In Sydney, for the size of the ship and the amount of passengers embarking, I was very impress with how quickly and smoothly the customs / security area was.
Being the newest ship in the Princess fleet, I was truly amazed with the overall impression of the ship. I originally booked an inside cabin on level 16, which I was happy with. Half way through the cruise, I was upgraded to an outside balcony cabin on level 8, I was very impressed by this.
The dining area were always very clean and the food was good with always a good selection.
Self walk about Auckland CBD. I lived in Auckland for many years, so was not too phased by seeing much.
Self walk about Wellington CBD.
Booked a return bus via the cruise line for a self-guided walk about Christchurch.
Olveston House was a great place to visit. Lovely historical home.
