Yes you are right! We have sailed from ports around the world and Sydney (Ciruclar Quay) is the best... We sailed on the Splendor in February 2024 for 20 Days and will return in 2025 for 18 days More. We are from Minnesota USA. Thanks for your Video.

Hey thanks! 😊 Yes it really was a pinch me moment sailing away from Sydney and we loved how you could just walk on with everything so close by! Ah that’s awesome we’ve decided to do a slightly longer cruise to the South Pacific next year as well! We also loved the split between Australian and American passengers on board, some great vibes! 😊

First off - excellent review. Interestingly, we are booked in exactly the same room type (actually 3 doors down on the same side), the same cruise itinerary, but in August. After booking the cruise I started reading comments on Cruise Critic, and there's a fair amount of negative feedback. Mostly complaining about the level of noise in public areas and "loud" decor, poor quality of food, long lines, poor service in the Lido buffet (i.e. difficulty in finding a clean table to sit at), inability to find quiet places, and the list goes on. I was almost ready to cancel this cruise and forfeit the deposit. Your video series on this cruise ship paints a much different picture. In some regards, I do think having an Ocean Suite takes an edge off of some of the issues (lines and waiting). As well, the food offerings viewed in the video seemed up to par. I'm not sure that we'll be that offended by the ship's decor, although it's does look quite gaudy. In any case, sending our appreciation for making these videos. You likely have contributed to our continuing on this cruise.

Hey thanks for the comment! We had the same fears after booking this cruise but we decided to go ahead as we had a suite for relaxation time and the dates and location were ideal for us with Aimi’s pregnancy! We went in with an open mind and were so glad we went ahead because it was a great trip! The service and entertainment were fantastic, the suite was definitely worth it to skip the water shuttle lines as well! The food quality was good enough for the price of cruise, when they missed a few times with the main dining room/buffet they make up for with the other great quick service options including a burger bar, pizza, Indian and sandwich deli bar for some great alternative options! And the extra charge restaurant Fahrenheit 555 was amazing as well! The decor is more out there but it very much fits the fun vibe of the ship, we liked it so much we have just booked a South Pacific cruise for next year! Thanks for the video appreciation, means a lot! Hope you have a great holiday! 😊

flew in a few months ago for a cruise took a taxi from the airport, and cost $100 (some people said they were charged $120) Google Maps says it takes 15 minutes, it took us 45-1hr during morning traffic, took the train back to the airport, took 25 mins and dropped you inside the airport. cost $17 per adult. about a 500m walk. don't get closer in a taxi

We did a similar itinerary but from Brissy on Quantum in Nov 2023. We had booked the Kuranda railway/Skyrail through the cruise line...the weather turned bad and they cancelled it! We stayed on the ship as Quantum is too big to dock in Cairns and the tenders where taking 30mins to get to Yorkey;s knob and then a 30 min bus ride from Yorkey's to Cairns! Nope! 🙂

Ah sorry to hear you had bad luck with the weather and the cancellation! 😭 We had the same issue later on this cruise when we couldn’t tender into Port Douglas due to bad weather, much more convenient to dock in the port when they can on the smaller ships! That is an effort to get there from Yorkeys Knob, fair shout staying on the ship I reckon! 😂

Hi thanks for the helpful video, we are going on the Splendor next month doing this cruise. was planning to do same type of excursion ourselves. If you don't mind, what time did you go up the skyrail and back down on the train? Also did you get uber to skysail starting point? I know the ship leaves 330pm from Cairns the date we go so would love to know the times you did as we don't want to miss the boat doing our own thing. Thanks

Hey thanks for the comment! You can book it all through the Kuranda Skyrail website with multiple time slots available. We took the Skyrail up at 11:30am - this was the only morning time we could get - boom early if you're going on a cruise! We chose to have an included bus transfer from the Pullman international hotel (closest to the cruise terminal), otherwise it would be a 20 minute uber as terminal is out of the city. Our scenic railway back down left at 3:30pm and got into Cairns at 5:30pm (2 hour train) - its then a 10 minute walk to the cruise from the train station. We were able to do this as we were in Cairns until 7pm, I think the other train in the afternoon leaves at 2pm so would still be too late for you guys leaving at 3:30pm. You may be able to do it the other way around with an earlier skyrail back in the afternoon - hope this helps!

@@disneydocdownunder Hi thanks for the quick and helpful reply, we were thinking of doing the opposite because of the time we are in port from 7am - 330pm. Taking the train from Cairns in the morning as they have a 830 and a 930am departure. Then taking the skyrail down as it looks like you can just jump on when you want easily. How much earlier prior to the ships departure of 7pm did you need to be back onboard? Thanks again Hayden And Sophie

What a big day of MK fun and relaxing at Grand Floridian. What an advantage staying delux and getting the evening magic hours. When I last went in 2015 all resort levels got this benefit. Def a shame they haven't gone back to offering that perk to all guests. That view from your room is stunning. I def could sit on that balcony watching the world pass by for hours.

I've never been to Universal Studios, but so many vlogs I've watched seem to encounter the same issues you guys did. I dont think it will be a park for me as I dont like thrill rides nor simulation rides. Def keen to experience the Hogwarts section though. We are actually visiting Universal Studios in Hollywood at the end of our December trip, in particular to experience the Mario land, so I am looking forward to experiencing that. I loved your interaction with Donkey and loved seeing the girls getting their groove on at the dance party. The locker situation here would def annoy me. Hopefully there was less rides down on your next day there.

Absolutely loved this vlog. HS is the park I'm most looking forward to experiencing as so much new areas since we visited in 2015. Despite never watching a Star Wars movie, im very excited to experience that land, especially the Rise of the Resistance ride as well as the blue/green milk. Not sure about Smugglers Ride as I get motion sickness, so might need to skip that 1. Im most looking forward to ride Slinky. I cant wait for that. Lara's tip is probably 1 of the best tips I've ever heard. I definitely would never have thought of that fantastic idea.

We def have a plan to visit the outlets to hopefully find some bargains. That room tour at Riviera was absolutely stunning and so huge. I can only imagine how many points it would need per night to stay there. All the food from Topilinoes (or however u spell it) looked sooooo yummy. Im def nervous about trying Guardians ride, again as Ive heard mixed reviews of it causing motion sickness. Might send my husband on first to ascertain whether I will be ok on it or not. Wow, the Epcot ball looks amazing at night with the beautiful colourful lights.

The outlets are great for brands like Ralph Lauren which are so expensive in Australia! That 3 bedroom grand villa at Riviera was indeed massive and incredible, I think it’s about 100 points per night most of the year which is a crazy amount 😂 Topolinos was good but not our favourite meal of the trip by a long shot which for the price was disappointing. Guardians is epic, definitely get your husband to scout it out for you! 😊

What a fun-filled day in AK. I am really looking forward to seeing the Pandora section for my first time. Although not sure I have enough courage to try Flight of Passage as I get bad motion sickness. But I feel I will have to try it at least once, maybe at the end of my day. Ive not been on a rapids type ride since the unfortunate accident at Dreamworld, so not sure I will be trying Kali Rapids either, especially after seeing that huge wave at the first drop. I have been seeing fantastic reviews about Tusker House character meals. But its not on our list for this upcoming trip. Where did u get the French toast sticks?, as they looked yummy.
