View from our port hole day 1.

This was our first cruise and we were not disappointed. The staff & the service they provide are amazing. Everything was so clean and our cabin was more spacious than I expected, great bed and very quiet (we were on deck 3 H cabin type)..

Meals great in the restaurants. We ate at Giovanis and chops grill. Weather was not perfect and it we had about a 4-5m swell for a few days but I was surprised how little the ship moved.

We did miss our Fiji stops due to weather but we were taken to Vanuatu instead.

Cabin Review

Oceanview Stateroom

Cabin H

Cabin was spacious, had lots of storage spots and kept fastidiously clean by our room attendant Shetty. Loved the towel art. The bed was very comfortable. My hubby wanted a different height pillow which was provided without problem.

We brought a US power adaptor with USB to use but the power point is close to the bench and ours was too large to plug in but we were given an adaptor to use for the trip and the TV had a usb port that could be used or charging phones etc when the TV was on.

Port Reviews

Lifou

Lovely island that you are tendered to. Its easy to back to the ship for lunch if you want. We paid to go to the cave $10ea and the better snorkling beach $15ea. We were happy with both those areas and while I wouldn't be fussed not to di the cave next time I would definitely pay againvto use the snorkel beach. The fish were so amazing and the water was more protected.
