What our clients are saying about their family cruises
First cruise Moreton Island , WA, Australia, Jun 2026
We went on a cruise with Carnival. Getting on the ship was fast and easy. It was overwhelming inside initially, but once we knew the layout and which areas to avoid, it was fine. There were lots of options for different foods and where to eat. The rooms had lots of room for our bags.
Alaskan Inside Passage Alaskan Inside Passage , NSW, Australia, Jun 2026
Contrasting thoughts on the cruise. Due to propulsion problems, which restricted the speed of the boat we were only able to visit one of the three Alaskan ports we were scheduled to. This resulted in having more sea days than expected. Considering the time taken and cost involved to travel to Vancouver this was a disappointing outcome. However considering read more this, full marks must go to all the staff which include the entertainers, cruise directors and staff working in the bars, coffee shop, photo shop and restaurants who were all fantastic in trying to make the cruise experience still a memorable one
Confidence in booking Glacier Discovery Southbound , FL, United States, May 2026
We were recommended to Global Journeys through a friend. They made it easy to feel confident that the details would be handled with the cruise line. The trip came off without a hitch. I would definitely use them again.
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.
