Review summary

Marvellous oldish ship. All staff were very friendly and happy to help. Balcony room was great. At Kiriwina island, some fool of a passenger almost started WWIII by trying to bargain down a piece of local handicraft by 2 cents. Some locals arrived with spears, causing the captain to call an immediate evacuation of the port. Great ports of call. Very good time on beautiful South Pacific islands.

You had me confused for a minute. Then I realized you were on that itinerary last September! Lol. Not from the Alaska itinerary.
