Sydney (Australia) Cruise Reviews

Singularly the worst cruise i've ever been on, and i've been many, with more booked this year. The good points.. The ship was clean and the staff were great - particularly the cabin crew we had. But.. The food was disgraceful.. All complimentary areas were cheap slop - heavily cooked mince or shredded meat pieces in sloppy vegetables or god knows what. And for a piece of fish? Cheap, deep ...

Wow, P&O, you absolutely ruined my holiday, 2 weeks and my hard eared cash down the drain because of your corporate greed for profit over customer satisfaction. We will never set foot on a P&O ship ever again. We have sailed five times with other cruise companies, namely, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity. Decided to give P&O a try as pricing was very competitive. What a huge mistake, it was ...

Oh boy, this is my first Prince's cruise, I have been a steady Carnival cruiser for 20 years, but this trip we changed to Princess. So after 2 at sea days getting from Sydney to New Zealand, the dreaded announcement came on from our captain that the call to the Bay of Islands (1st port-of-call) was getting cancelled due to weather, namely winds about 25kts. That the Majestic couldn't hold her ...

My first time sailing with Cunard having sailed mainly with Royal Caribbean (14 cruises) and I was so disappointed. 1, the stateroom was nice but the balcony was stained and rusty. 2, the ship felt old and tired. 3, the shops on board catered for people who wanted expensive watches and jewellery, ladies clothes, booze and the normal Cunard material. 4, I didn’t purchase the $400+ ...

This cruise was a present from my employer for myself, husband and 3 year old disabled daughter. The first night I got food poisoning from bad fruit. I was very sick the first night into the second day. I was advised to go see the acupuncturist but it was so expensive ($400) AUS and the online doctor was just as expensive. My daughter who is autistic was treated very poorly and my belief, ...

Embarked in Sydney Australia for 12 day cruise to NZ, embarkation was seamless. Throughout the cruise the staff were friendly & went above & beyond. Cannot fault the staff they are the only redeeming factor in the Royal Caribbean experience. In the rooms there are US outlets only, cannot plug in Australian devices, there are no USB ports. Only option was to rent an adapter from customer ...

We picked this cruise to see New Zealand, This compete fast began on a sour note with the ship being 6 hours into the cruise and a death occurred on board, the boat returned to Sydney to remove the dead person. We set back out for New Zealand but the Capt said its a bit of a rough sea so will will cut our speed (10 knots). we were then told because of the time lost we wont be going to ...

We are currently on the January 28th, 2024 Carnival Splendor itinerary now heading back to Syndney. This cruise has been such a disappointment that I felt compelled to write a recent review. To summarize, it is the first time on a Carnival cruise where we are ready to get off of the ship and are embarrassed that our extended family had such a terrible experience for their first cruise. ...

We chose this cruise because it hit the ports we wanted and we had 2 previous cruises on Celebrity that were good. It's a mid line cruise company. First, never again 3,000 passengers. We would meet people and never see them again. Second, that's art? A whole black room with pillars called a work of art. Blech! Goop dropping out of a picture frame, piles of metal welded together? Not ...

Edge sailed to NZ and Australia. Chose it for itinerary. We are 75 year old retired teachers who have sailed over 150 cruises. Poor use of space. One night there was some dancing in the Club and many couples danced. Cruise director was asked about reassigning one of the dance bands to the Club…no change. If you like to sit and listen to music, eat, drink, and have large amount of people almost ...
