I could not believe how calm the Tasman Sea was, traveling in both directions. Sea conditions are always a lottery when on a cruise. I loved it. Happy trails everybody.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Straight through all channels
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
No specialty restaurants visited. No dramas with the others though. Loved the nightly snacks at O'Sheehan's bar and grill. The chicken wings with Thai chilli sauce were just the best.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Too cold to sit by the pool. Even in port. Disappointing.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Sometimes attended the nightly shows twice. Every entertainer gave 100%. I was well entertained.
Children's Programs
I am 64. What kids?
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Everybody bent over backwards to please you. Bar staff would remember your beverage of choice as soon as you approached. The cabin steward was super efficient (day and night). Absolutely all staff said hello and smiled when you passed by.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Easy to find your way around. Only took a few days. There was always a cleaning activity, no matter what time of the day or night.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
No problem with the comfort. Bed was great. Slept like a log. Adequate size for me. Bathroom was a squeeze. Toilet worked if you had no legs. Sat on the balcony heaps of times.
Ship tip
Eat your meals at O'Sheehan's bar and grill. So much better than the buffet.
