As this was our first cruise (2 adults, 8 year old and an 11 year old) we had no real expectations.
We dropped off our bags early at the ship (around 9.00 a.m) and explored Sydney's waterfront and the Opera House district.
Embarked around 11:30 a.m and had lunch at Windjammer (Royal Caribbean is first rate with hygiene practices and has staff on hand with hand sanitiser and all the eateries.
Our Cabin was at the front for the ship with the porthole facing forward, we enjoyed it and it suited our needs it was a little bigger. We did notice the photo of the room had the bed under the porthole with a privacy curtain between the kings size bed and the fold out couch. Our room was not set up like this. Our bed was beside the fold out couch with no privacy curtain between the bed and the couch.
The room was well presented although the toilet did play up twice, but that was easily fixed by calling room services.
Our room attendant was fantastic, he had learned our names and the towel animals he made were well received.
A fantastic tropical paradise
