Statendam~n.z. & Australia In Dec.

[KAYEF]

Every time I return from a cruise (just back!!) I want to find another.
Who's been on this cruise? Best things about it? Any not so good things about it?
We've thought about going here.............not fond of the long flight, but want to go................
Found a "good deal" for December.............starts in Sydney and ends in Auckland..............
Know we will love the ship (we love Veendam and HAL)
Advice????????
Encouragement????????
Thanks for your help...................:o

Being from "down under" I think you will love the cruise as it goes to so many different and interesting ports. If you can fly in for a few days and explore Sydney and get over jetlag, that would be fantastic. Also at the end of the cruise, try and spend a couple of extra days in Auckland.

You will only touch the surface of both N.Z and our country but it will give you a taste and hopefully you will want to return. Remember that Australia is nearly as big as the U.S. so there is a lot to see.

If you are really interested why not go to the Ports Board - Australia and New Zealand and read some of the postings there. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=-1&f=77
