Review summary

This cruise was perfect from start to finish. Safety drill was fun adding the love boat theme to it. Beautiful sailaway out of Sydney. Amazing food. Great shows just don't go long enough. Party band evolution is really good with a wider range of songs than other cruise ship party bands. Jumari is a very good singer too. Silver line is also a reasonable band on board too. Dj whitney is good. Lots of great movies to see onboard. Love the watercolour fantasy shows on deck 16. Game shows are quite good too. Hollywood is a great place to relax and take in all the scenery. Easy to get a water shuttle to get to the island and back to the ship with very little wait time. Australia day and hot Latin deck party were lots of fun. Ice carving, fruit & veg carving are good. Sadly no towel animals. Zumba is good a way to burn off your breakfast and have a bit of fun in the morning on sea days.

Ports of call

Suva, Fiji

5 out of 5

Suva is a scary place to visit and insist you to buy souvenirs you don't want. Just say no and keep walking. Take a tour to see the real parts of fiji. Great villages to see cultural performances, participate in the snake food, sample some local food. Pearl resort has a nice beach and great views out on the breakwater. Snorkeling is also possible at the breakwater. Clarity & reef system not good but some big fish can be seen at the end of the breakwater. The drive to get there is very picturesque

One of the best island i have been to. Snorkeling was great. Lots of fish and amazing coral formations on the other side of the island and the scenery is amazing

Looking back at my memories. I can highly recommend going out to one of the beautiful islands nearby. I had 2 great days at Signal island & amedee island on 2 different cruises

Lautoka, Fiji Islands

5 out of 5

Very picturesque port to visit. Scenery seen when arriving & at sailaway is magical. If you want to snorkel. You can save yourself a lot of money by going to bekana island for $50 and you choose when you want to return to your ship. A great little island to relax and for the price the snorkeling is quite good. Downside is they only offer 2 Indian dishes lunch for $30/35 if you are into that kind of food.

Port Vila, Efate, Vanuatu

Lots of local tour operators. Efate island is very beautiful. Love blue lagoon. Nice barbeque lunch at naiwe beach and a great place to get close to turtles. Rarru falls is very picturesque and love the water taxi ride on port vila harbour back to the ship.

Lifou Isle, New Caledonia

5 out of 5

Lifou is paradise. Great place to snorkel & relax. Hiring a bike for 2 hours for $20 to see hidden parts of the island is good value.

If you are lucky going under sydney harbour bridge is magical and the scenery in the harbour and leaving the heads is a moment you will always remember

Savusavu, Fiji

Simply beautiful. Fish visible soon as you get off the tender at the yacht club. Great place to go for scenic walks. Follow the foreshore & the road up the hill and take the 2nd dirt road at the top and follow that for great views
