This was my very first cruise alongside my partner, his parents and brother. After reading multiple reviews, I went along not expecting the greatest of experiences, but my mind has definitely changed. I would most definitely come back!
Our cruise went for 8 nights and if anything, it was just the right amount of time to fully experience everything within the ship. There were three stops: Mare, Isle of Pines and Noumea. As far as I know, embarkation went pretty smoothly, the only times we were held up consisted of receiving and putting money into our Sail and Sign cards. The ship left the dock on time.
Dining:
Three of us stayed in the room. Two single beds and one on the couch (transformed into a bed). The balcony was a nice touch and perfect for views when arriving and leaving ports. If you're a smoker however, you're not allowed to smoke on the balcony which pretty much defeats the purpose. The storage in the room was spacious enough for three except on of our luggages had to be stored next to the balcony door. Plenty of wardrobe and cabinet space, however. As expected, there's very little walking space throughout the room and the bathroom. No complaints on the room whatsoever, the housekeeper took very good care of everything and we always came back after a long day with our room looking spotless.
