Review summary

I wasn’t a fan of the atrium and floor plan but I’m used to it now

Embarkation

1 out of 5
Worst embarkation ever. Apparently the ship came in late, and a large group of Americans refused to get off because they were doing back to back cruises. The Australian government will not let anybody else on the ship, unless all passengers are off… the line to get on at embarkation time, was down the road 100 m at least then up a side street, and then down George Street heading towards the city. Eventually after being in the line for an hour or so, and I have to say it moved fairly quickly. Two OFFICERS came out .. they got on their walkie-talkies and all of a sudden that line moved and I mean moved quickly. We were no sooner on board and we were told that the rooms were ready so that was good.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
I always enjoy food I don’t have to cook myself. And particularly like Alfredo pizza, although not really prepared for the great big long line, there was to get in there.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Our favourite place is downstairs in the atrium near the cafe. We had good musicians on this trip, so we thoroughly enjoyed sitting there with Coffee, listening to the music.

Ship tip

We were only on a three night cruise, but if we were doing a longer Cruise, I can recommend the deluxe balcony on Baja level. In the AFT area. The amazing views from the back 👍👍. We had done 5 majestic Princess in a row. So know the ship pretty well .. we do enjoy the atrium alot. Avoid EFFY shops if you can. Total rip off.

Ports of call

Eden, Australia

5 out of 5
We did the short half day tour to Merimbula. We had really quite a nice time. The girl on the coach had lots to tell us and was quite funny although a little loud, but anyway that was okay. It was lovely walking around the town and having a coffee and walk around the lake. Then we came back and I caught the ships shuttle back to Eden and had a walk around that town, which I enjoyed immensely, and I walked back to the ship via the markets that the town had put on. And I spent some money there. Honestly enjoyed thisthree night cruise to Eden, as much as any other Cruise that I’ve done, it was relaxing and lovely

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We take our own luggage off and we just have breakfast and we walked straight out the door and we are on a train to get home probably within five minutes

How wonderful. We always stay on deck 11 too. Only once we had an aft balcony with wake views tho. That was sailing out of NY. Great spot to be. Glad you enjoyed
