Review summary

This was a fabulous cruise. It's just too bad that the weather didn't cooperate more.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Great! They did it by appointment only so it was very quiet and civil. No line!

Service and Staff

All the staff are excellent. Very friendly and always helpful.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
We really missed having a quiet piano bar and a sushi bar on this ship. Like the piano bar in The Grill on the Encore and the sushi bar on the Encore.( P.S. There's room for a sushi bar on the Odyssey in The Card Room.)

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
I am the one who selected our room but failed to look at the deck plan to see what was above the cabin. The pool bar is directly above. So there were things being dropped and thumping from 6am-10pm daily. Luckily, after about 4 days of that we asked to be moved and they were able to accommodate us.

Ship tip

Look at the deck plan before reserving your room to see what's above it.

Ports of call

Sydney, Australia
