Yes. Every single ship of the First Fleet made it safely to Port Jackson. Most of the cargo was also intact, and there were far fewer convict deaths than there were on successive journeys.

Most of the ships returned to England, though not all made it back safely. During the return voyage of the Friendship to England, the crew was affected by scurvy. There were not enough crew to man the ship, so it was scuttled in the straights of Macassar, and the survivors transferred to the Alexander.

The H.M.S. Sirius, also did not last long. It stayed in Port Jackson as a supply ship, but was wrecked off Norfolk Island on 14 April 1790.
