When I checked a week ago, all companies with online booking had space available for both Milford and Doubtful, so there was no hurry. We tried to weigh our options: overnight cruises promised to be more scenic, but they are also awfully expensive. Milford promised to be more spectacular visually, but Doubtful was more special since fewer people went there and it was also much longer.
From Te Anau it is about two hours by car to get to Milford. This is not as bad as it sounds since there are many scenic views on the way there. I even got that mirror lake picture I have been trying to catch a few days back. Milford itself was spectacular and the weather excellent. The weather part is especially notable for a place with 200 days of rain a year.
We do have crass mountains in Switzerland too, but ours do not end up in the sea. The water is a huge plus and the nice boats too. Much more comfortable than riding up to Gotthard Pass in a Postauto.

Enjoying reading your adventures in NZ and your comments on the mirror picture you captured of the Sounds is wonderful.
