Voyager of the Seas Review
Rating by category
Additional details
We travelled as a group made up of 13 family and friends ranging in age from 18 to 85. Most of our group had not been on a cruise before and only my partner and i had previously been on Royal Caribbean.
Embarkation
Very quick from arriving at the pier to getting on the ship. There was a separate line for Crown and Anchor society members so we were able to go straight thru. The buffet on deck 11 closed soon after we boarded but we did manage to find a quick meal, which was as good as anything you'd get at the local foodcourt and very uninspiring. The customary life boat drill was held at about 4pm so the Sydney summer sun was quite fierce on the side of the deck we were on. The sailaway out of the Harbour was spectacular as always.
Cabin Review
Interior Stateroom
Cabin was a decent size and well maintained. Our stateroom attendant Annis was excellent, always made sure we had plenty of soap and towels. His towel animals added a really nice touch. The cabin had a 2 seater couch and a desk, and even a kettle and mugs for tea and coffee. Don't forget to bring a travel adapter for 110 volts, but no powerboards are allowed. There is a hair dryer provided. You can use the phone to call between rooms or leave a message which makes it easy to keep in touch.
Port Reviews
Sydney (Australia)
Very easy to get from the airport to the pier just follow the signs at domestic terminal to find the trains. Buy a ticket to circular quay, make sure you are on the right platform heading to the city. There is a lift to the platform if you need it. Trains arrive about every 10 to 15 minutes during the day and take about 10 minutes to get to the quay. You will see the ship docked about 400m walk to the terminal once you get off the train. There is a lift here too if yiu need it.
Isle of Pines (New Caledonia)
Quite hot. Lots of local food stalls, a nice walk along the shoreline then back along the road under the pines. Pretty area for snorkelling and swimmimg with crystal clear waters.
Mystery Island
Good snorkelling just off the beach. Beautiful clear waters. Walk around the island in about half an hour.
