Buses to city from port at good price, city fine lovely place to visit, no problems getting around with public transport or walking to city sites.

Tender boat to shore. Walk or bus to town centre, nice place to visit. Could get tours ashore if you wished.

Whitsundays (Airlie Beach, Hamilton Island)

Port Douglas - Tender to port, could walk around to town sites or get a tour if you wished ashore. Lovely place to visit.

Cairns

Can walk to city. or get bus. Lovely place , plenty in city to see , public transport good clean and cheap to outer areas.

Darwin

Had 1 1/2 days. Plenty to see and do. Public transport excellent. One day in Perth and 1/2 day in Fremantle all good stuff.

Perth (Fremantle)

Port Melbourne for ship, to get around in Melbourne it's a bit of a pain, need to buy a special card then load it up with money...what a pain. We walked everywhere, even to St Kilda 7km along the beach and into town 5km each way. But if you get your card you can get a one day trip that covers buses and trams. Lots to see, free buses and trams once in the city to get a ride around to all the sites.

Melbourne

Walk short to town. Plenty to see , lots of old buildings etc. Can get tours etc in town.

Hobart

Cabin was fine, a few rattles every now and then, fixed with sliding paper into gaps.

Princess policy on taking Alcohol on board - has always been the same but never enforced in last few years so could bring back a bottle from port anytime - but suddenly it was enforced after a few ports, no warnings issued, just give me the bottles you can have them back at the end.Trivia is a great fun time - but when the same people win nearly every day it becomes a bit much - shorly they can penalize a group or only allow them to win so many times.
