Royal Caribbean International - Adventure of the Seas

I was on the Anthem of the Seas and it was great! All of the employees were so nice, one employee told me he works 12 hours but he ALWAYS smiled and was very friendly and looked genuinely happy. The ship was so much fun, so many cool things to do, there was so much to do we didn't even have time to do all of it during the 7 day cruise. I would definitely recommend!!

Leaving Port Melbourne to Devonport with our car and return. First time experience.  Queue for boarding, long waiting time, took about 30mins to get on board. I think it is first in last out, we always get in early and both times go up to deck 6. They always called deck 3 and 5 to leave first when arrived. Loading and unloading is easy, just follow instructions, there are staffs to guide you where you need to go and park or drive out. We booked a cabin for 4, not much room to move around with bunks on each side. We brought our own snacks for dinner so can't comment on the food offering. For people like me who have motion sickness, from Melbourne to Devonport, the ride is smooth, no problem until about 3am, a little bit of bumpy waves, according to the staff, it is consider very smooth so I guess it is all good. From Devonport to Melbourne, kind of a bumpy ride, even my daughter who doesn't have motion sickness also feel not well, we all end up sleep early. Overall experience is great and fun. We took the overnight ride. Saw the sunset while leaving Melbourne and the sunrise when arrived back at Melbourne. The ride is about 9hrs. The cost of the ride is similar to air tickets with car rental for 4 but I preferred to take my own car and all my "stuff" for touring Tassie, stuff like body boards, snorkelling gears, wet suits, shoes, sandals and wet shoes. Would definitely do it again!

A very nice experience of travelling through Spirit of Tasmania across Bass Strait. Price was steep but it was school holidays and their peak season. The embarkment took a very long time but the staff was very efficient and at no time you feel left alone. Once on board there are lots of eating options from quick snacks to high class meals all at very reasonable cost. Day trips offer a lot of fun activities for all age groups. You can bring your own food and drinks and enjoy, also your reading material or board games. Highly recommended if you want to take your vehicle across the straits.
