FR 0313 - Day 18/Day 1 - Fremantle and Perth
Turnaround day was handled very well. We had been told that b2b people could have room service for breakfast (normally there is no room service on a departure day), but we took a chance and went to the dining room which has always been our preference. We must have been well after the rush, since the service was quite good and the room was not crowded at all. Reports from the WJ indicate that they were busy all morning.
Those b2b'ers on tour were escorted from the ship from deck 4, whereas disembarking passengers used deck 2. As a result, we did not have to contend with long lines and other pasesengers' carryon bags. We went straight from the theater to the busses.
Toni and I took different tours - mine was both cities and hers was both cities plus a river cruise. We both saw enough of each city to know that we want to go back to both of them. That's why I think it would be a great idea if RCCL were to drop Exmouth and do an overnight in Fremantle instead. There really wasn't enough time to do justice to either city - now that we had a decent port, we wanted more.
We had no problem getting back on the ship, bypassing newly arriving passengers.
I've already reported about the disappointments at dinner the first night of the second leg, so you alreeady know that the situation has been rectified.
Again, with only one show between both sittings, we didn't even try to go.
Despite the wrong table that night and the single show that night, we already knew that this leg would be better than the first.
