Currently of a Cruise no peace or quiet
Currently on a South Pacific cruise our cabin on deck 8 being kept awake as music thumps down through the 80's Rock party on Lido deck 9. Its now 12:40 am and there is no escaping the thumping loud drumming music.
Its our first shore day tommorrow and even with earplugs in I cannot kerp the noise out to get to sleep. We paid for rest and relaxation yet between noisy neighbours and thumping loud deck parties thats the joke of the day to which my response is not laughter... Dont do it too yourself.
Crew in general otherwise lovely but peace and rest are limited options in this current experience....

Poor value for money
We paid premium for a 12 night Christmas cruise. In all we had a good time but we both come back sick. The sore throat, high fever, cough etc started on the 2nd week on board.
The positives:
Friendly staff, the destination, beautiful tropical islands. The people you meet on the cruise.
The negatives:
Lack of hygiene in buffet, long queues at the buffet esp if you want to use the toaster. Sides bar was a salmonella breading ground. Plastic cups not dried, perfect breathing ground for bacteria. Sticky tables, long queues at breakfast. Only pl...Read more

Money grabbing & not for the guest
Awful, nasty experience. Jeez where do I start?? I will dot point..
* the room had ONE power point. That's all. Called guest services and asked for an extension cord as I have a cpap machine. They didn't know what an extension cord was.
* The so called lemonade is lemon cordial, the iced tea was a really strange flavour. Coffee from the machine was actually undrinkable... it was like drinking the grinds and hot water. We bought two cappuccinos from a cafe and they were barely coffee... so NO coffee for the whole trip
* At brekky they have 2 toa...Read more
sters for everyone... be prepared to wait an eternity. * The staff still open your door of the room even when there is a do not disturb on the door... not very nice when you're half naked * You can download their app and "free wifi" however if you want to keep contact and chat with another person on the ship it costs $9. So take a kiddies radio if you want to keep contact with your kids/ partner/ whoever, bring a radio on board. * it costs $30 to get JUST social media on the trip, or pay $50 to get that and e mail etc. The internet " cafe" is 3 computers in a walkway and cost, minimum, $15 for 24 hours. * the tv in the room is old, has about 8 channels, no movies or anything remotely watchable. There's no DVD player. * There's shampoo, soap and body wash in your bathroom. That's it. * The so called ' serenity ' adults only area was far from serene... jam packed and blaring music. I don't think they know the meaning of serenity.

A nice 7 day cruise with some ups and some downs, literally...
This was our first "Big cruise ship" cruise. The decor is old and worn but everything on board was clean. Staff were happy and friendly but sometimes hard to understand. The dance shows were fantastic, with something different every night. We especially enjoyed the magician show. We enjoyed dining in the Empire dining room every night. Three course meals with lots of choice. Some meals did come out luke warm instead of hot. They had entertainment scheduled throughout the day and night, something for everyone. We found something to do all day...Read more
long, even relaxing out in the sun lounge pods of the serenity lounge. The smokers area was pretty bad... especially when you have no choice but walk through it, it is also where the children swim in the pool. Unfortunately we had two days of high 5 metre swells. It was very rocky and quite creaky. The thing I felt most uncomfortable with was the constant "on selling" of other products, especially drinks, photos, Art work, and general souvenirs. It was non stop. We entered a competition on the first day on the ship to win a spa treatment. The day before we got back to Sydney we got a call in our cabin telling us we had won... $50 off a hot stone massage that was worth $160... we said no thank you. We probably won't be going on any future cruises. Considering the price we paid for this cruise and then adding on drinks and tours it worked out to be slightly more expensive than what we would normally spend on a 7 day holiday.Similar opinion?

Disappointing
Some of food was very good, but for most of the food you could get better at any Aussie Cafe in a shopping Mall. The food is very average, but at least there's plenty of it.
Pizza - half a teaspoon of cheese and 8 pepperoni slices is Pepperoni Pizza according to Carnival.
Coffee - At the Buffet area is typical American Krap, Burnt, Bitter, Brewed for hours. Just dreadful.
Lemonade - It's NOT Lemonade, it's actually Lemon Flavored Beverage Base Mix, but Carnival use it straight up and call it Lemonade. You just can not Imagine how bad this taste...Read more

Never again!
We booked the cruise from Sydney to Noumea, Lifou, Mystery Island and Maree through cruisesalefinder after reading glowing reviews there. This was my first cruise and what a complete letdown! Apart from the relatively smooth embarking and debarking process, average entertainment and decent cabin size, we did not enjoy our time on this cruise. The food was average with limited choices, limited opening hours in the Lido buffet and small portion size in the main dining room, not to mention it being salty sometimes. We were offered the same fruit e...Read more
very day ie. rock melon, water melon and honey dew melon! Also as we chose the anytime dining option, if we did not manage to come early ie. around 6pm, we had to wait 20-30 mins to get a table, and another 30-45 mins to have our food served! We came to the main dining room around 7.30pm on the last night and I made a mistake of ordering only 1 main dish and 2 entrees (which were very small), I was famished when the main dish arrived which was a small piece of salmon and 1 tablespoon of white rice! We decided to skip desserts as we could not stand the long wait and went to the buffet but I was not tempted by the cakes there. By the time I was hungry again and decided to get the cakes, the buffet was already closed at 9pm! As for the excursions, we decided to book 2 excursions to use up the $250 credit. The 3hr Best of Noumea bus tour priced at $89 including morning tea was a complete joke. The glass bottom boat tour to see corals was better but unsafe as the boat was drifting far from shore for 1 hour and we were not provided with life vests although they were on board.Similar opinion?
