Happy to field any questions, just reply to this topic and I'll try to answer.
Â
My last time on P&O was all the way back in 2015 on the Pearl so a lot of changes since then.
Â
We missed our 3rd port stop (Dravnui), which was very disappointing.

I'll tack on a question:
1. Â From what I've read, the ship assigns you a dining venue (Waterfront, Dragon Lady and Angelo's) and time for the first three nights.Â
So this means for nights 1-3 you're set in the venues, these can't be changed? Ie day 1 = WF, day 2 DL, day 3 ANG.
Â
What about times?
-
Interesting. Thanks for the info.
 -
Are they still actively checking for proof of a negative RAT on check in? I've read it's barely enforced.
-
I hope there are some more first hand reports from passengers who were on this cruise. Very scary.

Vaccine mandates/passes are being dropped shortly, which is a good sign.
-
They keep pushing and pushing the restart back.

My birthday cruise last year was cancelled, hopefully next year I can go on one. August.
-
Hooray, COVID completely eliminated in NZ 🙂
-
My August sailing got cancelled 😞
Was really looking forward to it too.

Another insightful answer as usual, Chief.

Mine is in another 6 months, not immediately, so no concern.
Although it's putting a damper on my other vacation plans.
-
Witnesses and cameras seem to confirm he was a jumper.
-
This is making international news! Just saw it all the way over here.
Hope the Chief offers his advice when he's in. -
Anyone else who had first hand experience want to chime in?

Check out this passenger account.

Folks:
Â
Ovation is in Wellington today, her first stop since leaving Tauranga yesterday.
One can only imagine the mood onboard.
Â
-
Ovation is indeed a semi-regular visitor to Welly during the warmer months.
Somber mood onboard for sure. I expect a lot of media will be around trying to get statements. -
I've made a link to this topic from the one on the main RCI forum.
-
If you'd like more info, see this topic in the AUS/NZ forum:

Very sad and unfortunate. Some first hand reports for those onboard about the mood on the ship?
-
This is very big news here locally in NZ.Â
Very sad and unfortunate for the tourists caught up in this.
This thread is also available in the AUS/NZ forum. -
A concerning hour or 2 for those onboard no doubt!

It was going to happen to the pacific sooner or later!
Just got back from Pacific Explorer X331 to Fiji (Jul 9-17)

According to the captain, high winds. Disappointing.
