Resilient Lady 11 day cruise from Auckland to Melbourne departed 12/1/24.

[MMDown Under]

It is hard for me to believe I have been on this ship for only three days as it feels much longer.  The ship is currently cruising to Picton Tuesday 11am to 8 pm.

wednesday Wellington 8-5pm

 

i am still finding my way around this big ship, but I love so much about it.

 

Briefly -

it is a happy ship

its people are its greatest asset

Food is superb, so much variety and choice

For me today -

3.15 am. Two slices toasted multigrain bread with marmalade and vegemite Dillmah tea and lemon from Diner and Dash

breakfast Thai curry noodles

late lunch after tour

sushi in bento box

fresh made salad

Hot chips as it was cold

all of above from the Galley 

 Dinner Mexican Restaurant Pink Agave

with three course Mexican meal

you get the gist. Whatever you feel like !

Aussie won!  Good night!

I’m so glad. You will love it.  I don’t understand aps which has made life difficult, but staff are everywhere offering to help. I have just learnt the tablet which has news entertainment sports in it. It controls tv.! It also opens curtains sets mood lighting etc plus you can request services such as cleaning new towels etc. it is clever. I love the innovative Design best. 
breakfast is my favourite

The Galley on 15 has every choice imaginable 

My. Favourite is Noodle Around

Thai Curry Ramen

Chinese girls next to me enjoy Tonkotsu Ramen

it is nice when Galley is empty early.

I want to thank you for the restaurant recommendation - we ordered all the entrees.  Food and atmosphere were excellent. Caught 8pm ferry back from island.

Bon Voyage. Excellent but I use it off peak as you can see. However it may be excellent other times as well

I'm so glad you enjoyed the restaurant. We really enjoyed it the time our friends took us there and would happily make the trip to Waiheke next time we're in Auckland just to go there again.

For those who are going to cruise on Resilient Lady, The Dock is a great place for Tapas. The Show called Persephone is also very good.

That's early, are there any others around? I'm not up till 4 am on a ship and it's usually fairly quiet then.
