We both wanted to cruise the NZ fjords, so chose this cruise . Weather impacted so we missed one NZ port and Melbourne too, so that was disappointing, but they cannot control the weather...

Cabin was nice, clean and roomy. Food was ok - not the best we have had..but not the worst either....seemed slightly aimed at the Amercian market. There were alot of Americans on this cruise. Entertainment was good. The onboard shows were good, and some of the vistor acts were great. Wasnt fussed on the Robbie WIlliams act, or the Adele - not my kind of music but did enjoy very much The Forever everly tribute. Ship was clean and staff were very helpful. We didnt do the arranged port excursions, but overall enjoyed the cruise. Embarkation and disembarkation were fine. The scenery through the fjords was magnificent..well worth a visit...the public rooms were nice and we enjoyed using the pool.
