We flew from Sydney to Melbourne and Boarded Golden Princess on the day of sailing. Airport to Ship transfer was arranged and we flew by own arrangements. Transfer worked very smoothly. Boarding smooth and quick on arrival at the dock.
We chose this cruise for a short break and it was visiting Hobart which is not new to us. Port Arthur and Phillip Island were new ports for us and easy to do ourselves. Phillip island has not had many cruise ships call and need to take more advantage of the influx to benefit and improve the experience for those who come ashore.
We attended the Gym on days we were at sea or had no need to disembark early. The gym was well maintained.
Balcony cabin with larger balcony. Balcony has some cover so is not looked down on completely by higher cabins. Plenty of storage utilising under bed for cases. Bathroom well kept. GOOD CABIN.
