Creator's Key Takeaways
I wish I knew that the jet leg wouldn't be as bad as I expected.
I also wish I had known how much I was going to love Sydney. And I think it's now one of my favorite embarcation ports.
Another thing I wish I had known before this cruise was how booking a longer itinerary in Australia was so worthwhile.
I wish I had known that the excursions were going to be outrageously expensive, and next time I would probably consider booking more independent excursions.

If you're flying around the world for a cruise, you want to be prepared. When I flew to Australia for my first cruise around the continent, I had no idea what to expect. My 15-night itinerary traveled from Sydney to Bali, and it was jam-packed with exciting port days and new cultures to explore. Along the way, I certainly made some mistakes, but I also learned valuable lessons, too. These are the things I wish I knew before my Australia cruise, and what I'd do differently next time.
