This was our fourth cruise flying from the Gold Coast to board the ship in Sydney so as to experience the departure from Sydney Harbor which was worth it.

Previously we have done the 7 nights South Pacific on the Pacific Dawn an excellent cruise and would recommend, 10 nights around the Eastern Mediterranean on the Crown Princess, another lovely cruise that we would highly recommend with beautiful food, 12 nights around the Western Mediterranean on the Norwegian Jade a bright fun ship again with excellent services and food and we were looking forward to, This next 15 nights around the East Coast of Australia and on to Singapore, as my wife was recovering from a Breast Cancer operation on the Carnival Spirit.

Leaving from Sydney and going to Singapore (we were notified after departing, that it was for some minor upgrades and resteraunt renovations) via Brisbane, Airlie Beach, Darwin, Lombok, and Bali (wherein all the passengers, including children, whether going ashore or not, were automatically charged $50 each for being in Indonesian Waters).

Cabin Review

Cabin Balcony

At best average, old and mildew in and around shower area. Only one 240 power outlet in the room and no coffee making facilities.

Port Reviews

Brisbane

The port in Brisbane was a grain terminal, awful and 25 odd kilometers from Brisbane!

Airlie Beach, although accessed via tender (part of the fun) was great band, markets, shuttle bus and very clean.

Darwin good shuttle bus and plenty to do in Darwin only a couple of minutes away.
