Checkin at Sydney was fast and efficient we were onboard within 25 minutes of checking in. Our cabin had plenty of storage and bags went under bed. Plenty of hanging space

Food in dining room was quite good, not the best every day,but acceptable. I thought Royal and Holland America had marginally better food in dining room than Princess- better choices. Buffet breakfast very good. Buffet lunch good. Anytime dining good service throughout.. Staff excellent. Entertainment good for first week but dropped away after.Day time activities disappointed with little of interest most days. TV in room had access to good and new movies. Rough weather near Geralton made many sea sick- apparently this is common in this area. Excursions very much overpriced- think about using local services. For example we paid $89.95 each for a city tour in Darwin which was very average. The cultural tour in New Guines was $39.95 each for the bus- a taxi was $15 each way. Overall an enjoyable trip- 4/5
