Review summary

Had a great time with lots of fun activities on a short cruise. More lively and action packed than a longer cruise. Expect a party.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Very quick through Sydney terminal. Our boarding time was 12-12:30 but we showed up from the airport at 11:30 and were ushered straight through. Had priority boarding due to my daughter but all passengers were going through at the same rate.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Definitely leaving compared to Princess but adequate. We didn't do specialty dining.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Absolutely packed cruise and you could feel it. So odd to have Serenity right next to a bustling buffet.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

There was always an activity to choose from.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

The room steward was perfect. Dining staff were a bit disconnected but I assume they would be more personable if it was a longer cruise.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

Mostly tidy. Layout was confusing.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Good size and location. The bed was much more comfortable than I was expecting. Had a great sleep all three nights.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

Less than 5 minutes from being called to getting off the ship.
