This was a back to back cruise to Australia and New Zealand, two countries on my wish list since many years.
We spent two days in Sidney staying at the Sidney Hilton Hotel before departure with excursions to the Sidney Opera House and to the Blue Mountains. All was most interesting and enjoyable, especially the ride on the steepest train ride and seeing a koala bear for the first time. Indeed there were several firsts on this cruise.
We were picked up by a limousine from the hotel to the port-side.
Lovely spacious cabin with en-suite and balcony. Comfortable bed, and bedding just right. The balcony was the best space we will always request a balcony on future cruises.
We had an exceptional room steward (Elton) for all three weeks of our cruise.
Lovely
