Overall this was a fabulous cruise and we enjoyed the onship experience.

Boarding - the boarding process has been improved since the last time we cruised with Royal Caribbean with the lines staying within the building. Boarding was delayed as they did a thorough clean of the ship to stop the previous incidents of Gastro/Noro (and it worked). We were able to drop our bags off at the pier and there are plenty of eatery options at Circular Quay and the Rocks. Boarding was a 3 stage process with staff at every section to help you complete the forms and go to the next stage. The one big thing we noticed - if you had powerboards you were taken aside at the security screening and your power boards were taken off you, there were about 400 in a box when my friend went through. Oh and boarding when muster is on (was at 5pm) is like the walk of shame :-) with lots of people watching you.

The Ship - this ship is much larger than the other options out of Australia, which means on the most part that every one is spread out and there are lots of activity options available. Those who went to the 3D near new to DVD movies said they were great to watch. The evening shows varied in quality and interesting content - unfortunately cruise liners still think that most of their client group was born in the 1940's or earlier with not much in the way of modern or popular music for those in their 20-30's without going to the night club. The fitness centre was very popular with a good number of cardio machines (try and run straight on a rolling ship!), some fixed weight machines and benches. however it lacked fit balls and stretching areas without going into the group fitness room. the group fitness classes targeted the already fit but could be scaled to a point.

Cabin Review

this was my first experience of a promenade state room (these are inside rooms with a window over the central shopping area). my room was at the aft end overlooking the general store and guest services. The room was very spacious with a sitting area, king bed and lots of cupboard space (you just had to be careful as you walked around the base of the bed as my shins will attest). the room was extremely quiet - most of the activities happened at the other end of the promenade. being able to sit on the couch and people watch was a nice distraction sometimes if I didn't feel like going out.
