I’m glad you enjoyed it, we missed Fiordland and Gisborne last year. Keeping everything crossed for this one.

I was on same cruise and just read your review. ship was never scheduled for Napier. we saw a Princess map of the ports which included Napier. but schedule was different. we contacted Princess about it and they said sometimes they just use a general map and it may not be specific to the cruise. lame excuse really but we weren't disappointed as we learnt early on, no Napier. glad you also enjoyed the cruise.
