H. Tatineni
It was all fantastic the only part the only reason the Explorer of the Seas didn't get a 5 is due to their guest service staff. I found out of the four I dealt with inconsistencies and rudeness in two of them. We finally got a nice one on the last night who seemed to know how refund etc worked for on board paid credit as this is how it worked as I had gone to find out and give credit card details for the refund rather than take as cash. The booking process at the start was easy and the lady who helped me book very patient and helpful. The rest of the staff on the boat were fantastic and very friendly and helpful. This was our first ever cruise and we can't wait to go again.

S. Pavone
The staff and the comedy show were awesome. The only thing I could really fault was not being able to get into the free restaurants. I think everyone who books a cruise should get 1 booking per restaurant via a coupon. If you dont make the booking within 24 hours then others can then book for other nights. I never got to try any of them except the waterfront and the Pantry

The weather was exceptional, the destination ports were great and the service on the ship was good, the party Band were fantastic. The ship is old, the Night time feature shows were poor - overall we had great time - but you get better value for money on more upscale cruise lines

Being able to choose how busy or relaxed to be. There were enough activities happening that we had a hard time making all the things we wanted to do some days. Then again on other days we enjoyed having a balcony to relax on & to have quiet time to be by ourselves. The cabin steward was wonderful, Aileen on deck 10 was very thoughtful & efficient. The variety of food available was amazing, particularly worth a mention was how my wife's shell fish allergy was catered for, we were very reassured that on booking the restaurants we had to pre-order her meals so that there was complete assurance that her meals were safe. Thank you to P&O cruises for a wonderful 40th Wedding Anniversary cruise for myself and my wife, we loved it.

Our stop overs. I have so much to say but you haven’t given me enough room. Very disappointing trip.
T. Diamandopoulos
The amazing staff and their support to us as a big family of 8, catering to all of our needs. The ship itself is old, but the themed nights, kids club, food etc was all wonderful. We were dispoppointed that the 15 month old toddler could not swim, even in the splash pool. We had the proper swim nappies for him, but this wasn’t allowed. We understand re health and safety, but it was disappointing. Overall, we had a lovely family time.

D. Newcombe
The entertainment they had top quality musicians, all the bands, the pianist the party's on board. We partyed every night it was so much fun!!!!New Years Eve was so much fun on the pool deck, white night on the pool deck. Gatsby on deck 8 wasn't the best location and also Back to School in the Dome apparently was great but we didn't go because it was so crowed and took a long time to get drinks so again location not the best. The staff were great, look we rate P&O 3 star so we didn't go on with high expectations it's not Royal Carribbean or Celebrity we knew that going on this cruise. So the staff were fine not as much as attention as other ships but tha's what we expected so it was fine. We did have some great bar staff look after us on the pool deck and the staff in Dragon Lady restaurant and Angelo's were outstanding. Our room staff we didn't bump into maybe once or twice when I went looking for a pool towel. Our air con didn't work in our room but as my husband doesn't like a/c it was also ok. I loved the ship and it's decor some beautiful pictures, it is a real shame P&O have sold it because I would go on that ship again. As I know two people who have gone on Explorer at different times and said it was terrible, old and smelly so won't be going on that one. We truly had the best holiday it was so much fun, so much entertainment and activities and it was all good, don't know if it was because of New Years but it was the best entertainment I've had on a ship. I thought P&O know how to entertain but my sister travelled on Explorer during last year and said the entertainment was terrible. I guess we got lucky. The main band on New Years was fantastic, they played again on Back to School night. They also did a Motown Shown which was fabulous. Spencer in the piano bar was so so entertaining always got everyone singing along. The other bands were great too. We had a Neil Diamond impersonator that show was fantastic. On our last sea day all the bands played together a Beatles Tribute so good. The only thing we didn't like was after 10.30 the music continued in the Dome they had a Brazilian DJ who only catered to the young generation which there were a lot of. It would of been nice if they could of maybe had some 80's or proper decent music playing on the pool deck for us over 50's not just the boof boof music in the dome if you call it music.We are over going to the Pacific Islands we have been 3 times Noumea isn't nice, although we did go on a great snorkelling tour, Lifou is ok and Mare was nice so we probably won't be going there again. We are going to the Carribbean in May but we like to go on cruises in Australia so might look at the West Coast next time. Thanks for the extra's, the New Zealand ice cream voucher and a surprise voucher to Luke Magnion's restaurant which we gave to a friend who's birthday it was on the cruise and we didn't know. I will definitely book with you next time not sure when that will be as the Carribbean is already booked.

Our cabin boys were very efficient and did a fabulous job looking after us and were always pleasant when we met in the hallways. We also loved the cabin we were allotted. Thank you Loretta for all your help when we doing our booking and helping with the changes we requested. Will certainly recommend your firm Deck Chair Cruising to anyone who requires assistance with booking cruises.

Being able to relax on a calm ship. My experience ten days prior being very different experiencing seasickness the whole time re cyclone Owen, also on Dawn. The food in the pantry was ok. We enjoyed the Waterfront restaurant very much. The food was beautiful and found the staff quite friendly. The entertainment was really good on the ship. We dressed up for Gatsby night and had some photos taken.I purchased a photo package on the first cruise I mentioned ( Comedy cruise - 15th to the 18th of Dec, Pacific Dawn) but because I was ill I had no photos taken. I find the whole photo deal very expensive and only being able to purchase photos if all passengers we travelled with had also bought the package a real rip off. Not all of the photo staff were very helpful. One female member of the photo staff in particular needs a little improving in her selling point nature. She was a blank page, no smile, so enthusiasm, no interest in what she was selling. We did end up purchasing some prints but was disappointed that it was so hard and that there were 'catches'.

Efficiency when getting on and off the cruise and mostly at the ports and the value for money. Our cabin staff (Merrian and Erwin deck 9 plus Pablo and ? Deck 6) were always friendly and helpful.Least favourite parts were the drinks package being limited and the service staff on all areas of the ship other than Angelos, Dragon Lady and sometimes the waterfront. Staff would almost always make you feel like you are bothering them and not even acknowledge you a lot of the time. Once the did take your order they would rush you along and not even look at you when they gave you your card back!!! Most notable cases on a daily basis was Zing and Lunga from the New Zealand Ice Cream counter for coffee in the mornings...it set the tone for the day.

The Christmas decorations were great and the islands were lovely, only thing wrong was we had a drink package and the kids had a soft drink package but when we boarded they said the kids didn't have 1 as it only went to the 1st 2 booking, however they had a different booking number to ours and I booked back in March and was told they had their own.

Just loved the 4 night short cruise and wish it had gone on for a few more days. We have cruised with many other Cruise Shipping lines and this was our 3rd P & O. We love the friendliness of staff, the range of activities on board and the Night Shows and standard of entertainment on board. Excels other Shipping Cruise Lines by far. We have been on the Princess Lines, The Norwegian Cruise Lines & The Celebrity Cruise Lines but will say that P & O has an ambience of its own far exceeding the others.

Favourite part was definitely relaxing as I don’t get a lot of time to do it at home, bad part was we were forgotten on disembarkment weren’t told any of details as promised night before and had to chase around ship with kid in toe to find out where I had to be at what time so I would make my transfer to train station anyhow all staff were wonderful despite some language barriers

t the shower was the best he had experience while cruising as he was able to stand upright in it. The bathrooms in the stateroom were excellent. The room itself were very nice and there as sufficient storage. The specialty restaurants ere outstanding and well worth the extra money. I found the general pop music very loud in all the public areas. After a while we did find some quieter areas to sit in if we wanted to read. The ship overall was very clean and well maintained and was beautiful to look at. Depite the large number of passengers ( we are used to sailing on ships with 700-1200 guests max) it never felt crowded and they were very efficient at getting people off and on the ship. The staff are lovely and are one of the ship's best attributes.

Spending time with familyFeedback for Royal Caribbean: considering the Ovation of the Seas was only built 2 years ago, there is a distinct lack of facilities in the theaters for people in wheelchairs. A limited number of seats are available in the back row and that is it - everything has stairs with no ramps.
A. Ross
All parts were my favourite of my cruise holiday
M. Abdelmalak
It was very enjoyable and the dinning and cabin staff were just great. I found the guess service people were just so rude. Only to prove that they were wrong did we get assistance.
J. Sutton

K. Vasudevan
It was a very short cruise/break, but we really enjoyed ourselves on the ship. The ship is very well set up with lots of places to kick back and relax. The only issue we had was that we felt the food was not of great quality and was often cold. But for what we paid for the cruise, we still felt it was really good value.
S. Walker

Always love cruising with Princess and the help I get from Deck Chair Cruising for bookings is always first class. Malanie Rocks from Deck Chair Cruising is always so helpful and in fact I could not do cruising without her help
F. Crowder
Being able to totally relax!
V. Butler
The whole experience was amazing. We are all awaiting the cruise survey so we provide the feedback. Can’t wait to book our next one! Nothing was too hard and they went above and beyond in the chic dining room. My o my complaint would be that our hallway smelt like smoke the whole cruise - very thick smell and children walking past it all the time. Believe it was coming from the suites near the lifts.

Nice ship, excellent staff, good experience, would recommend
J. Windsor
All the crew were so very polite and helpful the food was great and the entertainment first class would sail with Princess cruises anytime. The little mishap was handled in a very professionaal manner and we were constantly updated it was a great Cruise very well done.
G. Smith
The comedy and cruising with friends
S. Smedley
Cabin, Food, Crew, Ports. were all great. Ship in pretty ordinary condition, leaks everywhere (there was a bit of a joke that went somthing like" what level did you need to be to get a yellow bucket outside your room"). fire in theatre control room meant no movies, wifi or tv for 1/2 of cruise. Only real complaint was Maori culture show in theatre was a no show!
W. Shadwick
Ports of call in New Zealand didn’t need to go to Melbourne, wasted days.
K. Dyer
Sea days are definitely my favourite. Going to book another cruise with Princess but don’t know if I want to go on the Majestic, but then again if it is a big voyage I might

A. Rawson
I loved everything about myCruise/holiday on the Ovation Of The Seas.So much to do on the ship. Food was amazing at the buffet Restaurants are very reasonably priced.We enjoyed WONDERLAND and JAMIE ITALIAN.Staff all though out the ship were so friendly. We had room 7228 (obstructed view)The tender boats weren’t really in our way as we were basically above it. Recommend this room.Cabin clean and tidy.Bathroom was good too.Only down fall, cabin didn’t have room for our big luggage bags. Shopping on the ship was high end shopping. Not many everyday shops but that’s ok as that’s why you stop at ports :)We ended up stopping the At following ports* Picton * Tauranga* Wellington * Auckland * Bay Of Islands Only negative thing I have to say is that everything you buy on the ship is in USA Dollars. So by the end of the cruise we paid our account which now we have to pay an extra $4500 As that’s the difference in Australian dollar. If I knew this I would not have done any shopping on the ship.Also we have to pay 18% on everything for these tips or whatever it’s called.Which I wasn’t impressed as I gave tips from $10 to $20 tip to a few waiters and at the spa. It all added up to be expensive.Drink packages are pretty expensive too. Might be the last time I buy one as we aren’t big soft drink or drinkers in general.Next cruise I’ll pay as I drink. Thanks Susan for always helping me book my cruises. Looking forward to my next cruise hopefully in the near future.Danica

Relaxing and the comedy shows.
S. Adair
I think my favourite part was the hypnotist show
A. Mchugh
I had such a fun and fantastic time with 2 girls from work who also mad the trip such a wonderful experience thank you guys for making this trip happen. P&O made everything run so smooth for getting us to the cup and back .well done to you both. This has been my 4 trip with then and l always enjoy my self.
D. Meijer
Melbourne Cup- the organisation was excellent- weather lived up to reputation- great discount on seats though ticketet with P& O which we took advantage of made the trip great. Alas up-selling on board was rife and entertainment a bit the same- and the cabin image was not quite reality. We all had a great time and arrived home safely.
A. Graham
Bloody good but thats what i get with LADY SHARON, food in dinning was good but food in buffet was poor very little variety The trip was incredable we have never had the hospitalaty we received in melbourne from on the tram in the street in the shops we went down as visitors we came back as friends
J. Carter
The best part of the cruise was the visit to Kirawina Island. We missed out on Rabaul and Kitiva.This was all due to weather conditions and medical evacuations. Our food was being served cold but once we advisedthe staff of this they made every attempt to serve it hot. I did not approve of the unsupervised underage children running throughout the shipespecially at night in the adult areas, casino etc. I saw children playing in the stairwells late at night unsupervised. Which I thought was quite dangerous. I have travelled with P&O previously and found it more than satisfactory. This just happened to be one of those cruises.
A. Rees
All of it, excellent boarding and disembarkation.Food was good,entertainment was not the best,seen it so many times before, but didnt matter.Met nice people, Crew were happy and helpful.Happy to go again!
M. Bakker
All the crew where awesome. Tours at the ports. Food was wonderful.
N. Exposito

D. Mcmillen
Very friendly atmosphere, the cruise where everything went wrong. Late departure, two missed ports, medical evacuations, unload at fisherman island. Like many disappointed not to get to Raubal. Booked the Melbourne cup from Brisbane next year, asked that you were given the notification.
L. Sorley
All of the staff on board were wonderful
L. Bottrell
Entertainment and my cabin!
C. Horton
The dining experience in the Waterfront encouraged social contact with a number of different passengers. Some previous cruises (not P&O) locked passengers into the same table with same passengers which we found restrictive. I found the food quality and selection range to be very good along with friendly and efficient waiting staff.
M. Heath
meeting the locals and swimming at Conflict Island
D. Barrington
The tropical islands were magnificent... Noumea not so much but overall great itinerary. Deck Chair cruising were fantastic. I'll definitely consider you guys for my next holiday. Cheers
K. Royle

H. Hunt

M. Riches
Best cruise I have ever had. P & O have nailed it. Not 1 negative to add. Zoltina J and her staff were amazing.
G. Reid
The ports were great. Being on the ship itself and the night entertainment shows were fantastic.
R. Webb
The ease of getting to the overseas passenger terminal and straight onto the ship. Self service disembarking was also quick and easy.

L. Mills
Entertainment was fantastic. Our Cabin was great and the staff were excellent. However we were disappointed about not being able to get onto Norfolk Island. We totally understand that it was too rough to put the tender in the water, but have since learnt that only 1 in 10 cruise ships are able to get their passengers off, so until a wharf is built we think it shouldn't be advertised. Very happy with the service we received from Deck Chair Cruising.
J. Semple
No complaints other than the internal rooms on pacific explorer are extremely small. You actually cant walk around the bed.

Dolphins and whales were seen while we were on the Aria. Relaxing by the pool drinking cocktails during the day, watching shows and music in the evening. So much to eat at the lovely restaurants. The staff are wonderful and really look after you.
G. Odger
The staff also food was to die for and the entertainment was excellent could not fault anything on the ship
R. Felmingham
Relaxing by the pool. Drinking cocktails.
J. Thomas
The rooms were great but had no fridge which made life a bit difficult for those (including me) who had medication that had to be refrigerated. Particularly as the ACT/NSW Diabetes group were on board and holding meetings. I was given a bucket of ice each day but it melted and got into one of my tablet bottles so I was without medication for the last couple of days. Apart from that, the people were lovely, the food was good enough considering I didn't have to cook it and the rooms were neat and tidy. We had fun.
R. Harding
People like us who occupied a cabin like 201, had no choice but to sleep with the aircon on all night. Our meals with aircon. Entertainment with aircon and so on. Well, I know you have no choice in this matter. It is up to me. So in future, if I ever travel with you again I would choose a mid-ship balcony cabin; half the problem solved

Loved the shows - comedian was hilarious, the funniest we have ever seen. Excellent cruise director, very personable and interacted well with the guests. Enjoyed all the activities. The beds were the most comfortable beds at sea (after 7 cruises). Cabin steward was helpful and friendly.

A. Davis
Relaxing by the pool bar and the amazing food at chops grille on radiance of the seas
S. Burkins
Every part of it was incredible, the food, the service, the look of the ship and how friendly the staff are, however, the only complaint I really have and I have said this of every Royal Caribbean ship I have been on, is just how uncomfortable the beds are. They are so very hard which makes it incredibly difficult to get comfortable. Even my husband commented on just how hard the bed was and he likes a very firm mattress. If they fixed the mattress issue, then they would be 100% on top of the list for the best cruise line ever! I have sailed on P&O and hated the entire experience, EXCEPT for their beds! They have the most comfy beds of any ship I have been on so if they can do it, why can't RC?
C. Burke
The only part I was disappointed with was the lady said we had an obstructed view (thinking I should see somethings) but really we had a blocked view due to the lifeboats, I think it was an unfair price compared to my friends who travelled for the same price with a nice view.
J. Whetton

Just being with 10 of my best friends all in the one spot and having great bars and music to dance too. Big Boy & Bear were brilliant, we followed them all over the boat at all of their venues! Plus Bingo with Miguel was fantastic.... Trivia with Libby was also a highlight. Disappointed that the pantry wasn't available for any 'snacks' of nibblies available around 2.30pm to 3pm for drinks on the deck.... the Restaurant staff Eva and Monique (Our waitresses in the Waterfront) were fabulous and looked after us like royalty. It was a trip of a lifetime and I can't wait to start planning my next one!

N. Glenn
All good. Window cabins are certainly the best value. I like the pantry styled foodcourt. Much healthier and good food choices - much better than a bistro.
L. Schwab
From booking with Sharon to visiting the wonderful people of Vanuatu & cruising on my favourite ship(Pacific Eden).Absolutly perfect holiday,nothing was to much trouble for Sharon.I was very impressed with your approach to customer service,very satisfied.I will be using Deckchair Cruising again,& highly recommending you guys to anyone who asks.Thanks once again.Brad Boys.

The total experience and self indulgences along the way. The journey is nearly as good as the exciting destinations we visited. The Taj Mahal, Greenland, Iceland, Komodo Island, the everglades in Miami and the four Canadian ports were highlights. Deck 12 was the best accommodation deck that we have experienced .
W. Mark
Apart from roughly handling and losing my luggage and packing me in an overcrowded tender with a bunch of fatties in rough seas with walkers and strollers blocking passageways the rest of the cruise was ok. Cairns needs a Cruise Ship Terminal Urgently. Cheers Jim Rose
J. Rose
The entertainment was Awesome. The staff very professional and everyone worked very hard.I was a little disappointed though that at the port at Cairns..we couldn't get onto land until 12.30pm.Day of disembarking was chaotic..waited well over 2 hours for our colour to be called only to learn later it had been but we didn't hear it and were on Deck 7 with most other passengers..All in all though a great experience
J. Gerard

B. Blunden
Couldn't fault anything, had an awesome time!! wold definitely do it again.
J. Kleidon
Did Not enjoy the food it was not nice
J. Gallagher
Everything! It was brilliant from beginning to end. Ship was beautiful, food fantastic and level of service was suburb. Everything was very well organised. Would definitely recommend trying some of the speciality restaurants - amazing. Drinks are expensive though, so if you like any more than a few drinks a day, the drinks package is a must. We had one and it saved us a fortune!Am already looking into doing another one next year!

JUST RELAXING KNOWING DECK CHAIR CRUISING DID IT ALL FOR US. LOVED THE DAYS AT SEA ALSO. FOOD WAS BETTER THAN OUR LAST CRUISE ON THE DAWN. WOULD DEFINITELY DO THE JEWEL AGAIN
F. Crowder
Steve was hilarious and the guy who co-ordinated the embankment on the last day was really nice too, but I forget his name.When I went to the spa I had Bee Em and she was lovely and I felt so comfortable. Please pass along a huge thank you :) Lukes restaurant was amazing The room was good with a nice upgrade :)I would have liked a better tv channel selection and the activities to be a little cheaper and more shops lol
L. Kennaway
Dining was superb. Service was great. The room terrific. The rest was really for young families. Fell short on the shows.
A. Hall
Booking experience was good, whenever I had a query and rang, there was always some-one helpful at the end of the line. Girls at reception on the Jewel were always quite busy, always looked stressed. A couple of the bar-men at Connextions Bar were not very friendly. Food was o.k, certainly nothing to rave about. Room stewards were excellent, or ours was any-way, his name was Didi. Noumea very expensive, tours quite expensive, really for what they were, this also includes Vanuartu. Although Mare was quite resonable although I suppose all there is to do there is go to the main beach. Shows were pretty good. Also for a cruise that had mostly Aussies & some from N.Z, some of the staff were hard to understand. Do not know where you guys are based, but a few more Aussies among your staff would not go astray. Thanks, Carol.

Having a choice of 3 restaurants to eat at included in the price was lovely
