Returned from a 11 night New Zealand Cruise, very relaxing. Fist time on RC.Traveled as a couple.

Embarkation was slow I thought took around 1.1/2 hours to board ship. Cabin was spacious and clean and our room attendant was excellent - Maritas she is a jem and nothing was too much trouble. Wardrobe is pretty spacious with shelving, although not enough coat hangers, but easily provided when we asked for extras. Bathroom you typical cabin bathroom. After walking the corridors of other levels there were sewerage problems, flooding etc where there were fan blowers trying to dry out the carpet etc in the corridors.

Windjammers I did not like it was a pigs fest, double dipping and people using their fingers, pushing and shoving to get their food etc; hard to secure a table at times. MDR is available for breakfast lunch and dinner, go there much more civilised. Lunch in the MDR you will sit with fellow travelers, it was a great way to get to know other people. Dinner in the MDR was a hit and a miss at times, drink service was a bit slow at times. Our waiter was good and had a drink waiting for us every night. Read more
