Additional details
This ship was recommended by our travel agent as being most suitable for us as we are pensioners and into our upper 70's .The ship is very clean, well run and efficient, all the crew are delightful and very helpful at all times. Our cabin was comfortable and in good condition and we were very well looked after by Marychristi, our cabin steward. However, we found we were a long walk from an affordable cup of tea from from our cabin on Deck 6 to the Ocean View Restaurant on Deck 14. The staff in the restaurants were efficient and attentive, especially Mathew and Happy in the Eperney? restaurant on Deck 4.
The food in these restaurants was always excellent with interesting variations and well serviced by the many waiters. We enjoyed the very good shows put on in the comfortable theatre and the many interesting talks given throughout the voyage.
Our shore excursions were well organised and we thoutoughly enjoyed our many new experiences onshore and viewing from our cabin verandah, which is what we really wanted to see. But it was very unfortunate that our visit in Milford sound had to be cancelled.
Cabin Review
Deluxe Veranda 2B
Our cabin was everything we could expect with surprisingly imaginative storage spaces. The veranda made it very worthwhile as we often chose to sit and read there (avoiding the noise on the various decks). The best asset in our cabin was Marychristi who looked after the cabin and us. She was always to be found near at hand and always happy to help us when we needed some guidance. She is 5-star.
