Cruise Sydney – Melbourne – Sydney: Wednesday 30th April 8.00pm – Sunday 2nd
May 2003

  Our
cruise on this ship departed from Sydney’s Wharf 8 on Sussex
Street. It contains a
large, clean check in area with plenty of free parking and room for
taxi drop off and pickups. There
are phones, toilets and a small shop. While you can walk up to the
ship outside only guests are permitted on board.
After checking
our bags and clearing several security procedures we were advised
our cabin details, handed our swipe cards that act as door keys and
as a charge-back facility for all areas, and boarded the ship. All
the staff were very
welcoming and loved the presence of the very blonde daughter! Most
are Chinese, Malaysian or from the Philippines.
Photographs are taken that are later available for sale at
$11.00 each.
