We have only ever traveled on P&O ships previously so thought we would try out this new ship on its 1st visit to AU and were not dissapointed. We saw some negative reviews of Ovation of the Seas prior to leaving and got a bit worried but found that most of what we had read was incorrect or maybe rectified prior to our cruise.
We have visited main cities in NZ before for work and holidays by air but thought we would see more of it as it is a beautiful Country and cruising is a way to do that without flying, hiring cars and booking hotels.
Embarkation & Disembarkation
Cabin was great, very clean, plenty of cupboard space, separate toilet to bathroom. Bed was a bit hard but probably because it is a new ship. Cabin steward was excellent.
Just did shopping
Nice town for coffee and shopping, very clean town
