LPCRUISER58

They are flicking one, not sure which yet.

I saw somewhere it is $3 for a wash, either way not too expensive.

Apparently some kids threw a couple of life jackets overboard.

Over 140 views and your members have nothing to add, very strange to say the least.

Nice very nice indeed.

The NZ navy can expect some serious coconuts coming their way..........lol

I hear today that Luna on Pacific dawn is dropping one of their crusines, either Thai or Chinese will be dropped and Japanese added.

Anyone heard this story and can anyone verify it?

Cheers

1 in 5 - better odds than most competitions!

Apparently even those odds not good enough for me, not likely to win lotto any time soon either.

Congrats to David Hillier the winner, we may meet on your cruise.

Cheers

Congratulations... Thats really neat.

Good luck.

:):)

Thanks KK

Hopefully the wait pays off.

As part of the cruise expo the local radio station is running a competition.

The prize is a $3000 credit with P and O, that can be used on any cruise the winner wants to do.

Well, they are running the comp for 5 days this week and I am one of the lucky five that may win the prize.

Looking forward to the phone call from 4bc friday mid afternoon, fingers crossed.

Cheers

Just noticed on the bridge cam that Pacific Pearl is at FI today. Doesn't she usually berth at Portside.

Any special reason for the change?

 

How do you board at the grain terminal,grain auger or conveyor belt???

Only kidding guys.

Cheers

Any hints on how to prepare for the long flight to Australia? Luckily stopping in Hawaii for a couple of days!

We take our tablets with us and download the inflight movies etc.

I am a shocking long haul tragic, I get bored so easy, the tablets seem to work for me.

Enjoy your journey and be safe.

Cheers

I think this is the first time Pacific Jewel has been to Apia and this is the first time P&O have been to Apia for a very long time....

 

We where meant to go Apia on the Pacific Pearl in 2011 on the Tahitian Treasures cruise, but because it was going to be a Sunday there, northing would be open, so we instead spent an extra day at another port.

A private charter, that explains why she has been in Apia for a few days.

Thanks for the info.

How would one know about this policy - I have not seen it anywhere, its not in the Terms and Conditions.

I found it on their facebook page.

You will have to search for it, sorry

Not cruising on a cruise line because you can't bring water on board is pretty petty too I think.

 

There are bigger things to care about than water, just fill a drink bottle on the ship.

The quote was more for the P and O trolls who follow these forums.

Real men drink beer not water...........lol

I agree, water is a freely available resourse so I don't understand the ban.

Luckily we are cruising from the 25 october so this this will not effect us. However because of the new regulations we may chose not to cruise P an O again.

 

I just think it is a bit petty.

 

 

Cheers

Edit: I wonder if cask water is included in this new ban, it is not listed in the notice.

stopping people bring on bottles of water is a bit rough, they only want you to buy their water onboard....they must be the only cruise line that would do that

Hi, I am going on Carnival Legend in Nov and rang carnival today as was told that they will have aust plugs on the ship so there is no need to bring adaptors What's:: your view on this as it is an American ship?

Regards Zanny

I would take one just in case, better safe then sorry.

Cheers

Now I do feel like a goose...lmao

Thanks David, how is the trip so far? Nice and calm I hope.

Cheers

Thanks for the pics David, she certainly anchors a long way out from town. Does the tender take you to the town or do they drop you off at the headland?

Cheers

Not sure how much money you will need but I do know that the length of a piece of string is" twice the distance from the centre to the end":D

Or double half its length.............I had to do that.

I don't really care what colour the hull is as long as it has no holes or cracks.................lol

The short answer is yes, they normally get a commission or bonus from the places they visit if they are a commercial type business.

They will also take you to tourist type places with no commissions, generally speaking they will ask you what variations you want to see.

Their time is their own so you are really just paying for the taxi ride with local knowledge.

Hope this helps.
