Australia by land and by sea. A detailed long review of the entire trip.

The trip involves a 10 day Sydney to Sydney cruise on Royal Caribbean's Rhapsody of the Seas plus 4 nights in Sydney and 3 nights in Melbourne. We have 6 Americans and 2 Australians on the cruise. Youngest is 22, oldest is 67. My group is from Chicago. We will be visiting relatives in both cities. It will be early fall in Australia and Easter is the first Sunday of the cruise. I'm paying for three people.

Cruise Booking: We booked the cruise direct for 4 of us and the other 4 booked through a TA. We bought insurance thru the cruise line. We paid for 2 cat D1 verandahs and had to take a GTY. Other 4 booked 2 JS Junior Suites which was about an extra $500 per couple. They were assigned cabins at booking. We linked all reservations so we could get an assigned table for late dining. We all booked early November for an April 2 sailing. Final payment was due early January. In early March we got our cabin assignment. We were not contacted, we have not cruised on RCI before, but we were given a free upgrade to two adjoining Junior Suites port side aft deck 8. 8068 and 8070. NOTE: We never opened the connecting door.
