The ship wasn’t the best we’ve been on but the food, service, free at sea package and entertainment was great. Cabin was small and didn’t have much storage space. Shower was lovely. Atrium was a bit drab and strangely laid out. Excursions were expensive. Enjoyed Auckland, Tauranga beach was a short walk from the ship. Spectacular scenery and waterfalls of the Sounds. Disappointed we couldn’t visit Tasmania and Eden due to adverse weather. Especially as we had arranged to meet friends who live in Tasmania. Melbourne was disappointing. Sydney was such a vibrant city with so much to see and do.

I loved all the ports of call in Japan, as well as Ha Long Bay, Bali, Australia and New Zealand. The cruise was very relaxed, the buffet was very good with food available at most times of day. I felt wearing baseball hats & sports wear in the restaurants for an evening meal was a bit too casual. The live party bands were excellent to dance to & the morning stretch class instructor very good too.

Very good itinerary. Disappointed that there were no pre port lectures, everything was via the stateroom TV. This information was good but would have been really helpful to have had prior to sailing.
Excursions were very expensive.
First cruise I have been on where there was no library.
Speciality Dining was very good. Rarely used the buffet. Dining room, quality of food varied.
Staff excellent
Never a problem with the lifts
Getting on / off the ship was smooth
Not enough seating in the atrium
Entertainment wasn’t great - the ‘balloon guy’ was better suited to a children’s party!
Apart from quizzes- little activities offered.
