Everything! Carnival Spirit was magnificent! Thoroughly enjoyed pretty much every moment. The food, the experience, the staff, the ports of call and the activities on offer. Can't wait to go again! I only hope that Carnival cruises to New Zealand.
H. Jack
By far, Alaska was a standout.Overall the ports we visited were all suburb. Meet great people on board.
D. Kopp
The kids had a great time on their first cruise. They loved all the different parts of it. The fun, the food and the family time. I found P&O had greatly improved their service from last time I sailed with them. So I was impressed.

Hi Relaxing and chilling out was the best part. we booked with Deck Chair last year for our perth to Singapore cruise and again this year because we found you were far cheaper than any one else and also cheaper than P&O themselves. We have recommended Deck Chair to so many people and we hope to continue booking through you even though we are Kiwis;. Looking at the Mediterranean next year so........

The itinerary. Mystery Island and Champagne Bay and of course Pentecost were amazing. Unfortunately I think this will be my last time sailing with P&O.
R. Voss
We chose this cruise for the ports of call,particularly Pentecost and Mystery Islands, both unique,and were not disapointed. We enjoyed first class stage productions but were disappointed in the "Pantry Restaurant/buffet" it reminded me of a Westfield Food Court-Queues for service and fast food on the go.Definitely a negative consideration for any other P&O cruises,
G. Ward
The dining room food was excellant. The cabin had great storage space and the shower was a good size. Unfirtunstely sometimes noise from chairs beimg moved on Deck 9 at night was annoying and the smell of food. There was lots to do and entertainment throughout the ship
M. Battams
The on board entertainment was good. The food catering in the buffet room was not as good as other cruise ships I have been on. But it was adequate for the price we paid. I really liked the easy booking process with Deck Chair Cruising- thanks.

very relaxing, beautiful weather. wonderful people (staff and passengers) the help we had from deck chair cruising was fantasticonly negative was the food (pantry) nowhere near as good as the buffet on previous cruises, and the entertainment was not anywhere near as good - except for Davidia, the magician and mindreader they were great -but three nights of the show group was three too many.The cabin stewards bought their towel zoo - wow- now that was great entertainment. (one was a huge Pacific Jewel made of towels - wow again)

Surprised by friends who secretly booked the same Cruise. Also the wonderful service extended to our friends who were first time cruisers with Carnival. Carnival spirit is like a second home to us, and the crew treat you like you are family, even better.
L. Carroll
Experiencing the ports on the repositioning cruise including the events on board eg Anzac Day dawn service and the equator crossing event. Loved everything and could not fault the cruise line service or the itinerary
H. Mcnamara
Relaxing. The cabins were well appointed and were quite spacious. The food was very ordinary and I most certainly wouldn't cruise P&O again, if I were heading off on holiday to enjoy dining experiences. It was great that they had craft beers on board and the drinks were reasonably priced. Staff were pleasant and helpful.

It was my first experience with deck chair cruising and I found them to be friendly, helpful and most importantly professional and efficient. I would give them a score of 10 out of 10. I have cruised at least 10 lengthly cruises in the past 10 years. I loved Pacific Jewel for their new no hands buffet style even though I dined mainly in their dining restaurants as I like to relax over a meal. The food I was very happy with. No body in Australia needs 24 hour food availability. Quality is more important than quantity. I was very surprised with P& O as I thought that they were far below par with other cruise lines. I did enjoy this short cruise and will consider another but perhaps a larger ship for the following reason. The only down side was that I was sea sick for a day. My longest cruise has been for 42 days and I was never sea sick on larger ships. The Pacific Jewel had a lot of motion even though the seas were very kind. So I wonder if their stabilizers are as modern as more recent ships.

Did not expect drinks to be as costly. Thought they would be at duty free prices, but having said that I still wouldn't have been able to justify a full priced drinks package. Liked the whole experience. You could relax and do as much or as little as you like. The crew do a great job
S. Smith

Our first cruise was so exciting. My favourite part was the day I got on the ship didnt want to get off. Our room attendants, bar staff and waiters in the MDR were exceptional could not fault them at all. From the moment we stepped on the ship it was awesome. It was well organised. Although I've only been on 1 ship its a pity that VOS is not returning to Australia. The cruise director and his staff really made everyone feel very welcomed, I will miss them and the ship.
A. Miller
The beaches on Isle of Pines and Mare and relaxing in the oasis
T. Ostler
The ship and staff were fabulous. We enjoyed lots of relaxing on days at sea and also the music and entertainment on board was great. The food was yummy. Not really any complaints except we sometimes found it difficult to find a table in the buffet eating area to seat all 7 of us - not sure what could be done for that though???

J. Reid
We were very happy with Deck Chair Cruising and were very pleasantly surprised and pleased with the unexpected additional credit vouchers towards special dining and wine. We used this towards celebrating our wedding anniversary. Thank you.We did not enjoy the Emerald Princess as a ship, most probably mainly due to its size. The food in the formal dinning rooms was consistently the best of all our previous cruises.
J. Martin
The staff especially Deck 3 Restaurant - Ketut, Gusti, Inchillie, Randy.....we so looked forward to seeing them every night and they looked after myself and kids as if we were family. I was very upset to say goodbye to them and will never forget them. Also MaryCruz in the GiftShop......she is such a giving, warm, friendly person and also like the others, an asset to Carnival Cruises.
A. Elena
To start with was the easy booking procedure that was all due to Melanie who I have delt with over a number of years and cruises Melanie goes out of her way for the best prices and offers and makes the whole experience effiortlessThe overall cruise on P&O Pacific Dawn was grest. Good service, food, entertainment and the with the refurbishment it was a wonderful experience with many more to come

Hi Sharon, we had the best cruise every. Every thing about the cruise was outstanding. The food was out of this world as I didn't have to think about cooking, just what to choose. We meet some beautiful people. The Service was great . Our cabin hand was very nice, nothing was to hard for him. Always willing to help. The ports were amazing. Just loved every thing about the Golden Prissiness. Thanks again for all your help. Belinda Harvey.

D. Newton
Our cabin was fantastic and located perfectly for us. Our experience was fantastic and we enjoyed every moment. Our only criticism with RCI in general is that they deal with US$. Which we weren't aware of. I know that they are a US based company but if they operate from Aust. We feel they should confirm to the majority of the clients like P&O, Carnival and the Princess Lines which we has cruised with. Also, ifeel they should have one US electricity adaptor in each cabin. We paid US$10 for an adaptor, again if operating from Australia around Australia and the Pacific they should supply them. Apart from that the staff, food, entertainment the ship was just fantastic. We received such a great deal from you we will be on the look out for further specials you offer. Thank you so much.

First time cruise experienced with 13 other family members (also first timers). Everyone had a great time with activities for all, no excuse to be bored. Food was excellent. We all had the drinks package and made good use of it. We would have liked to see a list of cocktails advertised in each of the bars, maybe just a select half dozen specials, would have helped greatly. When we asked the bar staff for a cocktail list, they just looked blankly and said there wasn't a list, not even coming up with any helpful suggestions. There were a handful of staff members who seemed friendly, happy and chatty but they were really the exception rather than the rule. Overall, our group had a ball! It just would have been nice to see ALL of the crew enjoying attending to the guests. Thank you :)

Villa is now so disappointing, trying to get into town, there are over 50-100 taxi/van drivers harassing for a fare, which would be very intimidating and scary to a novice traveller.Returning from town was worse as you could not get through the crowd until a lone police officer saw us to create a path for us to return to the ship

M. Van Buizen
Everything - from dealing with Sharon at Deck Chair -Our cabin, 1394 at rear of ship was supersized and awesome - the balcony was HUGE compared to the jnr suites along each side had 2 deck chairs plus table and 2 chairs and plenty more space -Staff were excellent in cabin and dining - Onshore excursions were way overpriced thru ship - we organised our own in a group of 14 - Really appreciated being able to upgrade original booking after a sale came on thru RCI Sharon was awesome at assisting this to happen - we got an upgrade in cabins for less than original booking price - Onboard experiences such as Flowrider and all nighttime shows were excellent

Mystery island. Make sure you tell your guests to do a double decker bust trip in Noumea, as i hear a lot of stories on line (not to bother getting off the ship), but the bus tour takes you to the most amazing views of bays and islands you will ever see). It can be booked as soon as you get off the ship in the Info centre. I ended up loving the place (city is a bit expensive though, and not that much to see.)Thanks you. Will be looking for more specials soon.Gav... P.s what is with Mare, an expensive bus ride just to go to a beach?

C. Messina
Boarding was very quick at Brisbane, boarded ship at 5.30 to be greeted by the princess crew, food was good, nice to see the crew serve it after their troubled virus, all went well and virus free. Making new friends, good food and Happy Hour. The comedian was very good but didnt make it to any other shows, sat and listened to the other entertainment and talked to our new friends made at dinner time. We have recommended you as a travel agent as they had a bad experience with theirs. Hopefully they will contact you if booking another cruise. I found the cabin staff and waiters at the dining room excellent, room was good but long way to the other end of the ship. Shopping was good but being only a week long cruise they didn't have a lot of sales. I found Sun Princess not as good as Sea Princess as there were too many younger party goers on board. prefer the aged cruises I think. Thanks for all your help with the booking of this cruise, will look forward to dealing with you again. cheers Toni W
T. Weir
Hi Mark, Appreciate all your help with our booking. Our cabin was great in a good position We enjoyed our cruise on the Golden Princess the ports were all enjoyable loved Champagne Bay. We were a bit disappointed with Princess Cruises feel they have done a bit of cost cutting. The internet service was terrible have been on other ships and it hasn't been as bad as on this cruise. Have given them feedback. Thanks again for our booking and the amount of credits you got us. Have already recommended you to our friends and will certainly give you a call when we are going to do another cruise. All the best, Glenis Hutton.

It was all absolutely amazing can't wait for some special deals to come out to book another one. Thank you

The cruise was great, the food was not as good as on past cruises but a very enjoyable time was had. I spoke to Julie to book our cruise and I can honestly say it was the best service I have ever been given. I will be recommending Deck Chair Cruising to everyone as I did on the cruise. I was supposed to contact Julie after I went onto cruise personaliser so she could send our baggage tags etc. and much to my surprise they arrived in the mail with lanyards before I even let her know. Talk about service, if there was more than 5 stars I would be giving them. Thank you so much for taking the stress out of booking, it was much appreciated, I could not be happier. Sharyn

Unfortunately we missed mystery island. My daughter and I enjoyed our day at champagne bay the most. I was a bit disappointed with the cabin size as on other cruises I have done especially the one through Europe it was considerably larger. We could,nt fit my daughters walker through the door. I thought you Julie were very nice to deal with and would book through you again.

The room was great and so was the food and service. We would have liked some written information about the ports of call .On Celebrity Cruises we were handed a list of points of interest for each port well ahead of arriving. The Legend of the Seas were only interested in selling their excursions .

This was our first cruise so we haven't any others to compare too.The crew made every effort to accommodate everything we needed.There were so many activities to keep us busy and the shore trips were great.We would like a stateroom in another area next time as we right under the pool area and the walking and banging etc lasted well into the night but apart from that it was the best holiday ever.Thanks MelanieRegardsKatie and John

I took my elderly Mum away and she has never cruised before. She had a wonderful time and everything exceeded her expectations. In particular, the attention she received whenever she embarked or disembarked could not be faulted. I thoroughly recommend a short cruise for anyone who has mobility issues.

Cruising with friends, the Chef's Table, the location visited - Wineglass Bay, Port Arthur & HobartOur state room that we were allocated on Deck 11 - B527 was very noisy (being beside a air-condition / service room - lots of noise & vibration) I spoke to the reception, they came and checked the room and acknowledged the noise & vibration. We were offered a quieter room for Night3-6 of our cruise which we took up. It was much quieter.ThanksJohn

Being able to relax and enjoy the activities on board and the staff were great with all their duties.

Cleanliness of the ship, staff excellent, always have to wash and sanitise hands before entering restaurants, shows on a bit too late for us other ships they were earlier, booking shore excursions should have booked online. Thks DC for your excellent service,

The cleanliness of the ship, the service in the dining room was incredible.. I loved the solarium on the ship so tranquil. Overall I thought everything was great.
T. Warren
We thought the Chinese Restaurant and the Waterfront restaurant were impressive.We are very flexible even last minute and particularly during winter we are available when great prices come up again for cruises. Three of us work on Day Event Cruising on Sydney Harbourand two of us are keen sailors. I am reading emails on specials and when I receive one we are keen to go again.Other friends also missed out this time for one reason or another. If an exceptional deal turns up I also welcome a call. Generally 2-4 nights but possibly to 7. Thanks Again for the smooth and friendly booking service that Deck Chair Cruising provided.
D. Toussaint
I loved the late night shows. You had fantastic artists, especially the Sun Princess band, the two singers and the dancers. They were first class. I loved all the shows, with Nathan Foley, who was such a wonderful entertainer. The only show I didn't enjoy, was the male so called comedian, who laughed at his own bad jokes and seemed to think it was funny making fun of people who have a weight problem.

It was my first ever holiday in my life and having my 2 daughters share the experience with me made it all the more special. The cruise overall was a joy that I will never forget as a first time holidayer I managed to find my self confused about a lot of stuff but I always managed to run in to one worker on the pacific eden that went above and beyond to steer us in the right direction his name is Kevin he worked at the sugar bar this man is a credit to your cruise line always in a happy disposition, our room was a porthole quod on deck 4 it was very comfortable and the pillows were to dye for so comfortable thanks to you guys for the free upgrade so we could all stay together in the same room but difinatly I will be cruising with P&O again hopefully sooner then planned. Thank you again for making my girls and myself first cruise one that we will never forget. Joanne Simms

The whole experience of GOLDEN Princess was amazing !It was the best entertainment and friendliest crew I have experienced after 12 Cruises most with Princess ! My booking experience was good but I have noticed a Lot of other companies provide travel wallets and was a little disappointed to only receive lanyards.Julie was very helpful and efficient and I found her very knowledgeable.Thankyou

R. Merto
Royal Caribbean is a great cruise line the only problem we had was with an activities member who was rude to passengers and when the captain and cruise directors announcements came on the speakers she would scream SHUTUP at the top of her lungs, which was very disrespectful to them and the passengers to the point that we walked out of the activities she came to host. The room, cabin stewards, staff, entertainment, food etc were all great so choosing a favourite is hard, we loved it all.
P. Gray
P&O are more suited to people our age, staff are so much more fun and entertainment is more age appropriate.
S. Prizeman
The stop overs on the Islands were excellent!, the entertainment, the service, the friendliness of the staff and crew all excellent and the whole experience was comfortable and enjoyable. Definitely would consider Carnival again. I was a bit disappointed that I had to pay for a chat line just so I could contact my family staying in other cabins, that should come free part of the app provided, particularly for friends and family in one group as it is not easy getting in contact with each other. There was 6 of us! I was very disappointed with the WiFi connection plans, far to expensive. I needed email so I could stay connected with my work and it cost me $30 for 24 hours, 12 of those useless as I was either trying to holiday or sleeping. This was very inconvenient. I didn't worry so much for having a social connection or even a phone line, but email was a must and I couldn't afford the packages offered.

There were so many things that I thoroughly enjoyed about the cruise dining,, amenities, housekeeping,the staff- all so friendly and obliging and many others.. However to pick one I would have to say the overall organisation from the time of arriving to embark to being escorted to a taxi on departure, this led to having no concerns and just being able to relax and enjoy.

F. Crowder
my booking experience was fantastic 10 out of 10. Very informative on all things required for the cruise.My overall rating of the cruise experience on the Emerald Princess also 10 out of 10.10 out of 10 on the Princess cruise. It was our first time and it was amazing. so amazing I want to book another for next year.My favourite part was the fabulous food selection throughout the whole cruise.
C. Rudolph
the Trobriand islands were stunning and the people were very friendly. We have been on 52 cruises and the PNG cruise was a real eyeopener, it was safe and the people were so friendly and very helpful. We took private tours in rabaul and alaotau would recommend this to anyone. The woodwork for sale on the islands was very good and the whole cruise is one we would recommend to all our friends.
J. Muller
The little children on all the islands that we visited beautiful smiles
F. Beckingsale
seeing new places we were not affected by the flu and the ship did every thing they could to control it thank you for your trouble for us our wheelchair was great no trouble trying to fit the wheelchair like other times and been in the forward part of the ship made it easy to get to most things . we have been at the back once and it was hard work getting to most things thanks again Robert Keating

Just experience the whole cruise adventure, It was new to me and the kids and we were all very impressed with the whole cruise. the crew was amazing the staff were friendly and helpful. the ship had everything you could ever need on it. it was like a small city on the water. loved the array and quality of the food. Loved the Italian food theme night. Food was great. Really enjoyed the entertainment and met a lot of various and interesting people from US< NZ and various parts of Australia. My kids made great friends which they still keep in contact with and so did I. I rested, relaxed and came back new but unfortunately didnt' want to come back home. Life on a cruise ship is a dream. only disappointment was that we couldn't stop at mystery island due to the wind and waves being too high for the tenders. Sharon who helped me find this cruise was ever so helpful and informative. She answered all my f questions as it was my first time cruising. I even got a room upgrade which was a bonus for me. Now I understand why you enjoy your job Sharon. Will definitely be going on another cruise in the near future. Elena Flood

we experienced maintainance noise over 2 nights and had to be moved twice from 2 rooms on level 6 down to level 4.This spoiled the start of our holiday.We were given a voucher to Salt Restaurant and $30 wine voucher which was very nice but would have prefered not to have had the interuption and move.We made the most of the rest of the Cruise and enjoyed it very much.
C. Hillyer
I loved everything about the cruise, the staff were amazing and the food was delicious, can't wait to book my next one

P. Moser
The temperatures in New Zealand didn't rise above 24 degrees and there was NO Humidity....How wonderful!The food was first class as was all the crew members that we came in contact with. Our Cabin was good but it was located at the wrong end of the ship regarding the location of The Venetian Restaurant and The Horizon Buffet! But we really did did enjoy the Cruise!
R. Bell
Great fun for the children. We had a great deal of trouble booking on to the ship as the children did not have photo identification. After contacting the other parent of each child they were able to board. This process took over an hour which was frustrating for all. Maybe there needs to be more made of this.

The best part of the cruising experience was the wide variety of activities available for all age groups, there was always something to do if you wanted to take part.
S. Williams
I only chose Princess because I wanted to go to NZ. The country did not disappoint! NZ was amazing and my favourite part was Milford Sound, Dunedin and Wellington. We have kids 10 and 8, and Princess don't cater for kids as well as Carnival do. However Carnival don't offer the same variety of destinations that Princess do. The food in the dining room was exceptionally good. As a family with kids we still prefer the Carnival cruise experience. However we may still book Princess again if there is a particular destination we want to visit that Carnival don't cruise to.

M. Henderson
1. It was great booking through Deck Chair Cruising. They answered all my questions (even the stupid ones) as it was our first cruise. Will definitely book through them again. I felt it was a personal booking service not just a random booking as I received a personal text prior to leaving on the cruise! 2. As this was our first cruise, we weren't sure on what to expect. P D was fantastic with a great crew on board who went out of their way to make us enjoy our cruise. The food was good and plenty of it with variety to please all tasetbuds. We enjoyed all the various activities throughout the day and night and tried to attend most events. I would like to suggest, the 2100hrs nighlty show with the Pacific Entertainers be changed to 2130 to allow for the completion of the night meal when seating at 2000hrs. I found we were missing the first 15 - 20 mins of the show or rushing to finish dinner to catch the show on time. I would also like to suggest in a quad room the option for the bottom two bunks to be joined and the 2 x bed side tables drawers be pushed to one side of the wall in the room. 3. I will definitely book with P & O again!4. Our favourite part was being able to spend quality family time together and not worry about cooking, cleaning etc...

The food and service were excellent. The cruise ship was beautifully decorated for the festive season and the atrium in particular was sensational with lovely Christmas decorations. The food for Christmas day and New Years day was excellent. The only grumble was the state room size and configuration. With the queen bed set up it was difficult for the person on the right hand side of the bed to get out of bed because it was blocked by the wardrobe. Otherwise we loved the Christmas / New Years Eve cruise. Thank you!

A. Heazlewood
Champagne Bay visit was amazing, we loved Lifou too - just simple pretty place to visit even though we just walked around and it was way too windy to swim. I would definately want to visit those 2 places again. We loved our waitress & assistant waitress - so friendly and really looked after us so well every night, being a longer cruise than our first which was 7 days, we definitely enjoyed the additional time on the ship.

She walked us through every aspect of the cruise including last minute insurance [which we had forgotten] and transfers to and from the airport along with an sms on the day of departure wishing us a lovely holiday. This service will keep us using Deck Chair Cruising and we have told all our friends about it as well. A big thank you to Mel and the team there.

J. Atherton
Deck chair cruising, and our agent Michael made the whole booking experience seamless. The cruise itself and the destination, New Zealand, were both fabulous. The ships crew were attentive and polite. The Dawn Princess, while comfortable, was tired and lacking care and maintenance which let the experience down a little. Still, we'd try princess again.

It is very hard to pick only one favourite part of the cruise as it was great from start to the time we had to leave at Santo & fly home for medical reasons but my pick would be The isl.of Pines,an unspoilt island that is full of beauty,with some of the best beaches i have ever seen.The water was crystal clear and is great for snorkling stright off the beach. Icould live there.
B. Mckenzie
The cruise itself was excellent. Meals and entertainment excellent. The weather was a bit off. But couldn't be helped. Your company service was first rate. Thank you. Tom hunter. ..

No favourites, I enjoyed it all, the dining, relaxation periods, pool activities, sitting on our own private balcony just watching the sea, the on land tours, very informative. Can't comment on the nightlife, as I did not take part in that, but on a whole I really enjoyed my cruise. Thank you.
D. Anderson
Really enjoyed the entertainment leader, SANDY, and his team of entertainers, especially Rory who was very funny. I thought Andy and Debbie in the Atrium were very talented and I enjoyed their style. The programme was good and there was plenty to choose from. The game show Liar was absolutely hilarious and the Melodious Murder Mystery game show was also funny as well as the Marriage match game show. The entertainment was very good overall. Food was average as we experienced amazing food on the Carnival Spirit in 2014 so we were a bit spoiled by that experience and found the food on the Pacific Jewel was cooked in oil that I don't like and sometimes lacked in flavour. It was ok but at least I didn't overindulge in it. Lol

Relaxing on the back deck as we sailed out of Melbourne. Always my most favourite part of any cruise.
