The fiordland national park although it was included in the itinerary it was cut short by the captain. The lame excuse was - the sea is too rough. Therefore we missed seeing both the Dusky and Doubtful sounds. I have visited in the past these two breathtaking sounds with a similar sized ship with much rougher seas and larger swells. Anyway, anyone knows that entering the sounds the sea gets way much calmer.
By cutting too short the time we had to spend in the fiordland national park we also missed seeing the beautiful Dunedin Bay since the ship arrived too early when it was still very dark. I have to add that the scenery of Dunedin Bay is much more beautiful in the morning when the white mist floats just about the sea like a thin sateen veil.
The food also was not as nice as expected. The presentation was ok but the taste was rather ordinary.
Cabin is nice and spacious. One of the TV had quite a few dead pixels.
I love Sydney. One of the most beautiful cities I ever visited.
Fantastic excursion. Highly recommend.
I just love Auckland. It’s an amazing city.
A very beautiful city.
