We chose this ship after reading reviews and after seeing the ship docked in Wellington when in holiday in NZ three years ago. We could have picked up a cruise in Brisbane but we chose to fly down to Sydney as we thought the ship would be worth a special effort. We have two teenage children and were looking for a cruise that catered primarily for the adults, without ignoring the kids completely.
Embarkation was efficient and took about 45 minutes.The ship has been recently been refurbished and looked almost new.
Our cabins (or stateroom as they prefer to call them) were clean with everything in working order. Our stateroom attendant, Michael was well liked by us all. He was always asking me if there was something he could do for us.
Not a very interesting or attractive place
Great place - like the Blue Lagoon - until a thousand of us tourist turned up! Beware of the sea snakes.
