Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Pretty nice . Missed not having a bath . Power points are US ports . There were no converters on ship to sell 🥴... 98% of the cruise were Aussies . These adaptors should be provided free in your room . I missed not having a dressing gown . Bed was comfy

Ship tip

Take adaptor / dressing gown / champagne stopper / book solarium and use all the facilities for the day . Buy your own roaming data

Very Pretty ... but watch out for only 4 tenders in use . People who had paid excursions from ship got to go early . Others had to wait for hours to get ashore

Get to Russell . Really pretty . We did some wine tasting and ate at a restaurant called Sage which had the best wines locally bottled and amazing views over the Bay . We organised this ourselves. We were picked up and dropped back to the ship by the restaurant for $5 !!
