Great cruise except weather ruined visit to Auckland and bay of islands ship had to re route to avoid cyclone. Wanted a cruise with an average age group of about 50ish however the average age on this ship would be in the 70s. Can’t see why there would be a night club or basketball ball court when so many elderly cruise with this company. Was told the ship is very similar to celebrity ships. Afraid not even close. Still an enjoyable cruise but the pace was a bit too slow for me.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Great embarkation very quick
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Food in all the restaurants was very good although there could have been a larger selection of vegetables at the buffet. Usually only one or two veges to choose from
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
The lido pool could do with updating and felt more like an extension of the lido dinning area with a pool in it
Entertainment
3 out of 5
Entertainment in the main theater was average. The noordam singers and dancers although talented felt more like watching an American high school glee club. B B KINGS BLUES CLUB was first class entertainment.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Staff were excellent very helpful and friendly
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Although the ship was very clean and nice it is definitely in need of a refit and update definitely starting to show it’s age
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Cabin was clean and Roomy with plenty of storage can’t see the Spence in the small baths in the bathrooms. Would be better to just have a shower cubicle easier for elderly to get in and out of.
