Great B2B Trip on Solstice in New Zealand and Australia

Additional details
We had a wonderful time sailing from NZ to Sydney and then on to the Queensland and the Great Barrier Reef. A few were doing 5 segments disembarking in Seattle. The staff and ship were impeccable. Here are our observations:
- The ship is in excellent material condition. If one were looking for rust or minor imperfections, you could find them. I am sure there will be rust appearing after numerous sea days between Sydney and Ensenada.
- Cruise Director Ian Cresswell is excellent and as an Aussie a perfect fit for Solstice's down-under cruises. His Aussie Slang 101 presentation was great, but the Aussies present didn't know why it had to be taught.
Cabin Review
AquaClass 2
Fairly quiet cabin under cabins on deck 12. About six cabins aft of the elevator area. Steward closet is across from 1632 and we occasionally heard some noise about 6AM. Although you could faintly hear entertainers from deck 3 in the hallway, you could not hear them in the room. Access through the balcony partition to 1628 is easy, but access through the partition to 1632 is very restricted by the strut going up to deck 14. We enjoyed the large overhang as it kept the rain and sun off our veranda. Directly above the gap between lifeboats 15 and 17.
