What our clients are saying about their family cruises
Carnival 3 night cruise Getaway , NSW, Australia, May 2026
Lots of people celebrating and parties. More young children than expected. All facilities on the cruise as expected. I feel the choice of food at dining rooms was less then previous cruises. Overall just relaxed and did very little. Shows were good.
Fabulous time in the Greek Isles Iconic Greek Islands , QLD, Australia, May 2026
We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise on Celestyal Discovery sailing the Greek islands of Mykonos, Patmos, Santorini, Rhodes, Crete, Kusadasi. The ship was fabulous, food plentiful and delicious, so much variety! The staff were exceptionally friendly. We loved it. The ports were great and for the most part enough time to do what you needed to do. We read more didn't book any onshore tours, just did our own thing and loved it. If I could pick a downside, it would be the time it took to get off at some of the ports, mostly though this was the passengers and not the crew who delayed the process somewhat. The shows in the evening were exceptional. Hannah at Global Journeys handled our booking and was fabulous to deal with. Very quick to answer any queries and the process super smooth. Thank you for a fabulous time:)
Zaandam Cruise Pacific Coastal Cruise , AB, Canada, May 2026
I was disappointed in the food, it was OK, but I expected it to be better. Fish was always overcooked unless i specifically asked them to undercook it. entertainment was more like lounge acts, not like my experience on RCL. However Service was great all around. Kaitlyn at Global journeys was very helpful, quick to answer any questions I had.
Relaxing way to visit the South Pacific South Pacific Cruise From Sydney To Lautoka , TAS, Australia, Apr 2026
Enjoyable cruise to Fiji. NCL Spirit very comfortable and every thing taken care of. We enjoyed having the more senior environment. Good poet visits and tendering process. Tracey was very helpful with our requests.
Carnival Encounter 3 - 11 April 2026 Pacific Island Hopper Cruise , QLD, Australia, Apr 2026
Thank you for the help in arranging the cruise and answering all my questions. The only feedback I have is that it would have been good to have more information about the cruise app, what to expect on the cruise/itinerary and what to arrange to get the best out of the Carnival App/Experience. eg. The dinner reservations, booking, water, shuttles for read more port stops, things to do on the ship/events and any other tips about port stops. Thank you so much and looking forward to planning more trips with Grace and Global Journeys.
Amazing stops in Greece/ Turkey/ Italy Mediterranean , New Zealand, Mar 2026
Booked a cruise on MSC leaving Athens port for 7 nights. Booked this through the amazing Hannah Perry of Global Journeys. Hannah booked our previous cruise and since she was great to deal with we used her services again. As always, Hannah was attentive to all our queries always quick to respond. Thank you again Hannah, and will definitely see you again read more for the next one. We travelled from NZ to Greece for the cruise. Greece itself was mind blowing. Food, culture, beautiful and warm locals who were so proud of their heritage, country, and happy to share it with us. The MSC ship was smaller than the last I was on (Royal Carribean). Some of the staff were not as welcoming or easy to deal with, maybe it was the cold-ish weather during this time of year. The buffet was not as good as previous ship, and average at best. However, the booked restaurants were a lot better.

Thankfully Hannah booked our group a table for the whole stay for dinner. The stops and excursions on the other hand exceeded our expectations. Corfu/ Izmir/ Istanbul/ Bari - wow. Great food/ history/ and views to be in awe of. Though it was cold in late March/ early April - much preferred as not overflowing with people, and got to see everything we wanted. Our holiday was spectacular. MSC Ship was pretty average, but I am bias having only been on one other ship (Royal Caribean) which was stunning. However - our holiday alone was stunninggg... great memories.
