Review summary

It was very good but the weather wasn't great.  We didn't get to 2 ports which was disappointing but you can't do much about the weather.  The staff where all very friendly and helpful.  The food was very good and plenty to choose from.

I was on the same cruise, it was very disappointing, the two ports we missed were Akaroa & Gisborne which were the ones we wanted to go to the most. I know they can't control the weather, it's just one of those things. Princess can't take any chances with safety & it was too rough to board tenders! It was that rotten cyclone Debbie.! 💨🌪🌫🌬 🌨 Princess refunded our excursions straight away. Staff & service were terrific, food was average. Sadly, not the best cruise I've been on.

You can see when they went by touching their name, and when it shows " cruises ", touch that it will give their history... they went in March
