It took a few days to get used to all the people (have been living in Alice Springs for 10 years) but once we got into the swing of where to go and what to do, we had a great time. We found plenty of interesting and healthy food to choose from, and experienced excellent service (Nuka) at the Black Pearl Restaurant. We found the shows very entertaining and Lee was an exceptional cruise director. We loved hanging out at the El Morocco lounge for the comedy (impressed when new comedians came onto the ship half way). Our 12 yr old loved hanging out at his age group (Circle C) and enjoyed the varied activities on offer. The house keepers all seemed genuinely friendly. There was plenty to do and we found it great value for money for a family of five. We loved all the snorkelling on our island trips (including a small trip to L’escapade Island). We laughed a lot!!
