Family first time cruisers, was a bit overwhelming to begin with with the boat at max capacity and all were excited. Settled in well with a good mix of age groups, food in windjammers was great with variety each day, i found the dining room food a little bland and generic. Izumi was amazing the chef's signature sushi rolls to die for! We had deluxe beverage packages which were definitely worth it with bar staff service top quality spirits such a grey goose vodka and the limit for beverages was $14 USD which meant you could have any beverage including the top cocktails. Noumea was a sham, shops are closed on Sundays so you have to pay for a tour or return to the boat (nothing open to self guide around the city) I'm sure this is done on purpose purely to promote tourism. Mystery Island and Isle of Pines were magnificent and definitely worth it, the aqua water and snorkelling is not to be missed! We packed a couple of snorkel sets and did our own thing. Overall excellent cruise - now to get back down to precruise weight :)
