We are now in Brisbane. It was a lovely cruise. The food and service were great. The disembarkation process was very efficient. No waiting in line anywhere including going through immigration and customs. We booked the shuttle going downtown ($20 each) and they took us and our luggage downtown in about 20 minutes. The drop off point is Anzac square which is right in the middle of the CBD. Our hotel was a 5 minute walk from there. Overall a great experience with Serenade right up to the end of the cruise! We will follow along if someone keeps posting on this thread. To those still onboard or rejoining later, have a great cruise!
