I have always wanted to take a cruise but have had many reservations, I have spoken to a number of people who have gone on cruises and love it but once you start reading reviews on line, this starts to put many doubts in your mind. First and foremost when reading the reviews remember "everyone is different". Some people are just not going to be happy and will try and pick fault in everything, all things need to be put in perspective. Anyway as I have read so many reviews I felt a need to add my own.

It was just the three of us, my husband , my 10 year old boy and myself. We departed from Sydney and our allocated boarding time was 12.30pm. As you can imagine being our first cruise we were very excited to get on, so we started to line up at about 12.00pm. The embarkation is organised and it only took us about 40 minutes and we were on the ship. We were told that our stateroom would be available around 2pm. Some people thought they should be able to access their room straight away, but I do not think they realised that the ship has only arrived back to Sydney port at 6am that morning and they start having the new passengers for the next cruise come aboard at 11.30am. Excellent turn around if you ask me!

We played a game of mini golf and then went to the Windjammer for lunch (first of many lunches in the Windjammer). The Windjammer is a casual smorgasbord style cafe, the food is great and there is something for everyone. Breakfast is the best, there is everything you can imagine and they will cook your eggs just the way any you like them.
