Pacific Sun's Useless Facts and Figures

Here is some useless, and minutely interesting facts on the Pacific Sun. There are:

• 72 chefs, cooks and bakers prepare more than 8,600 meals a day for passengers and crew
  
• Pacific Sun had a makeover in 2008 at a cost of A$10 million
  
• On an average South Pacific cruise, Pacific Sun’s culinary masters will use around: 50,000 eggs, 1000kg of bacon, 2800kg of chicken, 1000kg of lettuce, 2500kg of rice, 375kg of coffee, 1500 kg of pineapples and 5000 litres of milk.
  
• With a length of 223m, Pacific Sun is equivalent to three 747 jumbo jets lined up in a row
  

The passenger capacity is 1900 and about 600 crew. That works out to roughly 20 eggs each. Who is eating all of those eggs???

No wonder I come home fatter.....:eek::eek::eek:

I could imagine people getting told off for using it!

Worth the risk though;)

Sorry its a secret,cant tell! lots of fun when you do find it but very frustrating for cruisers who have not found it,especially those who have cruised on her more than once with no joy:D

Den

Speed: Maximum 21 knots

Passenger cabins: 740 cabins in total – incl 10 suites with balconies; 432 standard outside cabins; 298 standard inside cabins :D

I found it and used it several times although we did get some funny looks going through.

It is a legal door way I think as we never got told off for using it.

I was thinking more along the lines of kids going up and down that would get told off!

That is of course "if" there is only "One" secret staircase" and we are talking about the same "one"!:D

I am sure we are though;)

My one was a spiral staircase.

Cant see why an adult would get warned if you were genuinely going from one place to the other:confused:

I will be using it for sure on my next cruise!:D

But could see problems if lots started to use it all the time:eek:

Maybe there were too many using it? All the more reason to keep it secret..:D

Not sure if there is a secret staircase on the Sun Princess or dawn princess. I checked but couldn't find a door way.

Yes probably best ti keep it a secret then if people are getting told off for using it, I thought it was ok seeing as many people were using it.

My lips are sealed.
