Traveled with children

We were looking for a short trip to celebrate a milestone birthday where I did not have to do the catering.....booked three cabins (2 x Mini Suites [Level 11] and 1 x quad share on level 10.

The mini suites were very noisy as the pool deck was directly above - chairs and tables being dragged along teak day and night. Heavy rainfall inundated the pool area and the staircases mid-cruise from the upper deck down - fans everywhere.

Mini suite between ours and our daughters suffered flooding from their bathroom floor drain - they were moved, but the water inundated both the adjoining rooms - ours worse than our daughters. Nowhere for us to go, so carpet pulled up, fans running for 36 hours, unable to access room all through the next day. Windy day, so trying to find a sheltered place to sit was difficult - especially when one whole promenade was being painted with ladders and extensions for rollers everywhere.

Cabin Review

Cabin Mini Suite

Ok until our cabin was inundated with water and had the carpet pulled up, fans running for 36 hours and no access to the room for the daylight hours of one day.

Port Reviews

Sydney (Australia)

White Bay is a pretty poor location for visitors to Sydney.....not easy to get to.

Moreton Island

Nothing to write home about - fish milled around when being fed, but otherwise non-existent. Not a very good boat design - not much glass in the bottom.
