NZ & Australia Cruise - Napier Jan. 17, 2020

Note there are multiple pages of photos. Push "All" to enable viewing of all pages.

Stopped in Napier, NZ Jan. 17, 8 to 8. Had a wonderful day of sightseeing in this charming rebuilt city, and photographed gannets close up at Cape Kidnappers with Gannet Safaris Overland. After dinner we took a picture of our awesome cabin attendant. At this point we had spent almost a month on the ship, seeing him morning and evening, always being greeted by name with a smile, and always being delighted by his charming personality and excellent, fast service. Crew members on cruises are usually wonderful, but Rosario was nothing short of exceptional.
