The cruise itinerary was possibly the worst I have been on. (Seventh to this area). Due to the Corona virus the island of Mare was taken off the agenda. I would much prefer visits to the smaller islands where beaches and the availability to swim in the clear waters. However knew what to expect when I booked the cruise. Rain and bad weather caused the cancellation of tours on Noumea, but that is something the cruise line has no control over. The ship itself is showing its age and is in need of refurbishment which will happen later this year when P & O take over ownership. Entertainment was of the normal high standard, but the timing of some events clashed slightly and did not allow for shows and dinner. Most staff were of trhe normal high standard and were very helpful. All in all a pleasant cruise but in then end probably too many sea days.
