Enjoyable, though Expensive by vrob

Sail date: Feb 29, 2020 / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Paul Gauguin / Destination: South Pacific - Tahiti

Paul Gauguin is upscale but lesser in quality than Regent, Silver Seas, Crystal and other upper end cruise lines. The ship really is too small and too old. It is a great way to visit some of the outlying Tahitian islands, but is grossly overpriced. Would not recommend this cruise unless one could book a balcony cabin for about 1/3 less (i..e., $3-4k/person). It simply isn't worth more.

Trip of a Lifetime with high marks all around by Itrvlfar

Sail date: Feb 21, 2020 / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Seabourn Encore / Destination: South Pacific - Australia

We loved everything about this cruise and Seabourn Encore is now at the top of our favorite cruise ship list. The crew onboard was fantastic we met a lot of great travelers onboard some of which have become great friends. We only wished that we had more time in a couple of ports, but other than that, everything was exceptional. The coronavirus was just starting to spread to the US and Europe while we were on the cruise and we were hoping at the end of our cruise we would be quarantined on board as we weren't ready to get off the ship even after 16 days onboard. This was the longest cruise we have done and thought it might too long for us, but because there was so much to do in the ports and the onboard/at sea days were so fun (thanks to the new friends we made), we could have easily stayed on for another 7-14 days. Sadly they made us get off the ship! The memories made on this vacation are ones that I will truly cherish. The new friends made, the stories shared and the overall experience of this trip is beyond words. We were so glad that we opted to cruise on a smaller ship like Encore as the personalized service and more intimate experience was exactly what we had hoped for with this vacation. This was truly a trip of a lifetime for us and I highly recommend to anyone that will stand still long enough to hear about it. My husband and I both agreed that we could easily live in New Zealand or Australia and it would be hard to decide between the two given the opportunity.

Was not what I expected by cherwood

Sail date: Feb 17, 2020 / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Regatta / Destination: South Pacific

Embarkation took way to long, what takes so long to get rooms ready waiting to 3:pm is just not right. You ask how many cruises I have been on well that was #55.

Spectacular New Zealand Cruise. by grdcruiser4632

Sail date: Feb 17, 2020 / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Celebrity Solstice / Destination: South Pacific - Australia

Our overall experience was fantastic. The attendants were all superior, rooms were clean and public areas were also. The ship is going into the renovation and should update some of the older looking areas of the ship. We really enjoyed the ports of call and the tendering operations were well run. We our loyal Celebrity customers and this cruise just added to our continued loyalty. We have already signed up for our next cruise in 2021.

Great itinerary! Far superior than the Norwegian Pearl and Star. by ArmenMakasjian

Sail date: Feb 14, 2020 / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Jewel / Destination: South Pacific - Australia

It want to specifically thank Chris Festerman, our cruise rep., for giving us great advice on this specific cruise, especially on the warning of rough waters when crossing the Tasman sea. Also, his recommendation on taking the Jewel surely paid off. The cruise was great!
