Great value, ship/food/service lived up to our expectations, itinerary was dynamic and comprehensive with lots of variety. Loved the alternating busy port days with a day off in between. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a quick exploration of the lands "down under"
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Smooth, quick and seamless, heart of Sydney, on the ship in 15 minutes, even with Covid protocols!
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Main dining service and fare were solid, specialty restaurants very good, one (Canaletto) better value though ambiance needs some love
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Westerdam is a basic ship without a lot of bells and whistles. We enjoyed calm days at sea, walking and lazing around
Entertainment
4 out of 5
excellent dancers, good but not great singers with some questionable material (supposedly number one hits that no one in the audience seemed to recognize?); classical musicians from Lincoln Center were a REAL treat
Children's Programs
very little for kids or teens to do on this cruise
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
exceptionally helpful staff genuinely happy to see us sailing
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Clean and well maintained, but the ship is showing its age and most decor needs a major refresh
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Basic cabin with a balcony (a first for us which we loved, makes the room feel twice as large); spotless, very comfortable bed and luxury linens. A bathtub on a cruise is a lot of fun and rare!
Gorgeous beaches and volcano hike within walking of the ship, but for Tolkien fans, the holy grail: a tour to Hobbiton. Knocked the whole cruise out of the park for my wife and I . Pure magic
