There were 4 of us, my husband, myself and 2 of my daughters, who are in their 20’s and first time cruisers doing an 11 night New Zealand on Explorer of the Seas.
We flew from Brisbane to Sydney, caught the first train from the airport to the OPT and had just a 5 minute walk from the station to the ship.
Embarkation was easy and we were on the ship and checking out the Windjammer in no time. My daughters were allowed into the Platinum+ line to check in with us and there was no wait at all. No problems carrying on our 2 bottles of wine.
