The Sun Princess was a lovely ship to sail on. Although sailing out of Milford Sound was very rough she handled it beautifully. Our cabin was great & staff very helpful & friendly Would go on this ship again

Would loved to have been here but cancelled due to bad weather & it was one of the reasons I wanted to cruise New Zealand I do feel when ships have to miss ports( I do understand they are looking after our safety) that they should take us to another port instead

Loved this little place. We took an excursion from Akaroa to Christchurch through very steep hills. Had a great day in Christchurch itself & the containers made into shops were quite fascinating
