This cruise was good and the ship was lovely The staff were amazing BUT the lectures were appalling an d not correct for the cruise that we were sailing
WWI battle of the coral sea anniversary over Anzac day and no lectures of this important event just bad talks about milk bread and beer from a bad speaker Sadly no personal dawn service just a copy of the sydney one on the big screen Then a service later in the lounge
The dining staff were excellent but we were disappointed with the new menus The Curtis Stone offers were not for us and as one of us does not eat fish often there was nothing on the main menu that appealed and there were not the usual always available choices we liked The curtis stone hotpot was very highly salted as were most of the over cooked vegetables The duck one night was incinerated - definitely not pink
small but adequate we did not go to bed early which was good as we were under the wheelhouse bar
river tour
adequate
interesting and happy islanders
excellent service
