Review summary

Beautiful ports of call, unfortunately we have to skip Dunedin. We are lucky that so far no passenger declared to be infected by covid 19, and we are the last group that is allowed to make call to New Zealand ports

Thanks for mentioning the virtual balcony, always wondered if it was a good upgrade.
