Additional details
We chose this cruise because of its proximity to our home and no long haul flying needed.
We boarded in Melbourne and this was orderly but we had to wait to be called as it was a full sailing.
Once onboard we dined in the dining room and later went to our cabin to find the bags on the bed.
Cabin Review
Deluxe Stateroom with Large Picture Window (extremely limited view)
The cabin was on deck 8.
It was quiet at all times.
We couldn't see much out the window but that's what we signed up for!
Deck 7 is probably my preference in an E1 room.
