I chose this re positioning cruise because I wanted to sail up the eastern coast of Australia and the great barrier reef around Torres Is. It ended up at Singapore which is a place I've heard many positive things about. I must say I wasn't disappointed. The cruise and the service as well as the food and entertainment exceeded my expectations.

Although some people have said the VOS is a bit tired, that's not what I saw. A $100 m upgrade saw it revamped with new carpet. They did take out some bars and added more cabins though. One criticism is there seems fewer places inside to just read a book in a corner somewhere. If you find a spot sooner or later there will be a activity there and you have to move on for peace. Some people complained that there wasn't a place you could just play cards at a table for 4 inside.

Although we had times for embarkation we found that when you arrived you just moved forward and did it smoothly. Well done guys. Read more
