A short 7 night cruise up Queensland coast. We needed a quick getaway and this fitted the bill. Lots of retail experiences if interested. For us it was about relaxing, enjoying leisurely activities and meeting new people!

Ship Quality

Getting a bit tired but all areas clean and well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Bit small...very little room to get into queen bed from sides. Clean and tidy. Comfortable bed. Fresh linen.

Ship tip

Choose a cabin midship. Adults only pool area near gym at back of ship less busy than deck 12 midship pool area.

Ports of call

Brisbane, Australia

5 out of 5
Great...easy walk to town and along foreshore to lagoon.

Port Douglas, Australia

4 out of 5
Tender needed. Interesting town. Worth a walk through. Can get to reef from onshore operators...cheaper than princess shore excursions.

Disembarkation
