Before my wife and I went on this cruise, our first with Princess, I got some useful info from the CruiseCritic reviews posted by past passengers on this NZ cruise - Traveller Loodie Jan 2010,Moritz Lady Jan 10 , tezza 58 Feb 10 and ozcruisereview Nov 09, and most of that info is not repeated here.
We are relatively new to cruising - two recent previous cruises on P&O's Pacific Dawn ex Sydney to Noumea and ex Brisbane up the Queensland coast. Both very enjoyable.
The Destination
