South Pacific Cruise Reviews

This Australian vacation was planned as a break from the gloomy winter in Olympia WA in the USA. We began our cruise in Brisbane Australia headed for a couple small islands in the South Pacific. First two days at sea; This ship is showing its age. It feels very closed in compared with newer ships. The food selection and quality is below par. The servers are friendly and welcoming. I have ...

From the moment we arrived until we left we were entertained and cared for like royalty. Our Gorgeous Suite was everything, and more, than we had anticipated. Our Rockstar Agent Gavin was an outstanding host and took care of us like family. We had some minor reservations prior to boarding that VV may simply be too lively for our age group (early 60’s). Well this concern was quickly dispelled as ...

Great service, fabulous immersive entertainment plus a wide choice of specialty fine dining all included. Cabins are clean and comfortable as you would expect with a new ship. Plenty of outdoors areas to relax in the sun although the wind can be a problem at times. Indoor public areas could be limited in bad weather. Virgin voyages come at a premium price, but you will not be nickeled and ...

The ship is less than 12 months old and as you'd expect it's in immaculate condition , we had an Interior cabin it's much larger compared to other Interior Cabins we've had with P&O , Carnival , MSC & Princess . The food is truly next level , I've cruised with the Lines I've mentioned above but Virgin's food is certainly out in front ! , cruise Staff I've found excellent on all cruise lines and ...

What a hoot.................but only for 5 days. couldn't repeat the shows (btw don't ask us to write a plot summary of any of the shows - lol). very inflexible with any food tweaks even though they ask before every meal if you have any food allergies. asked for a simple salad or a bowl of veggies some nights or to adjust the cream content of a rich meal and the answer was always a no no no!!! ...

I had a great time on this cruise, I was a solo traveller and everyone was really nice and friendly. I'd recommend the solo traveller meet up held on the first few nights. A few things I noticed tho. The Evian water package that cost me AUD$40 (pre cruise discount) turned out to be cheap supermarket water that would cost AUD$10, see pic. There weren't water fountains to fill up water ...

This was my seventh cruise with Royal Caribbean (Second on Quantum) and I have cruised with three other lines so I could claim to be a seasoned cruiser to a degree. First the good: Great friendly cabin and waiter staff (with one exception). Junell and Eugene in the main dining room were excellent while supervisor Rolston was very competent. Edgar looked after our room very ...

My review of our Resilient Lady sailing from Feb 22-27. We had an absolute blast on this ship! Almost everything was top-notch, from the ship itself to the food to the cabin to the staff. The staff (ranging from stewards to Happenings cast to servers in the restaurants and Galley) were all delightful, energetic, and seemed genuinely happy to be there. I loved all the cool design elements in the ...

Virgin was advertising with new cruises in Australia, so we thought let's try its, as we been on many (10) cruises (80% are Princess Cruises). There is nothing where we could pick on, all the staff are carrying a warm hart, the food has a big WOW factor we could eat that everyday, one restaurant that was jumping out was the Test Kitchen different but yammy. The service on board was excellent, we ...

Having being one of the few that was lucky enough to get the cruise on Velocity Points, we were looking forward to seeing what this Cruise Line offered compared to others. The ship itself is absolutely beautiful. The layout of the ship is completely different, I think due to the fact that there is no main dining room and there is also no central broadwalk. The entertainment areas are a lot ...
