Where have the good beers gone in Sydney lounge?

Melbourne lounge Friday evening. New (rubbish) beer selection there too. Coffee is actually better at Melbourne than before. Didn't notice any other changes.

Sydney lounge again this morning. Was able to find a clear table and coffee service was faster than on Wednesday, though the whole coffee ordering process is still a bit haphazard - long queue, multiple orders taken at once and doled out seemingly at random. Awful coffee this morning, though.

Overall I miss the old lot.
 
In BNE lounge now, fridge stocked with summer beer range, wine a mix of old and new. New 'back up barista' coffee machine makes a nice creamly flat white, went nicely with the pancakes.

You will find that even though a new company is running the show, the majority of the staff will in fact be the old lot! Indeed the lounge where my wife worked she was the only one that didn't change over to the new company, by her own choice might I add. Cannot imagine it would be too different at other ports.
 
Familiar faces in BNE and SYD, and enjoyed a very tasty salad in SYD with quinoa in it that I was told is one of the many new additions to the (coming soon) Summer menu. looking forward to tasting what else is on offer.
