We chose this cruise as we wanted to sail up to Hamilton Island and Cairns, the ports of call were good, Willis Island was listed as a Anchor drop but we sailed past it very early in the morning and most passengers missed it. The Waterfront Restaurant and Pantry were not very hygienic as far as no tablecloths or placemats on tables so cutlery was placed on the table after being wiped down with a cloth used on all other things. There was no staff to ensure people sanitized their hands before entering, in the pantry some of the furniture was stained and dirty and tables sticky. Food was average, desserts were terrible tasted like bought in sponges and decorated no imagination at all. At night there were only 3 shows on a 7 night cruise and they were not good at all. on the whole would not go on Aria again
What you pay for is what you get it is only 3 star. Note: some of the public toilets were blocked constantly all of the trip.
cabin was clean, hot water was not hot enough.
Cairns was a lovely port to call into lots of things to do, we hired a car and drove up to Mossman George and then Port Douglas and lastly into Palm Cove.
