We chose this cruise because it left from our home town of Melbourne and meant that we could celebrate Christmas and New Year on board ship. I had high expectations and was not disappointed. Everything from the food to the entertainment was excellent. We enjoyed all of the on shore excursions and found them easy to access. The service on board was excellent, there was always plenty of people to help, serve and assist. It was lovely spending Christmas on board where everything was taken care of. The entertainment, on every night, was of a very high standard and we truly enjoyed the variety of singers and performers. Our cabin, and especially the bed, was very comfortable. The television big and easy to watch and a good variety of programs. Not that we spent much time in the cabin, there was plenty to see and do throughout the ship. We are already planning our next trip!
The cabin was compact but spacious enough. We enjoyed the extra space of the balcony and the chance to get outside easily. Also we were able to see some of the scenery from our own balcony.
