This cruise was to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary.
Embarkation was fast , friendly and efficient. All staff involved were great. Our boarding time was 12 - 12.30, checked our bags in around 9.30 . Had time to have coffee and sightseeing around Circular Quay before boarding.
We were having lunch on board before 12.30. Room was made up but no bags until later. When we went to our cabin around 2.30 1 bag was there but the 2nd was missing.Our cabin steward found it & brought it to us.Cabin was roomy & clean,beds very comfortable & quiet. (except for noisy kids in hallway)
Spacious, clean, very comfortable beds,great cabin attendants,
Went ashore but due to very heavy rain were unable to do much so returned to ship.
If you didn't have a ship tour booked it could be rather intimidating once on shore.You have to run the gauntlet through all the local taxis & tour operators,some were very insistent & had their own agenda where they would take you.
A tender to the island was good, the locals were welcoming & markets set up. Rain spoilt the time there.Would have liked to see a bit more of the island.
