Embarkation - Barangaroo, Wharf 5, in Darling Harbour. It was a very positive experience beginning with a warm welcome from the happy baggage handlers outside the big white tent and finishing as we were greeted by the onboard Sea Princess staff who took our photographs for ID purposes. It was all handled very professionally and expeditiously.
Our inside stateroom on Plaza Deck was compact. It was what we paid for and suited our needs. There was plenty of drawers and cupboard space for all our clothing and possessions. Our cases fitted nicely under our bed making the room much more comfortable. Carlo, our cabin steward, was most helpful whenever we approached him for either ship information or service.
We chose traditional dining in the Traviata Dining Room and the wait staff, Joseph Levita & Victor Barerra, appointed to care for our needs provided exceptional service especially when my husband became unwell and was absent from the dining room. Shouldn't overlook the services of the Head Waiter and Maitre D who also offered alternative dining options for him. We couldn't fault the food in the Dining Room. It was delicious and hot. The presentation was what we would expect in a good restaurant in any capitol city. Horizon Court offered a more casual dining experience and there was a good range of dishes to select from and some other options included a Grill Bar and Pizzeria.
Our inside stateroom on Plaza Deck (P329) was compact. Plenty of drawers and cupboard space for all our clothing and possessions. Cases fitted nicely under our bed making room more comfortable. Location was brilliant, close to the atrium, lift straight up to Horizon Court and Dining Rooms very handy too. No noise from the hallway.
