Sail Date: Feb 2016
Cabin: Superior Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony

We had a wonderful cruise and except for one rainy day in Tauranga the weather was absolutely perfect. I must complement you on a big improvement in MDR food and the Windjammer food AND service compared to a year ago on Voyager. The food was really exceptional. It came out of the kitchens hot and was very tasty and impressed us all. Windjammer service was also great with the staff being very helpful and attentive!

The ship was well maintained and very clean with great shows and entertainment. Overall we were really impressed and I dare say our friends are also now hooked. Their main complaint was there was too much to do and too little timeAll of our expectations was met and the staff in general was very friendly and really tried very hard to please everyone.

Superior Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony

Cabin D2

Cabin was well maintained and "serviced" twice daily.

Carpets and furniture was in a very good condition.

Port Reviews

Sydney (Australia)

Great city with LOTS to do by yourself or in tours. Excellent public transport system.

Picton

We rented a car and went to a few wine farms with a lovely lunch at Rock Ferry wineries

Wellington

We have been to Wellington a few times and just went to the waterfront for lunch. A lovely city with lots to do within walking distance

Auckland

Just another harbour city.

Tauranga

Rented a car and drove to the volcanic regions close to Rotorua. A great day out. We spent some time in Tauranga as well. A walk around Mt Maunganui is well worth the effort and will take about an hour or so.

Napier

A lovely art deco city. We rented a taxi cab for an hour at $75 NZ dollars and that was money very well spent.
