I embarked on this cruise with great expectations after cruising many times with other lines,
I had heard rave reviews & was looking forward to a holiday. Sydney is my home, so the process of embarkation was smooth & swift with the usual photo opportunity. Finding my cabin was a challange as it was on the 2nd deck, when I was able to access the cabin it smelt bad. I was situated right down the front, last cabin forward, not happy. I approached the guest relations regarding same & to their credit had a change of cabin for me that evening, which I moved into the next day.
I had taken my 7 year old grandson with me & with 360 children on board, our sign up with the children's club was a shock when we were informed that they could only take 50 children
Beautiful day lovely place friendly people, but the line up for the tenders was hideous needed more tenders for a quicker service, it was very hot that day & there were lots of families with small children an older people who could have benefited with a quicker service from ship to shore
