BIGGER IS NOT BETTER.
We went on this cruise as a family Christmas holiday, we had been on several other cruises and was sucked in by the advertising of kids clubs, bumper cars, special kids pool, movie characters and events.
Embankment and Dismemberment were fast and smooth best I've seen.
Cabin Review
Room Was Okay. No Iron, Hair Dryer would take 3 days to dry hair.
Bath room was good. More than enough storage. Balcony a good size Obstructed view was the lifeboat level with balustrade, We didn't mine this you can see over.
Good block out curtains.
We were happy with room.
Port Reviews
Hobart
We walked around the town. We were happy to do this. the Area around the port was historical and pretty. The locals put on a market at the port.
Wellington
We wandered the city. Much like Sydney.
Picton
Great town, We booked our own dolphin swim/ sight seeing tour. Was great but didn't find any dolphin's to swim with.
The town had great shops and the most quant kids train ride 20cents a ride and hire a model sail boat to sail on paddle pool 20cents and park play area.
Great town for all ages.
No excursion needed.
Tauranga
Again Great Town no excursion needed.
Great shops. You can choose Bay side or beach side for a swim. All in walking distance from boat.
We swam at the beach and collected shell which left behind as a picture on the sand.
Auckland
This is a tender port. this wastes a lot of time.
If you want to do a shore excursion this is where id do one as the shops are same as Sydney.
