Enjoyable weekend   , Auckland, New Zealand, Sep 2024
Had a wonderful time on P&O Explorer, 80's theme really was a jump back in time. Thank you Global Journeys for making this possible and stress free, loved every minute of our cruise and would happily book again through Global Journeys.
80's Themed PO Explorer Cruise   , New Zealand, Sep 2024
Neither of us are likely to book a themed short weekend cruise again. This is due to these being essentially party cruises and while have nothing against these we were after something more relaxing and chill. The food at the The Pantry was, we to be honest, awful - the hot stuff almost cold and everything kind of tasted the same. The Dragon Lady was ...read more average, with the mains tasting way too similar but the starters and dessert was lovely. Loved the food at Waterfront both Breakfast and dinner - The Chefs table was great although the desserts let the finale down a little.

We did the wine tasting and High Tea - the High Tea's sandwiches were dry - Sandwich 101 is put a damp towel over them to stop them drying out before serving. We had massages which were lovely! Heidi had a facial but wasn't impressed by being called up to the spa without warning for a Dr's consultation I knew nothing about to try to sell me very expensive facial treatments without any kind of warning - wasted my time and the Dr's. The facial the next day was awesome! Suggestions - we would have preferred being able to find at least ONE quiet sunny place to just chill out outside of our cabin - even on a party cruise.

Paihia in the Bay of Islands     , New Zealand, Aug 2024
The cruise was smooth sailing and the captain made a wise decision to not go to the intended destination ’ Picton’ in the South Island due to unfavourable weather conditions down south. We went to Paihia in the Bay of Islands instead. It was a bit of a ‘non event’ and we chose not to go ashore as we can go there anytime. I felt sorry for a couple who ...read more had driven down from their home in Paihia to Auckland to board the ship and then be taken back to Paihia. Needless to say, they too opted not to go ashore. I guess the P&O cruise experience (our first P&O trip) lived up to its reputation. Having been with different cruise lines on other cruises, it was interesting to compare the difference in the service, socioeconomic factors, food & facilities. Overall, it was okay but uninspiring and we won’t be embarking on another P&O Cruise. However, the online support and the booking service was excellent. It was wonderful being able to talk to and correspond with a real person rather than an automated computer BOT.
