Review summary

I took a friend who had never cruised and it was such a great experience for her. The MDR experience was exceptional. My cousin and I had cruised before and knew what it was all about but there were lots of awwwww moments. Especially loved our Dandenong tour and our time in Hobart was special. We had great cruising weather and our balcony cabin was brilliant except for the Pullman ladder. Overall we had a ball.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Good size clean cabin and loved the balcony. The Pullman although comfortable was difficult for us to get into. The ladder had very thin steps and we all had great difficulty climbing it. It actually bruised our feet. Ok maybe for a child but not an elderly person. Saying that we pushed on and enjoyed our room. Attendant made sure everything was made up and clean. No complaints at all.
