Cruising the South Pacific

I have just had my first international trip. A 7 night cruise to the Isle of Pine and Noumea.
The ship
When I first caught a glimpse of the Pacific Sky in Sydney Harbour I was speechless. The sight represented all the excitement and promise that I had built up in my mind. The ship itself was well maintained and very clean. The crew were fantastic, the activities are varied, the drink prices are good and the food was varied but I wouldnt say excellent. It is food that is obviously prepared in bulk and considering this it is quite acceptable.
The sailing experience
I loved it, I was also one of the lucky ones who did not get sea sick - a lot of people were and it was a calm sea for the majority of the time! I could stare out at the ocean for hours at a time. Its something that cannot be explained, only
experienced.
The ports
Isle of pine - absolutely beautiful, no crowds, no shops. You can go on a quick tour through one of the villages, snorkel in calm waters and see lots of different fish (the coral isnt coloured though) or just go for a swim and lay on the white beach under a palm tree - heaven on Earth.
Noumea - not very tourist friendly, although it was clean. The pedestrian crossings are not for the faint hearted.
If anyone would like any other information please email me and I shall reply.
