relaxing with no worries in the world about where next meal was going to be!Food was pretty ordinary in dragon lady, waterfront was better than previous lukes at night was very disapointing, and very very quiet!casino has all new machines, and they paid more than we have ever noticed
my plan was to rest and reconnect and that’s what i did
The food was very good

Getting off at Moreton island
The balcony, having room service
Staff were extremely friendly.
Karaoke,a couple of shows and the fantastic staff,but overall it was a really underwhelming experience,and we were glad to disembark
I love cruising but felt that the service on this ship was below standard. I understand that it has just changed hands but feel there is a lot to improve on.

Love the careing and friendly attitude of the staff that I had seen was very pleased with our steward and a big thank you to Mon looking after the showroom seating

Dining rooms and the delicious food and pizza.
Seeing the look on my 16 yr old granddaughters face with special needs when we enter the ship ..
Captain ensured we had perfect weather despite Cyclone Alfred bearing down on the coast.
We had a great cruise the room was extremly small and on booking form it said a double bed bed 2 fold down beds , not 2 bunks . Then we all got Covid anyway.

Relaxation. Not worried about anything
Dealing with Susan from Deck chair has been amazing, and she always goes beyond and always reassured me about some of the issues I had. I would not hesitate to book thru Susan again. Royal carribean was fantastic and looked after us during the cyclone Alfred and always ensured our safety was first, and also extending the cruise by 3 more nights to make sure the port was safe to return. Food was ok, it was quite average. The customer service was the best I have ever come across, and the crew was so welcoming, friendly, and always accomodating.
Onboard entertainment & Trivia and the Lifou Melanesian Experience.
The food was great especially in the Main Dining Room. Waiters were very attentive to guests needs.
Crew wonderful but lack of information given to first time cruisers as to whats available most info came from other cruisers..ship lovely but no swimming size pool in adult area
The food, the drink, the room service, the getaway holiday!
Very easy embarkation and disembarking. Service and staff.
Entertainment was amazing, food was fantastic staff were wonderful....Joseph and Chaitanya our waiters went over and above to do their very best for us.
The food in the pantry was disappointing but the restaurant food was great.
The whole cruise was amazing

Relaxing
the food was great
Just relaxing with the family. The Food was a little below Princess quality.
The first week was wonderful, during the second week my wife got the flu from an inconsiderate American who was blowing and sneezing in the theatre , he should NOT have been allowed in.
Relaxing
On board shows, restaurants. Locations visited at the destination ports.
Everyone was so friendly and helpful. It was fun. Great amount of things to do. Casino was exciting as I got some perks!!
The large adult pool area
The array of activities available for all
The Dining.. especially in The Waterfront & Angelo's.
Its always lovely to have a break away! We have previously cruised with RC twice - Legend of the Seas and Voyager of the Seas. Quantum is a nice ship but larger passenger numbers than we prefer. We normally limit ourselves to no more than 3500. We were disappointed that our "guaranteed balcony" cabin ended up having an obstructed view - lifeboats! As it was only for 3 days it was bearable but obviously if this had been a longer cruise we would not have been happy with the restricted view. Cabin itself was very good although the bathroom had a very distinctive urine smell on day 1. We wiped surfaces over with a disinfectant wet wipe to remove the odour. Food and drinks were great. Had an enjoyable Jamie Oliver's dinner on night 2 and a Sushi and Sake experience lunch at Izumi's on day 3. Embarkation and disembarkation was smoothless even with a system shutdown. The staff at the cruise terminal coped quite well with individual ipads to get us on board as quickly as possible. We are repeat Deck Chair Cruising customers and have another 3-day adventure booked with you for January 2026 - hopefully not a restricted guaranteed balcony cabin again. We love the fact that we can book and pay fortnightly for our holidays! Thank you
Atmosphere Great vibe
The relaxation and the crew members made it amazing. Where can we say who we loved on our cruise

Relaxing - not working
Conflict island
We were blown away by the entertainment. The singers and dancers were very talented and the production quality was amazing. Great variety of shoes onboard from solo performers, to huge cast productions, as well as a comedian and stunt artist.There was also a good variety of restaurants to dine at and the service was impeccable.
Itinerary and the crew - they were fantastic.
So glad we were given another port to go to. I was disappointed when it was said it would be another day at sea.Events staff and room staff were wonderful. Friendly funny and helpful. Bar staff not helpful. We ordered drinks and water. I was told the water station is over at the bar. How rude when she was going there to get a drink anyway.
The ship was fabulous the food overall was great all members of Quantum staff that I had anything to do with were friendly helpful and polite and Deck Chair took the worry work out of the booking side of the holiday win win

Great service onboard, everyone was very attentive and helpful. They made you feel welcomed and it was great seeing everyone join in on fun dances, singing or whatever entertainment was on.Food was excellent, I didn't have anything I didn't like. So many options.I did not like how our folio was not sent at the end of the cruise. I even emailed to request it but nothing.
Relaxing not seeing the children as they were old enough to go and enjoy everything quantum has to offer. Fabulous staff cruise length is never long enough.
Nothing exceptional that I’d call a favourite part.This was about our 12th cruise and the standard of cruising has dropped considerably since 2020.The food choices are pathetic in the Pantry. Restaurant dining was reasonable but being unable to use the dining room for Breakfast or lunch is a major disappointment and an extreme drop in customer service. The timing of shows was later than expected and popular shows were in venues not capable of hosting the numbers of guests trying to attend.

We had a very relaxing holiday and the food and service was great!!!!!
The food was amazing and the staff were so friendly. It was so nice just having a complete break, not having to prepare meals or do housework. There were so many activities on board, it was hard to choose what to do!

We absolutely loved our holiday, everything was right at our fingertips. We enjoyed the food and loved our dining experiences in the crowngrill and Alfredo's. They had a great program of entertainment and and we loved the trivia in the Princess live venue.All the staff were wonderful and friendly, and always greeted us with their smiles.We would definitely cruise again with princess cruises on the royal princess.
No cooking or cleaning
The staff, what a great team
Being onboard and doing as little or as much as we wanted. I is always nice to relax on a cruise ship.
I loved the diamond The food cabins and staff were excellent. Probably would have lioved another portt to go to Entertainment was excellent. The best I’ve seen Embarking was slow but leaving was easy

Being able to relax inside seating but food could be better and also the pantry should have biscuits out between meals as many including myself want something with a cup of tea and coffee
Being in one place with friends, the bar courses were good value
ALL OF IT 🥰🙌🙌🥰🥰🙌🥰🙌
Thank you Susan for booking this beautiful ship. We loved this cruise and was great to visit New Zealand again after 14 years. Bit slower pace this time. Hobbiton was the highlight of shore excursions. On board everything was so good. Food was tops, service great and entertainment was fabulous. Leaving from and returning to Hobart our home port was so convenient. Cheers Jill and Ken Dobie
Great food in the restaurant. Excellent evening entertainment
We had an amazing time, staff were amazing food selection was good. Some more information about what was complimentary on the ship would have been nice. Eg what activities were free on port days, other dining restaurants that were also included that we were u aware of. More clarity around not having to pay inclusive gratuity. It was only that we were traveling with others that told us we can ask them not to add to our account we would pay our own. The shows were but nothing amazing. We really enjoyed the ship it was a great experience and would definitely cruise Royal Caribbean again. And again super happy with Susan from Deck Chair she always makes booking easy.
We went to NZ and we loved Fiordland, is just beautiful, unforgettable!

Food
No particular part.I enjoyed the activities and the food options.However it was disappointing that the restaurants were all booked upon advance so we couldn’t get in .
I'm sure 100% of people will say exactly the same as me : getting up in morning with a smell of food's at the horizon and at the dinning restaurant with all the fantastic shows and activities ready for me, surrounded by the great crews and staff. What's else could I ask for? We had an amazing experience with the Royal Princess. Cheers 🍷 🍻.

Totally unhappy of our experience in santos, port Villa, however, mystery island was fantastic
Relaxing on the Balcony, no cooking cleaning washing etc…

We love getting up early and watching the ship berth at a new location, take in the surrounding scenery as she sails into port
Booking through Deck Chair was easy. Thankyou. The P & O staff & food on the ship was great. However, we were very disappointed with our Kuranda Skyrail & Train excursion due to the 90 minute delay of the train up to Kuranda which meant we had barely any time up there & then had to turn around and head back on the Skyrail . I don't understand why there was no discount or credit offered to us from P&O since it was booked through them.
just perfect
Seeing the families have a mighty great time
Nightly Entertainment.I was disappointed in the food selection thought it lacking in comparison to Princess.Not enough variety.. No poached eggs, no cold deli meats or garden salads- tomato, cucumber, cheeses, beetroot etc at lunch lettuce and a pasta salad is not enough. There was a small omelette roll but was hard & leather like.Too much indian/Mexican type foods.
being with friends and family was the only good thing as the food was pretty average if not dismal and the entertainment was not fair behind
We had the best time as a family & just loved the cruise!
Just relaxing,and having lovely weather when we got off at tangarlooma

Booking was easy and we were kept informed plus we got a very good deal. Really enjoyed the cruise except the dining times. P&O’s website made it look like we could book dining times onboard but was very different, had to queue for 45 minutes then could not get any times under 7:30 pm - next time we will just select early dining. Staff were great and plenty to do - We had a Great time.

Great staff, good food, value for money. Overall great experience
Switching off from the world for a while and spending quality time with friends and family
Loved everything, crew friendly, food great, entertainment fabulous. Cabin clean & comfortable. Tours we did with P&O & private where good.
Too many to write about did enjoy zip lines in Lautoka
The staff were all so friendly and helpful and fun. Danello and badra and Ely in Gold restaurant were fantastic.Kadek our room steward 6361 was amazing.We enjoyed our time on board and not getting off at ports.Simon the entertainer director is the best man for that job. Great personality.Cassidy rae in piano bar was a favourite and mark the bartender in piano bar was fantastic. I hope these staff are rewarded for such a great job they do and truly made our experience so remeberable.Everything was so clean. Only thing I wasn't keen on was signing for drinks as I was trying to limit touching everyone's germs. Thankyou carnival. I hope my vip is upgraded and look forward to hopefully cruising again
Cruising with friends, and the food.Balcony extremely small, very old ship.
Favorite part of the cruise was the food and the experience or being on a ship.Least favorite as a first time cruiser was the lack of direction on where to find places on the ship and the need to prioritize booking for classes, shows and restaurants. We missed a lot.
The entertainment was great
Entertainment by stage shows and musicians
Kiriwina Is. A most pleasant experience.

Enjoying family activities provided. Easy access with walker.

The ports in Fiji
My disabled room was very good, especially the shower
My sister and I had an absolutely wonderful time. We participated in lots of the activities including magician, hypnotist, dancing classes, bingo, gym classes, blanc de blanc, charades, hot spas, trivia and theme nights. The meals were plentiful and varied to suit everyone. Beds were very comfortable. Loved how many deck chairs and cabanas there were for everyone. The staff and crew were amazing so that would be my highlight. Lolly band singer, Jasmine (20 yr old crew member) Iris did a great job on our cabin.
We had a wonderful cruise our completely dinner from Deck Chair was much appreciated. We enjoyed our excursions especially Australia Zoo we also loved Taronga Zoo . The food was amazing and our waiter service in Michelangelo dinning room were amazing
Food and crew all good
Ports of call were excellent Food in all restaurants we used was excellent For us, ship was too big, and the virtual queening system was a nightmare. Small ships for us from now on
The staff were so lovely and helpful
Toilet seat in our state route was a bit old and stained not good also we purchased the dozen or two dozen prawns there are a little bit small and a couple of them looked yuck we got them to replace them and they ended up giving us for dozen prawns for the intervenience we went to the pizza rear on board but they didn't have and chavis to put on our super supreme pizza
The crew on board Pacific Adventure. Most beauti
Not having to prepare meals or do housework!
Cruise Director his staff were excellent, housekeeping staff was great, restaurant staff some were excellent others were hard to get a smile from, food could have been better as compared to Norwegian Cruises & Royal Caribbean, the cruise was still ok.
Conflict Islands were absolutely amazing
Service and staff were excellent.
The Kimberleys
Phillip island was my favourite part. I spent most of the time in the cabin crying. My now ex partner was abusive and completely ruined my holiday. I spent most of the cruise by myself and hope to go again now I’m single again. I want to thank you because without the cruise I’d probably still be stuck in an abusive relationship.
Friendly stuff,Ports
I loved every part of it, but I especially enjoyed the evening listening to the singing with guy in the piano , wonderful cruise
The cruise was ok and enjoyed what I could as I caught Covid the third day and confined to the cabin. Quantum were excellant caring for me with whatever I needed. I missed Tahiti as in quarantine and the ship did t go to the last port due to the weather. The food in the Windjammer was excellent when we ate there but ate mostly in the dining room. The food there was quite bland and not very much variety..the ship itself was dated but still lovely.
Entertainment, relaxing, crew were amazing!
Relaxation
Celebrating with 19 family members for our 80th birthday

The entertainment and entertainment staff were fantastic and so funny .I enjoyed everything about this cruise ,this being my 5th ..I'll be booking again soon.The room was what I expected, small and pokies,will not book that again, hopefully I can Upgrade to a better room .Overall ,i had a great time
Spending time with family ,All of our shore tours were cancelled and also number of shows on the ship due to bad weather ,Never mind .We have just booked another for July 1st ,We will give it another go .
Relaxing for first half and the rest was quite rocky due to rough seas. No fault of P and O off course but couldn’t get off the ship to Moreton Island which was a shame.
Relaxation.
Never landed at any port due to weather. Still enjoyed it
Off the grid. Good food pleased to report that Princess has risen to their previous standard before COVID when I travelled on the second ship out of Australia on Coral Princess I was doubtful that it would never be the same. But they proved me wrong this time woohoo. The Spa, steam and sauna room was to die for and a very good package for the eight days. Really good as the days at sea were cold so to have a heated pool/spa was a bonus.
The cruising days out there and Noumea and Vanatu.
Relaxing
It was very easy to get on/off the boat, this time. The staff were amazing & the activities were all good, from the bis drivers, to the staff on land.

The app allowing us to order drinks and food that was brought to us where we were on the ship.
Relaxing
Best part of the holiday was being on board the Grand Princess. Our cabin was good, service from all staff was excellent as were the facilities. Only the hot and humid weather (100%) in FNQ was a downer, leaving us exhausted. Not the fault of the cruise, they made shore excursions as comfortable as possible.Have left a future cruise deposit and only hope that they continue to sail out of Melbourne.
First time cruising with princess and I must say I was impressed with medallion net and the ease of use of their app. I have previously cruised with 3 other companies and I must say overall I would rate this one at the top never have I seen some much variety and quality of food on previous cruises. We never once went to the main dining room as there was so much choice at the buffet and the quality was great.
Entertainment, food, staff
Overall princess, he’s a great cruise line. The negative thing with this cruise on the coral was the The entertainment and activities were all designed to anyone that was over the age of 75
Everything was a lovely experience especially the level of service
Sharing it with my daughter and the shows
How relaxing the whole experience was
The sea
The service on board was fabulous.
The adults only area
The service on board was fabulous.
The entertainment. Especially the shows.
Enjoyed several of the shows. Rat Pack Reloaded & Sonic Odyssey
It would have been very helpful to know that organizing dining arrangements was very easy once we were on board. All we had to do was visit the main dining rooms on deck 4 where the staff were very helpful. Also, I was concerned that with 4,000 passengers, it might be difficult to get into the shows. The main auditorium seated about 1200 and we were able to go to both the early and late sessions of 3 shows that we particularly enjoyed.
Total relaxation
We absolutely loved our holiday. New Zealand is beautiful and we hope to visit again soon.Majestic Princess was lovely, the food amazing and staff fantastic.A huge thank you to Melanie at Deck Chair Cruising for helping us organise the cruise and especially for the room choice! Thanks again
relaxing on board
relaxing and enjoying the break. The Pacific Explorer is a very dated ship, was shabby in appearance and needs a good refurb.
No cleaning,no cooking,no thinking, no phone calls
enjoyed the holidays all went good . we like everything I have to say thank you.....
Being able to relax when I wanted and be busy when I was ready!
The staff were very friendly and remembered our drink choices, the food was also okay. Ports of call, Noumea seemed average as a few guests said the same, though mystery island was spectacular. Beautiful Island, lots of swimming and snorkelling was fun.
The room was nice but disappointed they only service room once a day. Food not as good as Princess.

Relaxing
Meeting people and the Chefs Table. The Dining room food was nowhere near their usual standards, After 5 dayswe ate at the buffet which was pleasent. The Grand Princess is getting old and needs to be decommisioned.
Seeing the different places
The shows.
Not having to cook so the food is important. No complaints from us.
The best was being on the sea, the organisation, and the care by staff, as well as the entertainment, which was very good!The only disappointment was that someone put in charge of getting people off the ship in wheelchairs obviously did not know the procedure for getting the people with wheelchairs off the ship in a timely manner.people were waiting for 1 1/2 hours past their departure time given.Part of the problem was that 5 to 6 wheelchairs at a time were sitting at the change over point between staff from the ship and staff from the boarding part of the ship.When asked why were the chairs not returned more quickly to the ship as everything was going so slow and there was a backlog of people waiting to get off the ship In a wheelchair; the ground staff said that was the job of the ship staff to pick up the wheelchairs and take them back to the ship.I trust this feedback will mean an improvement for the people getting off the ship who need a wheelchair .Thank you,kindly,Mrs Janice de BRUYN from Cabin 7540. Quantum of the Seas. Departing Brisbane on 29/2\2024.
Visiting Mystery island and our steward was so lovely and done his job passionately

Spending time with my son doing fun things On my cruise there wasn't enough music for dancing for parents. Every parent l spoke to said the same thingWe don't want to (or can't) stay up until 11.00pm until the nightclub opens, this also isn't what we are afterHaving karaoke is fun, but it gets very tiresome night after night listening to drunk people try and sing when the dance floor is empty and people are just sitting around.The voice is just another Karaoke, so then you have two types of Karaoke going on in the main Adventure Hotel which is really the hub of ship.The best nights were the white party, Gatsby and last night when they got all the bands to jam together. On these nights parents could have a dance with their kids and/or partner and it was great fun.Unfortunately the constant karaoke situation turned me off what was a great cruise and doesn't cater for everyone.Because of this my next cruise won't be on an P & O ship.
Enjoying a restful trip & being looked after well---having cruised many time with almost all lines we thought the standard at P&O was poor---penny pinching charges for items--cold food especially in pantry--shows that had talent but so loud even 2 people who are both deaf had to walk out-----basically the standard matched the price i guess
To relax, have fun, & not have to cook or clean.
Relaxing, our balcony and visiting new places
Not needing to worry about anything!
Everything from the relaxed atmosphere, to the food and service from all staff. 10/10!In particular Alma, Ferdinand, Dillip, Krishna Francesco in dining (Symphany), and Renshi our room cleaner.
Every thing there, no messing around with flights all meals taken care of. Room service twice daily

I really enjoyed the cruise, the food in the pantry was disappointing as was the staff at the bar in the casino. Everything else was fantastic. The 2 girls at the ice cream/ coffee were exceptional as were are room stewards.Overall a wonderful holiday as usual.
We had a great time weather was great but we all have COVID now but doing well

We really love that rear-facing balcony cabin, we have booked it a few times. Ship is in good condition, food was pretty good & entertainment as expected. Destinations are starting to get a little tired in that area, but we are familiar with them so knew what to expect.

The various on board dining options. Sharing them with my granddaughter made me aware of different foods that I had not previously tasted. Looking through young eyes made the trip so much more enjoyable. She absolutely loved the karaoke!
Enjoying sharing our grandsons first cruise
I paid for a balcony suite, and had what I would consider a small suite. For the first four days I could not open the balcony door,and had to ask the steward to open it . I found the two chairs were in a terrible state, with one being tattered on one side and both having brown stains and paint spatters. I could not sit on them and they were replaced only on the fourth day. As I could not open the door myself, I could not use the balcony. I was most disappointed. When we came into Noumea, we found that the Duty Free shops were, and they do not open on Mondays_ P & O should have made some arrangements because of this, although I did find the rum prices on board most acceptable. I had wanted to buy brandy at Noumea as the ship did not stock it. The food on board was generally good although some items ran out in The Pantry before the mealtime finished.The. Cleanliness of the suite was quite good and the steward was quite friendly and personable.Overall we did enjoy our cruise.
The rest time as sea.

The fact that I didn't have to do anything
Everything about Princess Cruises is wonderful. Our daughter and grandaughter's first cruise and they can't stop talking about it. Food, Staff, Activities, Many great memories. Thank you so much.
the whole thing, between the ship and all the activities as well as the activities at port, i cant wait to go on another cruise
Melanie was very helpful from Deckchair cruising. Our cruise changed destination from New Zealand to Hobart due to Biosecurity issues so that brought this holiday down. The Hull clean should have taken place prior to this cruise. P & O staff onboard were lovely.
Being able to do as much or as little as we liked

The captain, keeping passengers informed and safe. I commend him and so glad we had his wisdom
Just relaxing
everything
The entertainment team were fantastic the only negative experience we encountered was the smokers. There was NO security monitoring the smoking area, my husband and I both asthmatic and couldn’t walk onto Deck 7 as any time of the day or night smokers would congregate outside the doorways and in the “No Smoking” areas. When we mentioned this on the odd occasion we were greeted with a blast of abuse.
Had a great time, the ship's staff were excellent, we had lots of fun with them. Overall a great experience, we will definately sail with Royal Caribbean again.
Our great grandchildren on the cruise. Other feedback please tell RC to update the guest booklet it states if traveling with person under 18 and not the same surname all that is required beside passports is the birth certificates of the children however we were denied boarding until we could produce a letter from the parents of the traveling stating that hey could undertake physical activities an excursions on the ship and the letter be signed by a notory or JP other people got caught out wee couldn't board until we had a signed scanned letter was distressful.
Tours
Cruising is the best holiday, relaxing, enjoying that all the work is done for me, Being entertained and relaxing by the pool, having choice of meals.Enjoy getting off at different ports. Meeting people.
the show blanc d blanc
We had the most amazing holiday. From booking to boarding, everything was made to be so easy for me. All the staff aboard P&O went above and beyond my expectations, they were professional, kind, and should be commended for the high standards that they consistently delivered. The food was amazing, the boat was very clean and well maintained and we enjoyed the entertainment provided, I was very lucky to secure such a great price for my families first P&O and without a doubt we will be back. I couldn’t wait to tell my family members just how great my experience was, so thank you to everyone who played a role in delivering my Twin boys best 10th birthday ever. Some name I manage to snap up but honestly there is so many that I didn’t get the chance to note, Aris, Bikash, Gayan, Gladys, and Raman. Thanks guys

The day at Dravuni Island
Getting of the boat. Staff were lovely. Food was a bit repetitive. Disapointed that we couldn't travel to the islands and only went to Cairns and Airlie beach. I also think we should have been credited more than $100.
The service Deck Chair supplied when we needed to change cruise dates and destination, meant that it was a nice relaxed cruise. Visiting somewhere we hadn't been before. Love RC cruises
Being able to totally relax, knowing everything is paid for.

The Penthouse suite and their perks, the staff across the board were brilliant, after 31 cruises probably the best.
Doing absolutely nothing. Eat, read,sleep…. Repeat👏💕
The days at sea!Was very happy with our booking through Deck Chair cruising. It felt very seamless- book, press enter, then everything just sort of arrived. Cabin number, tickets and all the needed paperwork, Very easy, very simple. Many thanks.
having some one prepare the meals and clean the room
The entertainment. Piano Man Paul was amazing. So much fun. Also the staff who looked after us. Hendro and his team on Deck 2 were so attentive and efficient. Ardika and his team in the Black Pearl Dining Room were fabulous. Quick, attentive and very polite and friendly. The girls who helped seat passengers, Louis and Sharmaine, were such fun, and so very helpful. Very ready with a smile and a kind word, yet efficient and polite.
My favourite part of the cruise was the Shows,we attended 2 of them and they were both fantastic.
Adventure bar, lots of fun and laughter

To get away and relax
The Conflict Islands; it's so beautiful there. Having a beautiful massage onboard and got acupuncture as well. Very awesome and excellent and gorgeous hot doctors. I had a wonderful time with my friend Kaye. Plus with my other friends who was on there as well
All of it. Loved every minute of it. I would like to have a singles themes, just for the singles only
Conflict island was my favourite part.
The entertainment and theatre performances were the best Waterfront restaurant when I ordered an omelette with herbs it was not great the chef needs to know about herbs not just parsley Mr Kent Smith
Airlie beach port was beautiful.The live entertainment on the boat was exceptional
The many options for entertainment
I got a cabin with a massive balcony. It was fabulous and I spent most of my time on it.
It’s time cruisers and we had a ball!!Ready to book again
I would like to complement 3 staff in particular in the panty that made a huge impact on our cruise, Sailesh Mukhia,Villie Cisco Villafuerte & Applose Shimrah, these guys should be recognised for their efforts. They made us feel very welcomed and very special, they are an asset to your company.
We loved absolutely everything about our cruise. It was our first ever cruise and we will definitely be going on more. The overall ‘P & O’ experience would have been 5 stars, but they didn’t turn up at the airport for our pre-booked transfer to the cruise terminal, and then were not at all helpful when we tried to resolve the issue. Deck Chair Cruising have been amazing to work with. Always helpful, always friendly and always 100% transparent in their service and their communication. This was topped off beautifully by the assistance they have provided post-cruise in arranging a refund from P & O for the airport transfer no-show. We will happily recommend Deck Chair Cruising and their staff to friends and family, and will definitely be booking our next cruise through them.
Visiting the Australian ports
Everything. It’s just a beautiful ship, staff amazing. Favourite part was the Hollywood pool areaso relaxing
The entertainment was good .the service with drinks was very poor waiting in lines.the food was also very poor in comparison to other p&o cruises we have been on in the past
The entertainment was excellent. Staff were exceptional.
The performances play music
Loved it all
This was our first cruise that we thoroughly enjoyed. We cruised with friends so the social aspect for us was great. I enjoyed being back at sea. there is something very tranquil about being underway and watching the ocean with no land in sight.
The Casino and Waterfront Restaurant
Hospitality was 100 percent No complaints 🥰
Service and Entertainment in all areas🥰
Very relaxing cruise, with courteous staff. Meals were varied and good. Ship was very wheelchair accessible.

The laid back atmosphere. I could fill my days with activities or sit back by the pool and read. The crew were fabulous, entertaining and helpful.
Just Relaxing
