Pre-Cruise: We flew into Sydney 2 days early and had a blast.
Embarkation: Easy as the cruise terminal was just a couple of blocks from our hotel, just walked on and went to our cabin. Cabin: Balcony. Plenty of room (have yet to have one that didn't), enjoyed the balcony throughout the cruise as we always do. Room steward (Rizza) was perfect as was the room service which delivered our fruit for breakfast each day without fail at 7:00 AM.
Dining: We had standard late dining at a table for 8. Great companions, waiters and meals; so good in fact that no one at our table missed a single meal! We had no complaints about the food at the other venues. The Horizon Court was fine, if you couldn't find something to eat, it was your problem. PS: the salads were terrific, fresh and great variety. The pizza's and hamburgers and hot dogs were the best we have had on a cruise (especially the pizza!)
Right size, great balcony, closet perfect for us as was the entire cabin. The larger TV was nice. If you've never had a balcony TRY one, you'll never go back!!. There's nothing like watching the sunrise or sunset from your balcony naked!
