Wayne the captain of the cruise treated some passengers in an impolite manner because they didn't understand what he meant when he said there is a "honesty jar" to pay for anything they order onboard. He then proceeded to ridicule them on the microphone and said "and people wonder why I drink at night". It doesn't matter if you are the owner of the business, please be considerate. English isn't everyone's first language; not everyone understands the lingo; and you have an accent to top it all off. The experience of watching these people get mocked ruined what would have otherwise been a lovely cruise. Do better please Wayne.

Great commentary and beautiful views. Queenstown is a busy tourist city so the lake was a peaceful retreat.

My experience with cruise was super good. Sorry to say But my experience with La Vacanza Travel is very very bad. Because La Vacanza Travel quote me 102$ for this activity but never mentioned 102 USD. It has to be 102USd. I thought it was NZD. So I booked straight away and end paying extra money to Money to La Vacanza Travel. If I booked directly with million dollar cruise it was less. I just need my money back from La Vacanza Travel as they never mentioned clearly the currency
