Beginning of December late spring on NZ South Island, still cold, windy rainy. NCL Shore excursions were poorly organized. Meeting in Stardust Theater was terrible. Lost too much time waiting before could leave ship. Don't book NCL shore excursions!

Well maintained midsize ship. Captain and crew were great.
Had to take tender boat from ship to shore, 25 minutes each way. NCL shore excursions all met in Stardust Theater, took up too much time waiting in theater.
