Ovation of the Seas
Sail date: December 15, 2016
Not much to do but Hobbiton was great. Beautiful scenery inland.
Go to the Museum. It was a pretty cool one!
The city is nothing special. It's pretty bumy. Not clean ect.
It was cold, make sure you bring warm clothes. Go to Mures restaurant near where the bot docks. Great fish & chips there.
Port Chalmers (Dunedin), New Zealand
This was cancelled. We cant control the weather but it was disappointing.
Avoid the Eco aquarium. It was terrible. Go to the Edwin Fox, it was interesting. Not much to do here either. Where the boat was beautiful.

If you are prone to motion/sea sickness make sure you have medication try to help. The journey to Hobart & New Zealand was not easy and smooth sailing. If you like watching TV bring your laptop with movies as they play the same episode of about 5 or 6 shows over and over again.
I was so excited for my first cruise. But as soon as we set sail I felt sick (this isn't their fault) Sailing down to Hobart then off to NZ was pretty rocky. It was like being drunk all the time. The weather was pretty bad, high winds and raining daily. A lot of shows were cancelled. Not much options for shopping unless your like high end boutique shopping. They had the little markets stalls almost daily but it was the almost the same stuff daily. If you love a good cup of coffee it is hard to find on this boat. Too many people with not enough activities or things to do. The food in the Windjammer was boring. Mostly the same stuff daily. They need to have an extra staff member for the dessert section. I felt sorry for whoever got stuck there as they were constantly stuck with about 10 people waiting for food. The beds & pillows are hard. The room service is terrible! Its a very small menu and the food is bad. On a Billion $ new ship I don't think it's up to standard. The bionic bar was average. I think it should of been somewhere different. More off to the side, not in the middle of a walkway. Most restaurants were booked out. As were excursions. So plan well ahead! The wifi was terrible. For the price paid just for the room i don't think it was worth it. The wifi should have been included. Even if it was just basic wifi.
