And the interesting thing is they have retained so much of what she was - even down to keeping the same restaurant names etc.

 

A nice video clip of a grand old lady.

Thanks so much for sharing that link!!

 

It was wonderful to see the Sky again. She's still a great looking lady :)

 

It brought back many happy memories. I had to smile especially when I saw that she still has the same carpets, curtains, bedspreads & chairs in the cabins ;)

[cheznandy]

That would be wonderful wouldn't it??

 

Maybe i'll add it to my cruise wish list ;)

 

As long as she doesn't have the old engine & jellyfish issues anymore it would be a great trip lol!!

Thanks Dennis! Lovely to see that she is being well looked after in the Med.

It is very common to keep everything the same. All the Dining rooms on the Sun are what they were on the Jubilee. It just happened to be that the nightclub on the Jubilee was called Oz Nightclub.;)

I"m intrigued whats with the jelly fish :confused: Please someone tell me

I"m intrigued whats with the jelly fish :confused: Please someone tell me

 

The Sky got stuck in Brisbane River because she sucked some jelly fish into her (not sure what part!!). I think they were delayed for over a day.

 

I've just realised that makes no sense... Hopefully someone else can be a little more clear!

 

Cheers,

Charmain:)

In November 2004, Pacific Sky was about to sail from Brisbane when she sucked a school of jelly fish into her steam condenser system, causing the engine to shut down - literally as she was about to pull away from the wharf as they were powering up the engine for departure. We were on the opposite side of the river at the time, when all of the steam from the engine was vented, and we couldn't work out what was going on. All the water in the condsenser storage tanks had to be drained and fresh, distlled water pumped in, delaying the cruise departure by about 12 hrs.

 

This came on top of the cruise immediately before that being cancelled after breaking down a day out to sea heading for Noumea (after departing 24hrs late as it was). So it wasn't a good month for Pacific Sky.

 

When we sailed out on our cruise, the next cruise after the jell fish incident, everybody was on the deck watching over the side yelling at the jelly fish - very visible in the water - to go away, as there'd been a lot of coverage on the Brisbane news about the troubles Pacific Sky, what was then a new ship to Brisbane, was having.

Well thanks for letting me know I bet it was disappointing at the time sounds kind of funny now But can understand no more jelly fish:)

[DennisN]

The funny thing is, one of the most powerful fighting machines in the world, the Aircraft Carrier U.S.S. Ronald Reagan ran into a similar problem in the Brisbane River some months ago.

 

Seems our little jelly fish are willing to tackle anybody. :D :p :)

Yes, and in 2004 when it happened to Pacific Sky, which was a particularly bad year for jellyfish in the river, she wasn't the only ship afftected - but none of tho the other ships had been deemed 'ill fated' by the Brisbane media at the time, so there wasn't any coverage of those ones.

We miss the Sky, we sailed on her around Asia right before she left.
