Being our first ever cruise, I had no idea HOW I would occupy 9 days - There was happily no problem however, as the provision of a good variety of entertainment was excellent, along with exceptional service from Alexander Gahol (housekeeping for our room number 6630) and our waiter for table 31 in the Romeo & Juliet restaurant, 'Elford'; ALL staff aboard were very pleasant, but these 2 guys did exceptionally well with their friendliness and hospitality!
Our stateroom was much larger than I’d anticipated, and left nothing to be desired (except the LONG walk to and from the nearest elevator, given that we were right at the stern)
My only minor complaints are:

Very spacious - on a par with or bigger than some of the 'studio' rooms we've had at motels in various parts of the world
Living in Brisbane, it was VERY handy to be able to board in our home city, rather than fly to Sydney first
AWESOME place, beach and view
Harrassed by many dozens of men to take their car to the city (5 minutes away) for $5
It was overwhelming!!
We finally escaped and took one of the 'water taxis' (also AU$5); very pleasant trip :)
Having been there before, I knew that Vila wasn't the best town I've been to
(Vanuatu IS a lovely place if you have time to explore the island however, so do not judge the whole island by the town)
GORGEOUS place!!
