Review summary

We were on a 12 day cruise from Australia to New Zealand. The ports were amazing and there were quite a few excursions to choose from. In certain locations I don’t recommend an excursion: Sydney, Melbourne & Auckland. I do recommend taking advantage of seeing the wildlife.

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

We dined at the buffet and dining room. The servers were great but the kitchen staff was slow. I believe the quality of food could have been better but overall it was still good.

We went to Christ Church on our own and yes the roads are Windy. I think what made this just an OK excursion was the fact that we had to tinder to Akaroa. The weather turned and there weren’t a lot of tenders to get us back and we had to wait in line. This was no one’s fault.
