Additional details
we wanted to see Australia and New Zealand and also have some cruise days.
We read a review The Noordam is a germ machine. It is true. My wife got a cold the firs day of the cruise and the last day. I got a flu right in the middle of the trip. I think that the Noordam tries to minimize this and warns folks to use the hand sanitizer, etc. But there were a number of ill guests.
The staff was very nice and helpful. Very friendly with a sincere desire to made our trip pleasant.
