rkacruiser Posted March 18, 2018 #5 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I really don't understand the thinking behind this sale of Pacific Eden. Much money was spent to convert her from my loved Statendam for the P&O Australia market. Has such money spent been recovered already by the Company? What's Pacific Aria's (aka Ryndam) future for this Company, I wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Big_M Posted March 19, 2018 #6 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I really don't understand the thinking behind this sale of Pacific Eden. Much money was spent to convert her from my loved Statendam for the P&O Australia market. Has such money spent been recovered already by the Company? What's Pacific Aria's (aka Ryndam) future for this Company, I wonder. She'll have served 3 years which, while not long, also is reasonable/not uncommon. At the time, P&O needed to expand to meet the competition and she improved their standing. Now they have newer ships to replace her and are going through a period of fleet renewal. At this stage, there's nothing to suggest Aria will be leaving in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetp12 Posted April 10, 2018 #11 Share Posted April 10, 2018 On our last cruise (15 nights) we were waiting for formal nights but they never happened. We spoke to the Matire'd who said that P&O wanted to be more family friendly therefore got rid of the official formal nights but always enjoyed when people dressed up. There was a real mix of people who dressed for dinner or not even on the theme nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porky55 Posted April 15, 2018 #12 Share Posted April 15, 2018 P&O Australia announced this morning that the Pacific Eden will be leaving the fleet in April 2019 :( Here is the announcement: https://www.cruisecritic.com.au/news/news.cfm?ID=8459 Sad to see this happening and find this comment by P&O’s President a little confusing when he says that losing Pacific Eden, refreshing Pacific Dawn and bringing in Golden Princess to the fleet is a strategy to “expand” the line? “The 1,500-passenger Pacific Eden joined the Aussie fleet less than three years ago in November 2015 and was one of the first ships, along with Pacific Aria, to be transformed to reflect P&O’s new modern Australian look. Its departure makes way for the arrival of the larger 2,600-passenger Golden Princess in 2020, which is part of P&O's strategy to expand and refresh the line.” Is it just me ??

Host Walt Posted April 16, 2018 #13 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Sad to see. Statendam was the first of its class before the merger of HAL with Princess. She was still "right sized" (in my opinion) at 1286 pax and should do well with its German clientele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesky014 Posted April 17, 2018 #14 Share Posted April 17, 2018 We have just got off the Explorer, and we were told by a staff member that the Aria is also being sold. Really sad if that is true as we really enjoyed our cruises on the Eden, and were planning to try the Aria once Eden went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
