Review summary

Our crossing was very smooth and we have been to most ports of call. It was a litlle cool from Seattle to Hawaii, then it starting getting very nice. We loved the small islands and snorkeling in Kona,Noumea, and Hamilton Island (Great Barrier Reef). The Komodo Dragons were very cool see. We enjoyed the history and the other wild life including Jumping Crockodiles, Kangaroos, and Koalas. If you like that kind of adventure, we recommend this trip.

Food was very good, although not extra special every night. Galla nights were definitely the best.

Singers and dancers were great, but other acts were OK. A few were excellent.

This was a very adult cruise, so I don't know about the childrens program.

We enjoyed all the staff and even the singers and dancers were involved in other activities with guests that made it fun.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We were upgraded to a Vista Suite and it was of good size and very comfortable with a tub and shower, plenty of closet space for the 2 of us.

Ship tip

Elevators were very good without much delay. the crows nest was typically a quiet spot in the evening. At 5:00 everday was a "sip and saver" where you could get a glass of red or white wine (different wine each day) and an appetizer for $4. It became a great meeting spot.
