Wonderful NZ cruise - fabulous crew by cheryljoyp

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Celebrity Solstice / Destination: South Pacific - Australia

Highly recommend sailing with Celebrity if you want the big ship experience without feeling crowded. Also there are usually not many children on board (except probably the school holidays) less than 20 on our cruise.

Beautiful nz by greglj

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Noordam / Destination: South Pacific - Australia

Great cruise except weather ruined visit to Auckland and bay of islands ship had to re route to avoid cyclone. Wanted a cruise with an average age group of about 50ish however the average age on this ship would be in the 70s. Can’t see why there would be a night club or basketball ball court when so many elderly cruise with this company. Was told the ship is very similar to celebrity ships. Afraid not even close. Still an enjoyable cruise but the pace was a bit too slow for me.

New Zealand in March by KittieC

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Noordam / Destination: South Pacific - Australia

Overall, It was very relaxing and well organised. Holland America has an air of reliability and we met many passengers who had sailed with them multiple times. We missed two ports and almost missed a third because of storms and it was rainy several days. March is probably not the best time to visit NZ. The day at Milford, Doubtful and Dusky sound was beautiful. We didn’t get much opportunity to use our balcony because of the weather, so not certain it was worth having it. Taking everything into consideration, the cruise was very good value.

Fantastic by TheBloms

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Explorer of the Seas / Destination: South Pacific - Australia

My one criticism is that i bought a ring on board at the Regalia Fine Jewellery and the sales pitch i got at the time was false. I have been trying to contact the Cruise Services by phone and i get a voice message everytime. Nobody takes calls and i have called within the hours stipulated 7 times.

Best Cruise Ever! by Tracey1465

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Sea Princess / Destination: South Pacific - Australia

This cruise is the best I have been on to date. To be honest, I could have flown home after Auckland, as I found 14 days just a little too long for my sensibilities, but the NZ part of the cruise was fantastic! Sea days were made fun by the awesome staff, a special shout out to John Loney Jr, the Cruise Director. A very special man, who makes everyone feel good just by being around him. If you get the chance to do a NZ cruise, grab it with both hands. I was very impressed with both the destination and the cruise line.
