Chose cruise because of interesting ports. Embarkation easy. cabin 9126very good.Only problem was shower taps a bit difficult to operate no big deal though. Dining room meals were good with a nice variety. The Pantry was fine if you wanted a bigger serve you only had to ask.MUSIC was excellent Lazy Leis alter ego and jitensha were great particularly. on the last night when they all combined for agreat show on the top deck. the tender process was aproblem.Fortunately there wasnt a lot to do ashore on the islands so we waited until they said you no longer needed a number and would go ashore still had at least 2 hours to have alook around no worries.loved Kitrava island the quinticential tropical island the people were really nice. Alotua looked fairly scruffy from the ship.Took a tour from outside the wharf precint for agood price to outlying village and war relics etc good. Rabaul sama same but different. again took local tour to markets volcano etc good again.Kiriwina simlar to kitava maybe 2or3 generations ahead of K itava.Conflict Island very nice but no locals. it is owned by australian who has made it acruise destination. Have to compliment the captain for his d aily briefings most informative.likewise the talks on png history and culture .Getting off no worries
