Additional details

Sail Date: Nov 2016
Cabin: Mini-Suite with Balcony

We chose this ship for the Itinerary as we hadnt been to New Zealand for a long time, especially the South Island.

Boarding was a breeze due to our Platinum status gained from sailing with P and O UK and Aus. We were on in about 10 minutes.

The ship is very nice with great and numerous entertaining areas and bars. We particularly liked Crooners, Wheelhouse Bar, Club Fusion and Explorers and drinks and canapes in the Skywalkers bar for Elite members from 5-7pm.

Cabin Review

Mini-Suite with Balcony

Cabin ME

Minisuite Port side just aft of aft elevators and stairs.

These cabins have no top over the balconys so you are there for everyone else to see if out on your balcony.

Great cabin attendant, thank you Newton, who looked after us extremely well

Toilet constant flushing and smells everyday means they have problems on this floor with their system.
