Review summary

It was one of the most amazing cruises I’ve been on. I’ve been on the allure of the seas and this was a lot more fun. There are no words to really say how amazing this cruise was! I loved it and will be back again!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was great! Never had a problem with it and always looked forward to seeing what was on the menu every night for dining room. Windjammer as always was great!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
I swam in the pools and spa a lot and really enjoyed the Solarium as there were no kids. Me and my friends also enjoyed the steam room and sauna on board and pool tables :) I also sang at karaoke and thought that was awesome! I’m a singer but never really sing in front of crowds so doing that and getting such a good reaction was amazing! The nightclub was also amazing on deck 13! I absolutely loved going up there and partying the night away with friends

Entertainment

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Really great! Especially in the main dining room Mike and Michael were always filling up our drinks and always getting us extra food when needed. Me and my partner also did Izumi and loved the waiter John. He was fantastic! Left him a $10 tip at the end of the night for being so nice and helpful

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
They were great! Honestly don’t have a bad word to say about the ship or anything regarding cleanliness. Our room was always spotless and well cleaned.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was great! We had a balcony and loved going out there and looking out and seeing the sights. The size and comfort was great! We loved watching forensic files every night when we would come back with pizza after a night out. It was always comfy and we loved the room size

Ship tip

Definitely try out the night club! Such a fun time and really lets you hang your hair down and not worry about a thing! The bar staff were amazing such as Fransisco, Myra and the other guy was great but I can’t remember his name.

Ports of call

Sydney, Australia

Got on at Sydney

Cruise Milford Sound

It was beautiful! So cold but so worth it with the photos we got. If you are seeing Milford sound I recommend going to the helipad as you see everything

Port Chalmers (Dunedin), New Zealand

5 out of 5
Loved Dunedin! We saw Larnach castle and the gardens! It was amazing and I would definitely go back! Not enough time for everything but we walked around the streets and saw different shops and bought a few things

Akaroa, New Zealand Did not visit port

The wind was too strong and we couldn’t stop off. Such a shame because we were suppose to do the jet boat

Auckland, New Zealand

5 out of 5
Auckland was amazing! My partner did the bungy off the bridge and loved it! I got to observe and see him jump off. The only thing I did all day as his bungy was at 1.30 but totally worth it!

Bay Of Islands, New Zealand

5 out of 5
Was very cute! They had little markets there when we got off in town and I thought it was an awesome idea! Apparently they do it every time a ship docks there. We went on a tour around the see the honey farm and waterfalls ect. Loved it so much!!

Disembarkation
