Favourite food onboard: Warm Chocolate Melting cake but order the Butter Pecan Ice Cream with it, that's how we do it in the Pro League.
Favourite drink onboard: That's easy, Thirsty Frog Summer Ale!
Favourite port: Half Moon Cay – the waters there are amazing, and the drinks are not bad either.
Favourite shore excursion: Day Trip to Chichen Itza, from the wonderful port of Cozumel. It's not every day you get to visit one of the 7 Wonder of the World and it can't be missed.
A must do on board: The "Behind the Fun" tour onboard is one of my favourites, I love seeing what goes on behind the scenes

Favourite food onboard: When I'm feeling a little bit fancy I always head to Fahrenheit 555 to devour the mouth watering Cowboy steak. Yehawww!
Favourite drink onboard: Just as it's time to bend the arm I always make sure I have Thirsty Frog Summer Ale in hand ready. Perfected and approved by yours truly. Oh and secretly I don’t mind a cheeky pina colada.
Favourite port: Airlie Beach, gateway to the Whitsunday islands with some of the best snorkelling I have done around the world.
Favourite shore excursion: Snorkelling the wrecks at Moreton island, from the wrecks to the fish life it’s a great experience had by the whole family.
A must do on board: Farenheit 555.
Sarah Miller
VIC/TAS & Homebased Networks Business Development Manager
Years in the Travel industry: 11 years
Favourite food onboard: It’s got to be a breakfast burrito, enjoyed in the peace and quiet of Serenity with an extra-large long black!
Favourite drink onboard: Now that’s a tough one .. there is too many delicious drinks to choose from, so I usually just let the Mixologists at Alchemy take me where I need to go!
Favourite port: Sydney. I know it’s cliché, but it’s one of the most stunning in the whole world … and it’s right in our own backyard. Nothing beats that view as you enjoy a sail away cocktail in Serenity.
Favourite shore excursion: Amédée Island: Climb one of the tallest lighthouse’s (247 steps) for spectacular views of the island and crisp blue sea, snorkel to your hearts content among the sea turtles, or take a cruise on the glass bottom boat and feast on a buffet lunch with self-serve beer taps.. what more could you want???
A must do on board: Anything and everything! During the day you’ll find me relaxing in Serenity, or battling it out in a Trivia. By night I’ll be cutting shapes at the Mega Deck Party, singing (awfully) along at Piano Bar, or the Rock Band at Red Frog Pub .. and if you stay out late enough you might even see me busting a move in the nightclub – always followed by a late night pizza en route to my cabin!

Favourite shore excursion: Feeding wild dolphins on Tangalooma Island Resort, as the sun sets across the water, and the wild dolphins come out to say hi such a great experience.
A must do on board: Give me a Theme night and I’m happy - I love the silent disco at the Hot White night – love watching everyone dance to different tracks, and it’s great for all members of the family
