This was a return visit on the same journey. Decided to upgrade from an ocean view cabin, to a mini-suite with balcony.
On arrival our toilet was blocked and flooded our bathroom and wardrobe area. This blockage took some hours to resolve. Bathroom was mopped and cleaned however, the unpleasant feeling of having had the toilet overflow and spill onto the floor never left my mind.
Room was flooded again, early in the trip, by an outside source. Remained damp and smelly for many days, even after being reported a number of times. The passage outside of our room was also flooded and smelled atrocious throughout the cruise.
Our cabin had all that would have been required to make this a magical experience. However, unaddressed water ingress made this cruise memorable by its unpleasantness. This cruise with its dampness, stench and health risk, will be remembered for ever but not in any favourable manner.
Boarded in Melbourne. Convenient as I live in Victoria.
Reef walk and Sting Ray feeding. Steam train ride. Both excellent, informative excursions.
