Ship is massive, and found lifts were very slow. Use stairs if possible. All activities were outstanding. The wave rider, mini putt putt, and climbing wall in peak times can be a long wait but well worth it. Has 2 pools and if you like quietness use the solarium pool. No kids in pool rule can make it very peaceful. Be warned on the starboard side of main pool is a smokers area and if your not a smoker or suffer asthma it can be quite smoky.
Lots of activities to choose from just check your Cruise compass which is delivered to room every night and can be obtained from customer service. Service most times was outstanding. Found though you had to be pushy to get things done.
Our cabin was a suite. With so much room, a lounge suite, many draws and walk in closest it was a dream room. Bathroom though was still tiny but all rooms had this problem. Unfortunately for us the room steward we had was not so attentive. And we reported him in the end. Our room was not kept tidy. Bin only emptied maybe three times all cruise. And it was full every day. Still unmade at 130 in the afternoon and we were out of room by 930 each morning. So having a suite does not guarantee service. We are very laid back people but even we could not stand it.
Great size with many draws and walk in closet. Had a lounge suite to sit on. Large balcony. Bathroom still quite small. Had a bath tub but I found it difficult to get in and out of for shower. Being short I had trouble climbing over the side of the tub. Bed was very comfortable. Our experience for the first time with size was great but service from cabin steward was poor. For this reason we would probably not book a suite again as we found it not much different from a normal room with a balcony.
Brisbane was a nice place and caught up with friends. So far out of town made it hard on passengers with having to rely on cruise line to get you into town. Could not just walk into town as to far. Not a nice first impression of Brisbane, but the size of ship makes it impossible to dock any where else.
