After close to 20 years at the helm of super-successful Auckland Viaduct institution Soul Bar, Judith sold up last year to take some time out, travel the world and think about what she wanted to do next. This month, she's hitting our screens twice a week as co-host of TVNZ's My Restaurant Rules, a reality TV series searching for New Zealand's best out-of-the way restaurant.
For this cruise-themed episode of Trip Notes, Judith was the perfect guest - she's been on eight cruise holidays in destinations ranging from the Caribbean and Canada; Greece and Nice; and many more.
We pick her brains about the best luxury cruise ships, things to expect from your first cruise holiday, what not to do on a cruise, and the best ports of call around the world.

Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t.
