Left Sydney on a wet day but what an amazing first time experience over the next 9 days.
Room was a large oceanview stateroom but considered adequate for family of 3. Might be a bit of a squeeze if 4 in room. Located towards the front away from noise from Deck 4 to 6 and the engine at the back.
A bit choppy coming out of Sydney Heads but got use to the slight rolling after a day or so. There are free sea sick pills available at medical center.
Cabin more towards the front on Deck 2 and hence away from noise at Deck 4 to 6 (dining and entertainment decks). Being the front is also way from engine noise at back. A fair amount of storage space available. Empty luggage can be stored under the bed if required. Rooms are neat and compact with an adequate and fairly new ensuite from the refurbishment a year ago. Just outside cabin are the elevators and stairs up to the Broadway Theatre.
