We just completed our trip, sailing on the Solstice for a 19 night transpacific cruise. This was our 42nd cruise and DW says it was the best vacation we have ever taken!
We live in Mesa AZ and started our adventure on April 4, 2018 flying on American to Sydney. The flight from LAX to SDY was almost 15 hours on a beautiful 787.
We arrived in Australia at about 7am. No problems on arrival and we took a cab to our hotel. Sydney has so much road construction; at times it is faster to walk. We arrived at the Holiday Inn Old Sydney at Circular Quay at about 10 AM and were given our room right away. DW and I walked around the area for a couple hours and that made us so happy we chose this hotel. So much to see and do and we were right in the middle of it all. DW was tired from the flight and decided to just lay low the rest of the day. I did the Sydney Bridge climb that afternoon. What a treat. I was on top of the bridge for sunset for my first night in Australia. Off to a great start.

Our deck 6 portside aft cabin was great! You have many steps from the stairs or elevators to get to the room, but that was ok with us. Billed as partially obstructed, it was very quiet and private. There was the top of the Blu restaurant beyond the balcony rail but it just made the balcony seem bigger. You just could not look down and see the water. Good storage, the cabinets above the bed store quite a bit of stuff. the bed is positioned close to the balcony door.
