Sail Date: Dec 2016
Cabin: Junior Suite with Balcony

Well publicised as a new large Australian based Cruise Ship.

We were excited to see what such a huge ship with so many attractions on board was like.

I was however a little hesitant as to how the crew could manage over 4,000 passengers efficiently.

Cabin Review

Junior Suite with Balcony

Cabin JS

The cabin was great, but the only problem was the furniture creaked at night and I had to wear ear plugs to get a good night sleep. I assume the builders did not anticipate that ships at sea rock and roll.

Port Reviews

Dunedin

Dunedin is a lovely town and the residents so friendly and welcoming

Dunedin

Lovely town

Wellington

We only had time to do the Cable Car trip when the heavy rain came in. We could not visit the many other attractions of Wellington. Had to be back on ship by 6pm after it docking at 1pm. Why so late in the day. More than an hour to even get off the ship with only one gangway open.

Napier

Again, a very lovely city with friendly welcoming people.
