    Great cruise on pacific explorer - Cruise Review

    Barb sailed with P&O Cruises onboard in July, 2017

    "Loved cruising on pacific explorer amenities are great especially oasis area for adults only Found the pantry amazing also had a specialty meal at the Shells and Bones restaurant the crayfish Thermidor was to die for My only dispointment was the nightly shows were at 7pm and 9 pm when most people where at dinner 7.30 and 9 30 would better suit most people but that was a minor problem Plenty of sun loungers even though ship was full (school holidays ) never had a problem relaxing This ship would please every age group Thanks crazy cruisers Have been on many cruises (14) and really enjoyed this one Barb and Neil"

    Sun Princess cruise to the Pacific Islands - Sun Princess Cruise Review

    Peter sailed with Princess Cruises onboard Sun Princess in June, 2017

    "We have just returned from a wonderful cruise to the Pacific Islands on The Sun Princess. We have completed 25 cruises so have had plenty of experience with many different cruise line and can truely say that this was one of most enjoyable cruises. Our booking with CRAZYCRUISES was completed very smoothly and would recommend them for anyone seeking a cruise at a wonderful price. From the moment we boarded the ship in Sydney we were very impressed with the service provided onboard. We have cruised with Princess lines on a variety of their ships before and knew what we would experience. We weren't disappointed. The entertainment alone was worth the price! The production shows were fantastic! The ship itself is not one of the newer megaliners that hold 4,000 passengers or more. Its medium size allows the entertainment staff to provide a large variety of activities without them being swamped by too many participants and also allows you to get from one venue to another quite easily. A lovely teak wooded promenade deck allows for a 500 metre "lap" to walk off the inevitable excess calories from dining in either the main dining room or Horizon court buffet which had a very sensible and varied menu each day. The stand of cleanliness onboard was A1 and staff were mindful ( and insistent)of each passenger using the provided hand sanitizer at each dining venue without the "washy washy" jingle that occurs on other cruise lines . There were plenty of movies shown onboard in either the main show lounge or on the outdoor screen as well as live sports shown for those who like their "footy". The itinerary was great with 6 port days out of 12. We had been to the ports before so knew what was there and did our own thing,...but the ship did offer many and varied excursion for those who wanted that option. All in all we would highly recommend the Princess ships but at the same time be willing to jump onboard any good deal offered by Crazycruises."

    Lovely First Experience on the Pacific Jewel - P&O - Pacific Jewel Cruise Review

    Samantha sailed with P&O Cruises onboard P&O - Pacific Jewel in June, 2017

    "Everything about my first experience on a cruise was truly lovely. From Kevin at the doc helping our group of 23 people get luggage take to the correct spot, getting lined up and in the correct area and getting on to the boat. Once on the boat we found our lovely rooms neat and tidy and a lot of lovely staff member greeting us. The food was great all we seemed to do was eat and drink and lay in the sun beds. Listen to the fantastic live music and watch the comedy shows all of the entertainment was fantastic. There was so much variety to choose from. All in all for my first experience on a cruise it meet and exceeded all of my expectations."

    Mutany of the Bounty Cruise - P&O - Pacific Aria Cruise Review

    Diane sailed with P&O Cruises onboard P&O - Pacific Aria in May, 2017

    "I was very happy with my room and my stewards they kept it very clean and we're friendly it is a thankless job but I appreciate them. As for the entertainment it was brilliant the only thing was that they didn't have much during the day it was good if you liked trivia. The food was excellent I loved they way that the crew served you at the Pantry instead of self service I think there was a lot less wasted food. I really loved the dinning rooms and the staff were friendly. Thought the drinks were expensive. "

    Excellent Carnival Cruise - Carnival Spirit Cruise Review

    Glen sailed with Carnival Cruises onboard Carnival Spirit in May, 2017

    "It was my first Cruise and the overall experience was fantastic. The crew, cabin and staff were excellent. The Food, entertainment and facilities on board were excellent. I had an internal cabin located on Deck 7 at the rear which was very good. I had a good deal due to last minute cruises and would do it again as a result. Didn't get an upgrade that as I was hoping for but it didn't matter as everything turned out to be an excellent experience. "

    State of Origin Ukulele cruise - P&O - Pacific Jewel Cruise Review

    Michael sailed with P&O Cruises onboard P&O - Pacific Jewel in June, 2017

    "I went on Pacific Jewel 7 day cruise to the Qld State of Origin & Ukulele cruise. The State of Origin & Ukulele components of the cruise were great, the other aspects of the cruise were ordinary to say the least eg some staff were very pleasant but the majority of staff were not very friendly at all. The food in the Pantry was passable however quantities were small , if you wanted a Chinese cuisine meal you had to pay an extra $49 per person ( over the top)!! If you wanted a restaurant quality meal you paid an extra $99 per head ( way over the top)!! There was no fruit available unless the chef approved it & then the quality was very poor, green bananas , rock hard apples and pears with no flavour. Filtered water stations were few & far between and the cakes for desert were very dry. At the end of the cruise we were given an envelope entitled Gratuities which I thought at the outset was covered by our fare & made us feel greatly inadequate Overall, we have been on a number of cruises & this was by far the worst, would be very unlikely to travel on the Pacific Jewel again.

    cyclone donna - P&O - Pacific Aria Cruise Review

    anthony sailed with P&O Cruises onboard P&O - Pacific Aria in May, 2017

    "My first cruise was a bit disappointing, the staff on the ship could not have been better & the food was the best every day as was the entertainment . My room was excellent but was looking a bit old (4166) , now the bad we only cruised to nomea and missed other islands because of cyclone donna , nomea is dirty & the smell was terrible it should be off all cruise list for that reason . So we stayed their a extra day why I don't know would of been better going back towards brisbane and calling in on other islands . P&O were very professional in most respect but offering no compansation what so ever , not even free internett to let love ones know what was happening. I believe they should give me a cruise at discount , same room same islands or elsewhere to fulfill their obligations as what I paid for ."

    Good first cruisers cruise. - P&O - Pacific Aria Cruise Review

    Gay sailed with P&O Cruises onboard P&O - Pacific Aria in May, 2017

    "Air conditioning was too cold throughout the ship. Washing cabin windows at 3am not conducive to a good night's sleep. Shower was over the bath in our cabin. Good idea to check when booking. Food was good."
