Yes she is an older ship and there were some leaks and maintenance going on. This didn't stop the fabulous service we received or the delicious food. Embarkation in Fremantle was easy and well organised, as was disembarkation.
Our balcony cabin B742 was comfortable with more than enough storage space. It was the further most rear cabin on the port side before the suite. There was a little vibration during docking times but generally very comfortable and quiet. We did have issues with the toilet refusing to flush (as did lots of the cabins in our area) but this was quickly fixed when we phoned. There were four times when we had to report it. Our room steward Petrus was fantastic, best service we've had. Nothing was a problem and he made our cabin like home.
The entertainment on our 26 night cruise had some repetition with it also being two back to back cruises. We went to a few shows, trivia and other bits and bobs. The shows weren't as good as we had on the Diamond last year. Our entertainment director was changed during the cruise. We rarely saw the new one after the change and when we did we found him quite overbearing. The rest of the entertainment staff were great.
