Embarkation was as expected at Fremantle - disappointing - as per previous times it is a shabby facility, disorganised and slow, 2 hours wait is a bit much when you hear people can get on in 15 minutes at other ports in Oz.
The ship
Once on this mammoth ship we were never disappointed, our fabulous cabin overlooked the promenade and was just like the brochures. Ample storage and a good size bathroom with a shower door and all the hot water you need. Our attendant was always there with a smile and worked around our daily routines.
Cabin 7283 - overlooking promenade midships.
perfect central location to get to either end of ship. very quiet as one side is adjacent to a storage cupboard. Most families on lower decks so passage is very quiet. noise outside window to promenade is hardly noticeable but usually stops after 12.00 midnight.Plenty of storage and drawers, with great seating around the window area. Fridge was a bit dicky but not needed by us. good coffee making facilities but bring own instant coffee and get fresh milk and sugar from cafe each day.
