Background Information:
We are a couple in our late 40 early 50's from New Zealand. This is our second Christmas New Year Cruise in succession! I have Muscular Dystrophy and mobilise using a walker most of the time, but outside the home, I use a portable powerchair called a Puzzle Chair. This was our 3rd Cruise as a couple and my fifth.
The Christmas/New Year Cruise on the Century is for 13 nights departing Sydney, visiting Melbourne, Burnie (Tasmania), across the Tasman Sea to Milford Sound, then onto Dunedin, Akaroa (as ships cannot get into Lyttelton due to the earthquakes in Christchurch), Wellington, Napier, Tauranga, Bay of Islands and finally home to Auckland.
Stateroom -- Deck 5 -- Plaza, Ocean View Accessible 5061
The stateroom was perfect with plenty of storage space -- cupboards and drawers .More than ample room to cater for my power chair and walker. There were only two power points -- one American 110v and one European 220v, and this caused a bit of an issue for us as our American converter plus was a double adaptor which meant we could not use our European adaptor at the same time. We worked around this though. Our cabin attendants were Martino and Alvin. The area was generally very quiet and the only disturbance we had was silly girls at 3am on New Years Eve/New Years day. We were handy to two sets of lifts which proved very useful esspecially as most of the port access was from the Grand Plaza on our level.
