Review summary
Had cruised on Golden the year before so new the layout of the ship really well and what to expect. Really enjoyed the cruise and ports we visited. Was the first time visiting Kangaroo Island and Port Lincoln. Took our 2 adult daughters with us and shared a mini suite. Only down side about the cabin was the pull out sofa bed and pull down bed for 3 & 4th passengers they weren’t very comfortable. That was the only negative

Onboard Activities

Only sat out by the pool. Didn't use any of other facilities but they looked in good condition and pools always looked clean even for the age of the ship
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Not quite as much on offer as past cruises but think this was because it was less than 7 nights perhaps but still happy with what was offered

Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Had a mini suite. Size was good. Main bed very comfortable but the pull out beds for 3rd and 4th passengers weren't. Cabin was very clean. Steward was great
Wondered around the little town. Didn't do an excursion. Beautiful crystal clear water. Lovely quiet and relaxing place to come and stay awhile and explore the wildlife
We chose the self-help and took off our own bags Since we only had one each and able to assist ourselves. No waiting around just straight off ship when we were ready to leave 😊👍
