We liked cruising from Brisbane & the ports of call. Aria is a small older ship & as we had a swell outside the Brisbane river I lost my dinner! We agree with the other reviews as we have been spoiled by Princess. Liked our inside cabin & liked to see some crew from Vanuatu. Jobs for some locals.A few more points, No bars or reception had a drinks menu so you don't know what beers & wine available or price. If you buy a bottle of wine they won't store so have to take to cabin(no fridge) No library on board, only a few deck chairs on deck 6 promenade.Have to pay for ice cream, burgers,pizza,cookies etc. We liked the Soundblasters band in the Blue Room but no dance floor,all carpeted.The passengers & Crew we found so friendly. Entertainment team also fun. .Booked late shuttle to airport as we had night flight but ship booked early bus & would not refund so 8 hours to waste at airport. cost $36 for 2. Waiting in bus saw sign for Taxis $30 per cab fixed price to airport!
Clean & tidy Liked mock window with curtain light dimming when lights turned off.
