After reading various reviews we were slightly anxious about the size of the ship and the capacity to deal with so many people - how wrong we were, thankfully. I understand everyone has a different interpretation on matters however we were surprised at the ease of the entire process.
Embarkation and disembarkation could not have gone any smoother which was fantastic as we had heard of delays and queues. After arrival at the pier in Sydney, we were sitting down having lunch in Windjammers within half an hour. No issues finding a dining table either.
Luggage arrived with no delay which meant I could unpack and settle into our stateroom (yes, I'm one of those who has to unpack and 'move in'!) then go exploring this beautiful ship.
