I was on a 12 night cruise from New Zealand via Tasmania finishing up at Sydney Australia.
The cruise was to include New Zealand North Island, New Zealand South Island, Tasmania, Melbourne and Sydney Australia.
Embarkation in Auckland was bad. Their boarding ramp broke and this added a few hours to the ordeal. Not a great start.
This room was in appalling condition, the bed sheets had holes in them. There was mildew in the shower. There were wooden wedges jammed in the wall panelling to stop creaking and groaning, and more alarmingly, knocking noises which the room constantly suffered from.
Great day out in Wellington. Took a taxi up Mount Victoria - lovely view of the bay and Wellington. Visited the Te Papa Tongarewa museum which was awesome
Didn't do any excursions so cannot comment on those. The town itself was relatively small
