Cabin: Superior Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony

First time on a cruise and booked on the Ovation of the Seas based on all the hype surrounding the largest cruise ship.

In summary, these are my impressions:

A basic flaw was sending a ship built specifically for Chinese tourists to Australia. It is not set up for Westerners and the staff seem to have been a last minute recruitment.

Raining

Went from the Airport straight to the Port.
