The itinerary was wonderful from Sydney around New Zealand. The weather was perfect which added to our pleasure. Highly recommend this itinerary.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Sydney Port is very efficient. We boarded at our scheduled time.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
We ate in the dining rooms, buffet but not the specialty restaurants, and the food was mediocre. There are many other options to purchase food which I found pricey.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Most of the activities are catered to the younger clientele.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
The shows were generally good. Pixels, a multimedia presentation including singers and dancers was very good.
Children's Programs
No children with us
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Our waiters and cabin staff were excellent. Everywhere we went throughout the ship, we were greeted with smiles and a friendly hello.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Beautiful ship, layout and design. This is the largest ship we have ever been on. Ship was kept immaculate.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Perfect size, lots of storage and kept clean.
Ship tip
Bring your own shampoo, conditioner and soap. They provide liquid soap in the shower and small soap packets.
Loved it. We took a Hop On Hop Off Bus tour of Auckland, went up in the Sky Tower, and Harbor Cruise to Devenport Village where there was lots to see and do.
Port Chalmers itself is very small with little to see but we took the bus to Dunedin and took a tour of the city. Our guide was excellent and stopped several times so we could take pictures.
We are on Ovation at end of month for 10 day trip in New Zealand. I am totally confused on how to pack as not sure what weather we will experience. Any suggestion
