Additional details
What did we expect - no idea - despite joining the CC Roll Call for this cruise?
Embarkation in Sydney on a very wet Saturday was painless (they have had plenty of practice by now) and we found our stateroom easily. We took the recommendation to visit the Windjammer cafeteria for lunch and that was when we first experienced the fact that we would be sailing with 3000+ other hardy souls! We also vowed that, unless absolutely necessary, we would not venture into that vast domain for food for the rest of the trip (nothing wrong with the food - just too many people all at once - and we wanted/needed to avoid all the extra calories!) (we only broke this "rule" twice during the cruise and then only for a carafe or two of wine at the back end approaching sunset!)
We soon settled into our daily routine which was helped by the crossing of the Tasman Sea in good conditions - and in what proved to be the warmest few days of the whole cruise where we were able to adjust to life without the hassles of everyday living ashore.
Cabin Review
Superior Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony
Our room was more than adequate. This was our first cruise and we chose not to "over extend" ourselves financially in case we didn't like it. As it turned out, this room was very suitable for us especially as the weather was not always warm and a balcony would have been under used.The window gave a good view in all weathers and the room was in a quiet position on Deck 2.
