Pacific encounter 1 Fenghua and Weiheng, QLD, Australia, Mar 2024

Fantastic trip, everything is perfect. There are so many shows and the services were good. Food was delicious. We will join again next time.

Good Value cruise to NZ with P&O 0 Kath, QLD, Australia, Feb 2024

I did have a good time. Too long for me though - 14 day cruise with 5 shore days. I hate to queue which is a big part of ship life. Loved the kind, hard working staff and had lots of laughs and singalongs in the Encounter Hotel. Great price and no complaints about P&O.

A 5 day cruise which went in circles outside Brisbane 2 Alick, SA, Australia, Jan 2024

Since I had not been on a cruise, I booked this 5 day cruise from Brisbane to Airlie Beach and back with P&O. Due to a cyclone, the vessel could not go to Airlie beach, so then just went in circles, with a stop off at Moreton Island, which is about 25 km from Brisbane. Despite the vessel looking old once on board, with peeling wall paper and obvious ...read more

Whitsunday Cruise - Wow! 4 Jan, QLD, Australia, Oct 2023

For a first cruise the Whitsunday cruise is unbeatable. The P&O terminal and onboard staff, from your welcome to your farewell, are so helpful. An abundance of activities for kids and adults to do. The menus at every eatery and restaurant provide a great choice for dining. Rooms are clean and the beds are so comfy. Easy and well organised tender service ...read more

Family holiday 3 Robyn and Ron, Qld, Australia, Oct 2023

We went along to celebrate our daughter's birthday. 4 adjoining rooms (thanks Georgie) meant we were together. Food was great, rooms OK, not so but adequate. We had a good time with a lot of other people. Adults only pool horrible as to the smokers being there so no bonus for us but overall a good trip spend with the family.

Barrier Reef Discovery 4 Caroline and Andrew, New Zealand, Sep 2023

Global Journeys and particularly Rachael were beyond helpful and easy to deal with, even though we were in different countries - Thank you Rachael. It was the first cruise my husband and I have ever been on and so have nothing to compare it with but we did enjoy the cruise. The entertainment was top notch and the food was good too. I would recommend ...read more
