We loved it and would definitely do it again. We always enjoy Royal Caribbean - the food, service, activities and entertainment. We had a few rough days on the ocean, but not that many.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
We thoroughly enjoy the dining rooms. The buffet can be very busy at meal times - hard to find a seat. We didn't try a specialty restaurant - didn't feel like we needed to.

Ship tip
Prepare to enjoy. There are a few areas that a looking a little tired, but for the most part it is beautiful!
We took the bus to the beach. I recommend not to get a day pass however, because the bus was full to return and the next bus didn't come for an hour. We ended up just using Uber to return. If there's more than two of you, it's just as cheap to use Uber.
This was an interesting little village with a nice beach right at the port. We found that everything was way over priced. You were able to barter and I would recommend that, for sure.
We took the ship's shuttle to the beach (the only thing available for tours). It was the most beautiful beach I've ever been to. Wonderful snorkelling.
We stayed in Sydney for 3 nights. What a lovely city with so much to do. We took a cheap bus tour (3 hours) and it was great. Did lots of walking. Took the train to the Blue Mountains (I don't think we would do that again). We really appreciated having an Opal card for all the public transportation. The maximum rate per day is $15. That's for anywhere in New South Wales.
