For first visit to Australia it's a great way to see the whole country. Given the time in port it's difficult to do everything you may want but do take advantage of optional excursions.
It nice have the same bed every night and not packing-unpacking as you do on a land tour.
Embarkation
2 out of 5
After a 25+ her flight we had to wait(another 4 he)until the official check-in time at 2pm. IMHO if you book your air through the cruise line you should be allowed to board the ship and wait in one of the lounges until the room is ready.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
Food was very good-looking no complaints.
Again IMHO I thought the beverage package was very expensive considering both stateroom occupants were required to purchase and it was a 28 day cruise. At approx $79/day/pp it too much.
The cruise offered a wine package on embarkation day. Nothing with PC!
Onboard Activities

Entertainment
4 out of 5
Very good. I did like the variety provided. Every few days an entertainer would leave while on port another would join us for a few days.
Good variety singers, comedians, magician, show band( excellent), show dancers(excellent) and various others.
Well done

Cabin / Stateroom

No issues, bed was comfortable, adaquate roominess. Lots of drawers and closet space.
Loved this port of call.
