We were looking forward to a special repositioning cruise from Sydney and New Zealand to Hawaii. We got short changed.

Embarkation was handled pretty well, and we boarded early because of a morning rain. I was stopped by security due to my dangerous item - - a musical instrument! At 65 years old, holding a SEALED musical instrument, is hardly a dangerous item. A didgeridoo. The instrument was seized by security and when I asked to speak with the Security Director at 7:30 p.m. on embarkation day, I was told that "he's gone to sleep". WHAT? A security director has "retired for the evening" on embarkation day?? I kept asking continuously to Guest Services and to anyone who could help, and after 3 days, he telephoned me that security was keeping the musical instrument.

As we expected on embarkation, the rooms were not ready, but would be ready about 1:30 p.m., and they were.

Cabin Review

The room was a tiny bit small, but was fine. This balcony is a bit small because it is on the stern side of the "bubble" of the ship. The balcony immediately stern of this room has an incredibly small balcony.
