Anthem of the Seas in the South Pacific South Pacific Cruise Lawrence and Yveline, VIC, Australia, Nov 2025
Our cruise on the Anthem of the Seas was awesome: service, dining, cabin , bars, friendly staff it was 5 stars all the way. Will probably do another cruise with Royal Caribbean again. We loved it! Rachael was friendly , very professional and helpful, would not hesitate to deal with Rachael again for our next adventure. The ship was magnificent.
South Pacific Discovery South Pacific Discovery Gordon and Ann, WA, Australia, Nov 2025
Hannah Campbell handled our enquiries very well as always. We are delighted that we are able to communicate with her whenever we need answers. We joined this trip with friends who were marking a significant date in their lives. Sadly one of them got very ill throughout and fortunately made it back to a hospital in his home town. As usual the ship was read more magnificent but the visits to Solomon Islands and Vanuatu islands were very much the same and the journey back from Fiji to Perth via plane changes in Sydney made it an exhausting end covering from 5am Friday Perth time to 02.am Perth time on Saturday. We would not contemplate a cruise of that nature again. However we will be looking forward to the other trips which we have arranged for the next year or so. The overall rating below relates only to the time at sea, the quality of the visits and the travel time to get home.
Fabulous Cruise Fiji & New Zealand Sheena and Alexander, VIC, Australia, May 2025
We travelled on the Crown Princess to the Pacific Islands and New Zealand in May 2025. We booked it through Global Journeys as we have done on a few occasions. Georgie was our agent again and as usual she was so helpful and efficient. The vibe on the ship was great. All the passengers were really friendly and the crew were fantastic, in fact I would read more have to say it would have to be the best crew we have encountered in a long time. They were really friendly, helpful and a lot of them had a great sense of humour. We have travelled on quite a few Princess ships and they have always been great. Would highly recommend Princess Cruises and Global Journeys.
Sydney - Fiji- Sydney Fiji Marie and Geoffrey , VIC, Australia, Mar 2025
