singapore. It was a very comfortable trip. Of all places we called into Dilli, East Timor. What a hole. Shame on P and O to waste a day.

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
