Thanks everyone for your comments! You have given us a lot to consider when planning our cruise. Looking forward to reading more comments!

We have only cruised with Norwegian (Pride of America and Epic) and Royal Caribbean (Oasis and Enchantment). We have not cruised around Australia and New Zealand.  I have a friend in Australia who we plan to visit before our cruise. We thought a cruise would be a good way to see parts of both countries.

Princess Itinerary: Sydney, Melbourne, Hobart, Fiordland National Park, Dunedin, Akaroa, Tauranga, and Auckland.

Celebrity Itinerary: Sydney, Eden, Melbourne, Hobart, Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound, Dusky Sound, Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington, Tauranga, and Auckland.

We are considering a cruise next year leaving from Sydney and ending in Auckland. I've seen two cruises that sound interesting. One is on the Celebrity Solstice and the other is. on the Majestic Princess. I'm interested in hearing any comments from people who have been on either. We have not cruised with either cruise line. Thanks in advance!
