Ship was very stable so no seasickness. Cabin was spacious with more than enough storage room. Cabin steward couldn't have been more helpful. Dining room food was pretty good and the staff again were very helpful. I wouldn't bother with the specialty restaurants- overpriced and not much better than the dining room. We had lunch at Chops but didn't eat at Izumi as menu looked boring compared to the local Japanese Restaurants we have around here in Sydney. The buffet was like you would expect- plenty of food- nice fresh salads and all the regular buffet foods (and the people who stuff themselves too).

Getting on and off the ship was seamless. We were in our cabin within 30mins, bags arrived quickly, suit hire worked perfectly, husbands shirts ironed nicely (cost a bit but I had factored it in). Getting off was super fast as we took our own bags so we were in a cab in about 15mins!

Booked a snorkeling tour on Mystery Island- amazing fish, coral and turtles. But you must be strong swimmers- it said this quite clearly but three of the group weren't very good swimmers so had to stay on the boat. You can hire snorkel etc on the Island so might not have needed to pay for the tour- I think there probably is quite a bit to see close to shore. Read more
