21 Nov 2018 - 10 Nights New Zealand Cruise Itinerary

We embarked on our actual adventure today.  After checking out of our accommodation in Sydney, we walked straight to Overseas Passenger Terminal to check in to our upcoming 10 nights cruise to New Zealand (Auckland).  As Gold members of Royal Caribbean's Crown and Anchor Society (their loyalty program), we were entitled to Priority Check-in as early as 11am.

We will be boarding the ship named Radiance of the Seas.  This ship is not a "stranger" to Tracy and myself as we had traveled on her 13 years ago to Alaska.  Though this ship was built in 2001, it has gone through several rounds of refurbishment, with the latest being 2 years ago.  As such, I must say that the ship is still in a very good condition.
