Review summary

First time on travelling to the South Pacific, expectations were high, weather was not the best and we thought we had picked our sailing for the best time of year. All the Islands had lovey people but found some Islands very expensive for the Aussie $, inconsistant exchange rate and shopping in Noumea was very annoying, but they did make up for it with their excursions.

Ship tip

We usually travel on the Radiance class and only the first cruise on Voyager class, but, have booked again and feel will be able to give a better opinion after second cruise, We did enjoy the Ship though.
