Maasdam Australia Circumnavigation

[pstoker]

This is our first 30 day cruise and my first time to Australia. I have to say, so far I've been pretty impressed with the ship, the crew, and the activities. I've enjoyed several of the lectures so far and I like the fact that the ship doesn't "feel" as crowded. My wife and I are easy going travelers. I have noticed some things that are worth mentioning. Though, I've never been on the Maasdam before, it seems like the ship has undergone a remodel. It seems like some of he appliances and upholstery/furnishings are newer. I also like that when you walk near the casino, you don't smell smoke. The lifeboat drill was one of the fastest I think I've every been through on a cruise. The one drawback of the drill was the volume on the speaker was so loud that people had to cup their ears to tolerate it. 

 

So far I'm very happy with the trip. Tomorrow will be our first stop at Airlie Beach. Starting out with a couple of sea days is a nice way to recover from travel lag and get into the rhythm of things onboard. DSC_0DSC_0098.NEF098.NEF

Sounds like a great itinerary, the only draw back is the long flights to & from. Looking forward to reading more.

I would love to do this cruise but just can't do those long flights from eastern Canada.  Five hours is pretty well the max I can handle flying w/o a break on land.  Looking forward to more photos etc.  Enjoy the cruise.
