  1. Just returned from 4 night cruise to Fraser Island 1-5 April 2016.

    Took my 2 grand-children (15 and 10) and we had a great time on Aria.

     

    Was not sure what to expect after reading some reviews and usually cruising on Princess. The ship was beautiful and our balcony cabin was spacious and clean. Nice bathroom with spa bath-tub. Even the single sofa bed was comfortable. Balcony had 2 chairs, small table and sun lounger.

     

    Dined twice in Waterfront Dining Room (6.30-7.00pm) and did not have to wait for a table. Breakfast and lunch was no wait either. Food good and order steamed vegetables on the side as they don't seem big on veges with main course.

    Had dinner in Dragon Lady which was average - small selection and service was rushed - maybe as it was complimentary on this cruise and they needed tables for next group.

    Also dined at Angelos Italian (again complimentary) and found food much better as well as the service and we were not rushed.

    The Pantry food was good and getting a table was no problem. Lots of variety.

    Much better than the old buffet.

     

    Kids Club - Shark Shack was only full on one occasion (went back 30 mins later and she was admitted) and my 10 year old used it every day.

    Even though the cruise was sold out we were able to get a pool chair everyday but we were there at 9.00am. The Edge only had a few activities and we had to wait one hour for the flying fox which limited how much we used this attraction.

     

    The staff and crew were happy and there were many waiters in Marquee serving drinks. Didn't have a problem getting a good seat for the shows which was also surprising being a full ship. Fraser Island was a good stop and the beach and resort are a few minutes walk from the ship.

    We hired a double canoe direct on the Island for one hour for $20.

    On the ship the Tour Desk was charging $60.

     

    Would recommend Pacific Aria (even though I'm not usually a P&O fan)

    but it was so good my husband and I are doing a cruise on Aria in June.

    So if you're booked on this ship you should enjoy it as it is better than the Pacific Dawn - a bit more up-market with lots of lovely bars and areas to relax.
