I will start with the positives - disembarkation at Sydney was fast and efficient. That's the positives taken care of! So now the ship and the cruise!
The ships main problem is too many passengers and not enough public areas - so it is ALWAYS busy and finding a seat is not easy.
Embarkation took over 3 hours for most people thanks to total disorganization at the port.
Balcony door could not be left open at night as a screaming or whistling noise was emitted from the wall beside it spasmodically. Despite telling the Cabin Steward and even having him hear the noise (which scared the hell out of him) on the first morning, nothing was done till the 18th day.
Other than that the cabin didnt look or feel particularly new, but was fairly clean and tidy. The fridge wasnt particularly efficient.
Went to Ba Ria instead of HCMC and had a lovely day out!
An Uber to the local train station and a train into the city and then a pleasant few hours walking through the city before returning the same way we had arrived. The ship was moored a LONG way out of the city due to its size.
