Made a 9-nights cruise in January 2018.
Booking process was without any complications.
The ship and its decor are getting a bit tired and need refurbishment. The cabin layout was great, but the cabin furniture totally non-ergonomic. The room TV system is primitive and of little use, except to hire a very limited number of movies on demand at $4.99 a pop.
Buffet style lunch or dining is non-imaginative, with the regular Restaurant dinners OK. For an extra $45/pp per meal you can enjoy the specialist restaurant experience.
Staff generally v...Read more

If they enforced their rules would be have been a far better experience ( do not have rules if your not going to enforce them ) .
If you don't mind sitting in a restaurant ( Dinner time with Waiters ) surrounded by people who cannot be bothered putting on a Pair of shoes on this Cruise line will be fine, as they do not enforce the dress code anything goes ( Thongs for dinner, no problem ) so unlike other cruise lines where part of the dinning experience is the atmosphere you won't get it here. Chaos is the best way to describe port disembark...Read more

From the moment we arrived to the end of the cruise the staff could not have been more pleasant and helpful. The rooms were perfect and clean, thank you Rhibut, you were fantastic, the food and waiter entertainment was fantastic, no problems getting seated with anytime dining.

Shame about the weather as we missed an island but that was in the lap of ...Read more

We went on a 9 night cruise in November from Sydney to some Pacific Islands. The ship was great with a huge water slide and a great adults only pool and bar area. We had an extended balcony on deck 7 and the room was great, we even enjoyed dinner on the balcony one night. You can choose dinner options and we chose the any time dining which allowed us to go to the restaurant whatever time suited us. The food was really good with plenty of choices. The only problem we found was a lack of security on the ship and children running around everywhere...Read more
