What our clients are saying about their family cruises
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.
Antarctica trip of a lifetime! South America & Antarctica Holiday , QLD, Australia, Jan 2026
Thank you Global Journeys and Hannah for organising our amazing adventure to South America and Antarctica. This was a dream holiday for us and a trip of a lifetime. We loved cruising with Holland America Line and their lovely crew couldn't do enough for us. This was all about the itinerary though and it ticked off many bucket list destinations, especially read more Antarctica. Being able to walk among thousands of King penguins at the Faulkland Islands was incredible, it was like being in a documentary. Pristine, beautiful weather conditions in Antarctica was the icing on the cake and we saw amazing landscapes and abundant wildlife. Thank you Hannah for organising this trip of a lifetime for us. She always answered any concerns we had in a timely fashion and took care of everything for us. Thank you.

Thanks to Hannah Perry we had a lovely four day cruise on Royal Caribbean Ovation of the Seas from Singapore to Penang and Phuket. We both really enjoyed the cruise and would certainly cruise with Royal Caribbean again.
6 nights, just not long enough Barrier Reef Discovery Cruise , New Zealand, Nov 2025
First time cruising with Carnival and it was really enjoyable. Probably the only drawback for us is that you need to pay for loads of extras - $6 bottles of water in the cabin, people walking around with shots, and many different various upsell of food and entertainment, however apart form that things were really good. The bed and pillows were good, read more the options for different drinks and food were fantastic, and staff were friendly. Check out The Bonding Store - the best bar for amazing cocktails!
