The crew was outstanding, making sure your every wish was met with a smile. We were concerned about taking a 34 day cruise thinking that it would be too long. We were wrong. The itinerary was great and our days at sea were filled with activities. I found it interesting that a large number of Australians choose this cruise to see their own country.

The size of the ship allowed us to get into ports the larger ships are unable to. The food was outstanding and not having to pay extra for the speciality restaurants was a plus. It was also nice to get bottles of water when departing the ship and not having to pay for it. Having facilities to do your laundry was a plus. We experienced some rough seas even thought the Captain tried his best to stay away from the bad weather. While the room was adequate, the bathroom was a little tight.

It was the crew and their smiling faces that really made the cruise enjoyable.
