That was a good idea. Bon Voyage. I'm destination driven and liked the one way cruise from Auckland to Melbourne. I'm overdue for another visit to both places, so can spend some time at each before and after the cruise. I've been to all the ports of call bar one, so I won't be frustrated trying to get off a big ship. Yes, I agree it will be an interesting experience. I'm afraid it might prove to be like flying business class, hard to go back. This will be my first new ship.
