Ship: Majestic Princess / Destination: South Pacific

The cruise was great sailing. The Princess theatre needs more seating reserved for people with disabilities.

Ship changing operational day to day basis by lorayship65

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

Would recommend anyone who has never visited NZ it will allow you to see what you would do on land as the ship does not stay long in port for you to explore but all cruise lines do this We were a small group of 4 people

Auckland to Sydney cruise was fantastic!!! by JerryCruiser

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

We flew to Sydney first for 5 days, then flew to Auckland to catch the cruise. We went with 2 friends from our hometown. Definitely get the NCL app for onboard messaging and off ship phone calls. Quality of calls was excellent. Go to the shows. They were spectacular.

Prototypical Viking Cruise to New Zealand & Australia by ricepady1

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

Biggest omission on this cruise is MILFORD SOUND. I hoped against hope that we were really going there but we did not. I would recommend this trip but if you want more ports in New Zealand or longer in ports, I would recommend you don't pick a cruise that adds extra days in Auckland or Sydney unless it's more than 2 weeks.

Bed Bugs! by wendels

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Golden Princess / Destination: South Pacific

Our first cruise was marred midway by some nasty bed bug bites! After about 3 days, we started waking up with big itchy bites, but thought they might have been mosquito bites. They inspected the room after my first complaint but said it was a "negative" finding. After waking up bitten even worse, we asked them to check again, but same "negative" finding. The evidence was all over my body, but that didn't seem to matter. In the end we looked ourselves by just searching the bed covers and found and trapped one in a glass. They finally moved us, but not before letting us know we were "lucky" to get a new room because someone had been medically evacuated.... I understand that bed bugs happen, it was just the way we were treated that was disappointing. We met with the Customer service manager in the end and some on board credit was applied, but it didn't really make up for the pain and discomfort from my bites that we're were hot, itchy and weepy. I just hope they fade ok and don't scar from the scratching. Overall, I did enjoy the facilities and days at sea, the port call days were good but rushed!
