Poor ports of call , really expensive excursions 

Sydney (Australia)

Nothing to do at gladstone was docked in for 8 hours as well , no worth stopping at . 

Gladstone

Lovely port of call , lovely  little town with some nice restaurants to eat and drink in , nice swimming pool as well there .

Whitsundays (Airlie Beach, Hamilton Island)

Docked in at yorkey knobs nothing there , bus ride to cairns about 45 minutes away , nothing in cairns city centre. 

Cairns

The excursions on the ship was a RIP off , we went on the cruise from sydney to port Douglas wasnt worth it to be honest , bad weather to entire way up, really rough seas and no information at all for the entire cruise from captain , I think we heard him talk once no updates on weather or conditions of sea or anything , we had a couple of days were we got off on tenders and we honestly thought we was going to sink, the crossing was really bad and was such rough seas and a long journey over to land from were we dropped anchor( 30 minutes ) .God were to start : 

We booked this holiday over a year in advance, hated it from start to finish and at one point looked at getting off the ship and getting a flight home it was that bad, no good comments at all for this ship.
