First cruise. We loved cruising. Just maybe a smaller ship and less people next time. Abit overwhelmed by the size and where to go. Not a lot of help offered to us.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
We had club class and priority boarding but we did not get on any faster than any one else. We were on ship in about 30 minutes.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining

Buffet was ordinary. Club class was lovely but needed a few ordinary meals in their daily menu. Very fine dining.

Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Most staff were very polite and courteous always a smile. Just a couple of male bar staff were a bit grumpy.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
No complaints.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Mini suite was very comfortable for a couple. Clean, although thought bed linen would be changed more than once in 2 week cruise.
Ship tip
First timers are not really told anything. Many tips. Join a fb group etc and ask plenty of questions
Tender Port. Tender was fine, was nervous but all good. Sat up top. Didnt spend anytime in Akaroa, had friends meet us and take us for the day around christchurch and surrounds. Scenery as usual outstanding
