Review summary

This cruise was a "bucket list" adventure. It did not disappoint. New Zealand was so much more than I had hoped for when I was planning this trip. Every port had something of interest that was a bit different from the others. The ship itself is a wonder. All I can say is that I would do it all again in a heartbeat and not regret the repeat.

Cabin / Stateroom

Cleanliness was fine as was the size. I only sleep in the cabin, There was a noise problem being so close to the theater. In the future I would pick a mid-ship cabin.
