Itinerary: Australia

Being Wheel chair bound I had special needs ie Handicap room facilities and close to all amenities so my wife( carer) could enjoy too,I found all this and more.

If we wanted rowdy entertainment,or a more secluded corner to just enjoy soft piano music,or just read a book ,all these were only a few moments away.Daily walks were organised which were good for the able.I took advantage of one of the three spas while others may prefer a swim in the generous pool.

Beyond my wildest dreams.If I felt like dressing up there was ale carte dining,or the buffet for a quick in out meal.My favourite was a barbecue round the spas in which I could partake of in my bathers. Wherever we dined the food and service were first class.

Being a handicapped person`s cabin I expected and got a generous cabin with plenty of room to manoeuvre my wheelchair.The shower was more than I expected with handrails and a lift up shower seat,there was also plenty of room to sit at the wash basin so shaving was a breeze.The cabin was fairly noisy(air conditioner)And I must say the bed was spacious enough but fairly hard.

The quality of the entertainers (and there were plenty of them) was 'night club' standard,with something for every one I believe. The staff were exemplarily and made me feel that I was special to them.I was amazed that most new me by my first name.

After leaving Sydney we stopped at five islands from New Caledonia to Vanuatu.There is a pool and three spas,also a gym for those inclined. Deck quoutes and a golf range were also popular,as was the casino.Parents could leave their children in good hands.I remember seeing parties of children walking round the ship apparently having a great time.

I would love to have the friends I made over for dinner but unfortunately they live on the other side of Australia.Being a pensioner I found I was among folk of my vintage,but also had many a yarn with younger people even a honeymoon couple who were having a great time.I have never met so many people so easy to get along with, both passengers and staff.
