Did the 13 day South Pacific and North Queensland Cruise. Family of 4 in Aft Mini-Suite.
Kids 10 and 16.
The itinerary was pretty good with nice visits to Noumea, Isle of Pines (Magnificent), Lifou, Cairns, Airlie Beach, Brisbane and Sydney.
Nicely renovated at dry dock. Everything clean and modern. Bedding is king and fold out sofa bed which was a little squeezy for the kids. They also complained that it was a bit hard and we got an extra quilt for them to sleep on top of. Modern TV. Ensuite a little tight. Shower over bath. In general the cabin was comfortable enough to live out of for a couple of weeks but if sharing with kids you do need the sofa bed raised during the day as that is your relaxation area. Balcony was quite spacious - had 2 chairs and a table. Good view at the rear of the ship.
Ship at Port is right at Circular Quay , Sydney. Right opposite Opera House and Harbour Bridge, Spectacular Port.
Magnificent tropical island. Crystal clear waters. Snorkling. Impossible to take a bad photo.
OK Beach. Local markets.
Took shuttle to city. Went to Southbank for a few drinks at the beer garden overlooking the man made beach and pool. Nice clean city.
