In our opinion the cruise had its ups and downs several which I will mention here.
We flew into Sydney 5 days before the cruise and wish we had come over even earlier as we felt like there was a lot we didn't get to see in Sydney and the surrounding area even though we tried to stay busy every day with tours. We stayed in the Amora Hotel Jamison in Sydney and enjoyed our 5 nights there before the cruise.
We had arranged tours both on the cruise and before and after if with others through the roll call on CC which is one of the many great things about this web site. Thanks again especially to Sharon and Van White for all the tours and activities we enjoyed with them.
We enjoyed the views from the back corner balcony suite, 7356, and luckily never ran into the posts that it has next to the bed. The room was large and although we did need additional hangers there was plenty of storage space for everything we had brought.
Our cabin steward was excellent and kept the room immaculate.
