We chose this cruise as it was part of a package through eCruising and it sailed into Sydney from Singapore.

From the beginning of the cruise tthings did not go well. The organisation (transfers) to the port were poorly organised. This is not Royal Caribbean’s fault but Ecruising’s . We waited at a very crowded port with no drinks, food and inadequate seating for several hours and were not able to board until nearly 7 pm.
