Great time despite the lack of Ports

With the Corona Virus spreading rapidly, we were lucky to be able to cruise at all and were aware that things may change so we set out to enjoy our anniversary holiday with a positive frame of mind. We had an enjoyable day in Noumea and 2 days on Mystery Island and quite a few sea days. We have been well compensated for the lack of ports. We were well fed, accommodated, and entertained . We did not find it too crowded at all considering the amount of people on board.

Having not cruised with RC before, we were happy with all the facilities provided and the extras that were added recently.

Some things are out of the cruise ships control and we don't know what is going on behind the scenes

This world wide problem is affecting everything so make allowances and go with the flow at the moment!!

Our only gripe was smoking on board. The areas allocated for smoking were too big and intrusive on other passengers especially the children.. Children are inhaling smoke around one side of the pool area.One whole outside deck was for smoking and it would blow inside and down through the stairwell and passages.

Nice size cabin with 2 lounges and a desk. Good views out to the promenade. Could be a bit noisy at night when a couple of things went on until 11pm in the prom. The fridge in the room needed renewing as door shelves were broken. Good having a kettle in the room. Bathrooms are small but OK for us. Lots of storage in room and under bed. The bed was huge and really comfortable.
