I did not enjoy this experience. Over crowded, badly organised from the beginning. Our first thing was the master. We had to stand around waiting for so long some of the elderly were starting to get ill. Then our first meal in the Gold Pearl, was a disaster, giving us food we didn’t order. A storm meant we missed out on Port Arthur so we were in Hobart for two days. I thought they could have given us a free trip, via bus to Port Arthur, but know it was very costly.
They is so much waste, food is left everywhere, I saw pizza crusts in the lift a couple of days. So many bogans on board. They should refuse service.
Too cold to swim, activities lame, bingo, trivia?
Guntur the statesman’s Stewart was the only good thing about the cruise.
