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

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

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

Ports of call

Melbourne, Australia

5 out of 5
Great our trip was a round trip from Melb so stayed a few nights before we sailed. A trip to see the penguins on Phillip Island is well worth doing

Adelaide, Australia

Nice have been to the city before. Glenelg is a lovely beach to visit. Didn't do an excursion

Kangaroo Island, Australia

5 out of 5
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

Port Lincoln, Australia

5 out of 5
Friendly port, welcoming tourists. Had a wonder around the town. Great place if you like seafood. Didn't do any excursion

Disembarkation

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 😊👍
