Recent Cruise Reviews What our clients are saying about their latest cruise adventures

Great cruise!   , VIC, Australia, Jul 2024
We really enjoyed our cruise over to New Zealand. I enjoyed the food and activities put on by P&O in particular. It was excellent value for money. I wish they had a bigger dance floor for the theme nights. Particularly on the Gatsby night, there were lots of people dressed up but not able to dance because the platform in the atrium was too small. I ...read more would recommend that the Blue Room or Explorer bar is set up for the party from the outset. It was particularity odd having the party in the small atrium with lots of people standing around on the stairs looking down. The boat is a bit tired but I suppose that's to be expected given it is being sold to carnival soon. Overall, we had a great time.
Greek Islands Cruise   , NSW, Australia, Jun 2024
Having cruised many times, our comments are based on our actual experiences on this cruise compared to others. Tracey selected a perfect cabin position relative to our everyday needs - near the private dining room, theatre and lifts. Boarding was somewhat basic in the harbour but we are reminded that we were in Greece. Notwithstanding, it was incident-free ...read more and quick including our luggage. The recommended mini-suite cabin was a wise move and very comfortable including the large bed. The cabin service was excellent as were the entire staff - nothing too much trouble. The varied food was excellent which included free drinks with all meals. The renovated older ship was most successful and attractive.

In summary, a great cruise all-up which we can recommend. The ports we visited were very busy so next time we would try and sail outside Greek tourist season. Santorini was crowded and queues both ends of the cableway were crazy. We queued for two to three hours in 38c heat and no overhead protection. We ended up walking down the 588 steps slippery with donkey c..p everywhere. We in concert with many tourists would not ride the poor overworked donkeys on principle. We did not find a single waste bin anywhere so consequently, there were plastic and glass bottles and plastic bags everywhere - disgraceful. Certainly not a village to be visited a second time. Thank you for arranging such a wonderful enjoyable cruise for us.
Iconic transatlantic voyage experience     , QLD, Australia, Jun 2024
We absolutely loved our Queen Mary 2 Southampton to New York transatlantic crossing. Everything was perfect. We felt the food was higher quality than our experience of other cruise ships and the staff were far more attentive and seemed happier. The quality of the lectures was outstanding. We had lectures from Mensun Bound from Oxford University on his ...read more expedition which found Shackleton’s ship the Endurance I. Antarctica. Other lectures on the Concord by an ex Concord pilot were also outstanding and lectures about the history of espionage. All outstanding.

The ship itself is older but has been refurbished so is excellently maintained. We actually loved the size of the ship. It was large enough to contain all of the usual amenities but it was significantly smaller than some so we found it excellent to get around and feel like we were close to everything. One of the best aspects is that for the number of passengers there are a huge number of quiet spaces that you could go to if you want to be on your own bit equally there was always somewhere buzzing if you were chasing that.

We loved the gala nights - one was red and gold theme and the other was masquerade. It was lovely seeing everyone’s outfits and watching so many great ballroom dancers. However, it was not stuffy at all. We can’t really dance but we were made to feel welcome and it was fine for us to just do our low level shuffling or more modern dance style - anything goes really.

Another highlight was the afternoon tea everyday. Just lovely! Each day was a different musician - string quartet / pianist / cellist etc. the white glove service of fresh sandwiches, beautiful pastries, and scones was just so lovely. All day room service is also included I. The regular price and we really enjoyed this on a couple of occasions.

Apart from this, the whole reality that you are crossing the Atlantic and thoughts of where we were in relation to the Titanic made this a really poignant cruise experience.

Finally, the final approach into New York was just incredible. Under the bridge with the funnels just clearing, followed by cruising past the Statue of Liberty, and finally seeing that Manhattan skyline is an unbeatable way to arrive in New York. We absolutely loved it!!!!
A great cruise through the Mediterranean   , VIC, Australia, Jun 2024
Embarking in Genoa was a hassle free process! We were processed and in our room on the ship in under an hour. So different from embarking on a cruise in Venice! This cruise was fantastic. The places we stopped at were all new to us and it added to the experience. We booked a combination of excursions some with MSC and some privately. The choice of food ...read more on board was very good, including a standalone Gluten Free menu. The staff were always friendly and accommodating. The only negative was a cancellation of our shore excursion in Sardinia that I had booked well in advance as I knew it would book out. Apparently due to weather!! It ended up being a 30deg day and our Plan B day turned out to be great but I was disappointed the excursion was cancelled the night before with little time to reschedule. Can't control the weather! That is the worst thing that happened on a very relaxing cruise. The whole process of booking and following up with Georgie from Global Journeys was so easy! This is cruise number 2. Thank you.

Common Questions Common questions about cruising

What are the most common types of cabin on a cruise ship?
There are four main types of cabin to be found on a cruise ship being an interior or inside cabin, an ocean view or outside cabin, a balcony room and a suite. The layout, position and size of these types will vary from one cruise ship to another so in order to get the most out of your cruise, it is important to...read more do your research about cabin types, prices and location on the ship before you book. We've outlined some things to consider when choosing a cabin on your cruise.
What is an inside cabin on a cruise ship?
An inside cabin is a windowless room located in the middle of the ship meaning no view to the outside or natural light. This isn't as unappealing as it may sound, there are definite upsides to being inside - the significantly cheaper price point being the main one. Booking an inside cabin leaves more of your holiday...read more budget in your pocket while still giving you access to all the ship's facilities. As you endeavour to take advantage of the extensive entertainment and activities on board you may spend very little time in your cabin and find you just need somewhere quiet and comfortable to sleep at night while your days and evenings are spent making the most of the cruising lifestyle.
Are balcony cabins worth it?
Well that depends. If budget is tight and you spend very little time in your room, you may be better off with a cheaper ocean view or inside cabin. Ocean view cabins can sometimes be more spacious as they don't have a balcony utilising the floor space. However if you have the budget, there are distinct advantages...read more to balcony cabins such as having immediate access to the fresh sea air. It is a truly special thing to be able to enjoy your morning coffee or evening glass of wine while watching the sunrise or sunset over the ocean. Depending on your location, being able to enjoy the scenery from the privacy of your own room is a major drawcard especially as the outer decks can become quite crowded when view points of particular interest.
Is forward or aft better on a cruise ship?
Forward cabins are at the front of the ship and appeal to many as they often have great views, especially when arriving at and leaving ports. Forward cabins can be more spacious and configured differently from a standard balcony cabins as they are arranged across the bow of the ship. Forward rooms can be subject...read more to more motion as the ship breaks the waves, so may not be the first choice for those prone to sea sickness. The aft is at the back of the ship and the uninterrupted views over the ship's wake are a big drawcard for these cabins as are more space and bigger balconies. This can mean a higher price point for aft cabins. There might be some vibration or noise from the engine or anchor at the aft of the ship.
