We were a bit apprehensive about this short 3 day cruise after some bad reviews but was left wondering if this ship is the same as the one in the reviews. It was the most beautiful ship with state of the art technology and attractions. As this was a 3 day cruise and we have been on these before we knew that all the bars would be busy but it was nowhere near as bad as some of the others we have been on. The service as always was first class, the food was as expected and the layout is unlike any other Royal class of ship, and I have been on them all. It took us no more than 15 min from bag drop off to being on the ship (this may of been because we didn't have to go through imagration) as with new technology most things are already done beforehand. A great ship and a class above every other cruise ship in Australia. One must is to try and pre book all the activities and restaurants before getting on board as they are extremely popular and with well over 4000 passengers it can get extremely busy.
